When we launched in 2014, our packages were all created as gifts for new mums. Our aim was to make the recipient feel looked after and encouraged to take ten minutes for themselves. Very quickly our customers saw the thoughtfulness of these packages and wanted to send them for lots of occasions – get well, bereavement, birthdays and any time someone deserved some TLC.
As the business has grown, we have had customers asking if they can tweak packages to make it just right for the recipient. Being thoughtful is at the centre of everything we do, so we created this package so our products can be put together in any combination.

Laura Gould –
I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent service – my brother- and sister-in-law have today received the ‘create your own’ hamper we ordered from you – they are really thrilled with it – and I can now think of them enjoying treats for much longer than a bunch of flowers would last. It was the perfect way to say thank you to both of them.
Your website was really easy to use, and you have a great range of products to choose from. I will definitely be ordering from you again!
Sarah Stevenson –
Thank you for making it easy to celebrate missed events, comfort far-flung loved ones, and sharing joy while it’s hard to share anything.
Stay amazing guys! X
Emma –
Wow! Just received this from my company as a thank you for being on furlough. Brilliant products, what a treat!
Carrie Sparks –
Haven’t seen my mum since beginning of February (like many other people) and she is due to have an op on Monday, I sent her one your lovely gift packages which she received today and it made her cry (in a good way). I was also able to take advantage of the BlueLight discount as am a key worker which was very helpful in this time of economic uncertainty. I will definitely use your service again and will be sure to recommend to others. Excellent job from a fellow “emergency” and much needed service. Keep up the good work and keep your kind staff safe and well.
Ashlee Chandiram –

Just wanted to say how much you made my mums Mother’s Day. I sent her one of you parcels and she keeps saying how much it cheered her up! She’s even got my dad using the nursem hand cream she’s been in self isolation now with suspected covid-19 which turned to pneumonia. Thankfully she is feeling better now xxx
Jess Evans –
I ordered our best friends package on Friday and it arrived this morning. She’s a new mum (of a week) and none of us can go near her! (Or our new nephew)
This package made her sob, but with happiness and delight- so thank you for allowing 5 friends of 29+ years to feel connected during this time xx
Kelsey Pickin –
I finally ordered one of your wonderful packages this week. Unfortunately because a friend lost her Father but she was thankful for the thought behind her package. I spoke to her on the phone last night (unbeknownst to her that her package was due to arrive this morning) & she commented at how overwhelmed she was by the amount of flowers she’d been sent. Needless to say she was choked to receive such a different sentiment this morning packed with bits to look after herself with over the coming weeks. A brilliant business you have & one I will absolutely use again xx
Helen Hilton –
I sent my friend one of your lovely gift packages following her recent mastectomy. She absolutely loved it and I think it gave her a real lift when it arrived this morning (AND service was spot on!). She even said how much more welcome it was than a bunch of flowers. Great work x
Kate Nicholls –
Thank you so much for getting my friends create your own package to her so quickly today. I had this message when she returned from work this evening:

Thank you thank you thank you!!
Wendy English –
Just wanted to say thank you for all that you do!!! I have sent yet another of your fabulous gift parcels and I know it will be loved!
I’ve sent it to a very special person to me, she needs some love and cheering up and a hug from a far and today she will feel loved when she opens her parcel.
Thank you. It’s such a great idea.
Elizabeth Hedron –
I sent a friend a DBHF packed and she was absolutely delighted with it! Her husband’s not well and I thought she needed some TLC. I did her a bespoke package – eye mask, face mask, magazine, choc buttons and Prosecco!
Sue Phillips –
I received a fabulously packaged gift box from your company, sent by my daughter living in LA. I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the carefully chosen contents and I’ve recommended you to friends.
Thanks so very much
Laura Bentley –
My friend adored her DBHF box, particularly the yesmum cards . She’s a third time mum so it’s tricky to know what she’s already got so choosing lovely bits for her, the baby, her older kids and even a cheeky beer for her husband was perfect. Thank you – also everyone in the team was asking for links to the site and raving about the eco friendly packaging.
Sarah Lotherington –
Look what my sister just sent me…
“Thank you so much for such a clever present!! I love it and will save it for my op week!!”

Fiona Drysdale –
I wanted to say thank you for your packages. I’ve sent 2 now, one for a friend post baby & another for a friend after she had a miscarriage, they were perfect.
Lizzie Macson –
Hello,
Just to say a little thanks and well done on ‘Dont buy her flowers’.
I recently gave birth to my fourth baby (yup 4!!!!!) it was all a bit traumatic he was quite poorly he had a complication & an op which led to a long hospital stay. Quite rightly he took total priority and we rushed around and were all fully consumed by him and willing him to pull through- and he did!! My point though is because of all this the birth and me were totally over shadowed and while that was exactly how it should be one of my lovely friends sent me a DBHF box a few days after we were finally home. And it was the loveliest package. All for me with really sweet and well thought out gifts. I felt it was a real treat and a wonderful well done from her.
Sammi Broadbent –
Some great feedback from my first purchase from DBHF! Really pleased with the box! Great ‘get well soon’ present for my sister in law! I LOVE the design your own box. Thank you! Xxx
