Pear Post Gift Box

Three good things from three independent UK makers, made for sunny afternoons.

A bottle of Essex chalk-soil sparkling wine from a family vineyard near Saffron Walden. A Suffolk honey that's been cold-smoked over hickory and stirred with scotch bonnet. Olives marinated in olive oil with rosemary, garlic and sun-dried tomato.

Three things to open slowly, somewhere warm. Cheese, bread, garden chair optional. A bottle that pops with enough character to hold its own next to anything France can do, paired with two of the most properly grown-up snacks we know.

Everything is packed with care and delivered in our signature Pear Post gift box, beautifully presented and ready to open the moment it arrives.

FAQs ▾

Tell me more about the sparkling wine.

Saffron Grange is a boutique family vineyard near the historic market town of Saffron Walden, sitting on the same chalk seam that runs from Champagne through Sussex into Essex. The Classic Cuvée is their signature wine and the one that's brought home most of their awards, made in the traditional method from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier with two and a half years on its lees.

How spicy is the chilli honey?

Properly hot, but balanced. Number Eighteen use a cold-smoking process to infuse the honey with hickory smoke and scotch bonnet without losing the active enzymes that make raw honey what it is. The heat sneaks up on you a beat after the sweetness. Brilliant drizzled over pizza, blue cheese, fried halloumi or a crusty bread and butter situation.

Is this box suitable for vegans?

The wine and the olives are vegan, but the cold-smoked chilli honey contains honey, which makes the box overall vegetarian rather than vegan. Get in touch if you'd like a bespoke fully vegan version.

Can I send this directly to the recipient?

Absolutely. Tick "send directly to recipient" at checkout, add their address, and we'll dispatch with no invoice or pricing inside. You can include a handwritten gift message at no extra cost. The recipient will need to be 18 or over and may be asked for ID on delivery.

Is this a good gift for a birthday or anniversary?

Perfect for either. The sparkling wine makes it feel like an occasion, and the chilli honey and olives are both grown-up enough to land well with a foodie recipient. Birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations, or the kind of weekend that deserves something better than the supermarket meal deal.
