Thoughtful gifts for food lovers
With so many gifting options out there, finding something that someone will genuinely love can feel a little overwhelming. We think the best gifts are the ones that are useful, delicious and made with care – and if you’re buying for someone who loves good food, British charcuterie is a pretty good place to start.
At The Real Cure, our award-winning cured meats are made by hand at Hartgrove Farm in Dorset using traditional techniques including curing, fermenting, smoking and air drying. Some of our salamis take months to make, and we put just as much care into presenting our gifting range as we do making what goes inside. With a 4.9/5 customer rating from more than 950 reviews, you can gift with confidence too.
From a little “thank you” to a milestone birthday, retirement or Christmas present, our collection of charcuterie gifts, letterbox hampers and luxury food hampers has something for almost every occasion and budget.
A little something to say thank you
Not every present needs to be enormous. Sometimes you simply want to say “thank you”, “congratulations”, “thinking of you” or “you deserve a treat”.
Our letterbox charcuterie gifts are perfect for these smaller moments. The Thank You Charcuterie Letterbox is an easy way to send something delicious straight to their door, while the Congratulations Charcuterie Letterbox makes a brilliant alternative to the usual bottle of fizz or bunch of flowers.
For serious snackers, there’s the Great British Snacking Box, packed with savoury treats, or the Real Snaffling Snacking Box. They make particularly good gifts for students heading off to university, new parents who need something easy to grab from the cupboard, or anyone who appreciates a proper protein-packed snack.
Gifts they’ll actually want
Food rarely gathers dust on a shelf, which is one of the reasons we think it makes such a brilliant birthday present.
Our Happy Birthday Charcuterie Letterbox is one of our most popular gifts. Inside is a generous selection of award-winning cured meats, including whole, sliced and snacking charcuterie, along with a Happy Birthday card which we can handwrite with your own personalised message.
For something a little bigger, try our Celebration Charcuterie Hamper, Little Feasting Hamper or Family Favourites Charcuterie Letterbox. Each offers plenty to discover and is ideal for someone who would much rather receive salami than socks.
Our bestselling Signature Hamper
If you want to spoil someone, the Real Cure Signature Hamper is hard to beat.
Beautifully presented and filled with a selection of our handcrafted British charcuterie, it includes favourites such as Hartgrove Coppa, Sloe & Garlic Wild Venison Salami, Wild Venison Chorizo, Wild Venison Pepperoni, Dorset Chorizo Picante, Dorset Blue Vinny & Fig Salami and Fennel & White Pepper Salami.
It’s a proper introduction to The Real Cure range and a brilliant choice for birthdays, anniversaries, Father’s Day, Christmas or simply for someone who takes their charcuterie board very seriously.
For cheese and charcuterie lovers
Know someone who thinks every good salami deserves a good cheese alongside it? Our Cheese & Charcuterie Hamper brings together some of our favourite West Country produce in one box.
Alongside Hartgrove Coppa, Pink Peppercorn & Purbeck Cider Salami, Dorset Chorizo Picante and Black Truffle Salami, you’ll find Godminster Organic Vintage Cheddar, Honey & Oat Biscuits, Cider Apple Jelly and Mr Filbert’s Rosemary & Garlic Olives.
All they need to do is open the box, find a board and start feasting.
Gifts for the serious foodie
For the person who deserves something particularly special, go big.
Our Banqueting Charcuterie Hamper is the largest hamper in our range and is packed with a huge selection of our multi-award-winning cured meats, including classics such as Dorset Chorizo Picante alongside newer favourites including Black Truffle Salami and our snacking sticks.
At £100, it makes a showstopping gift for milestone birthdays, big anniversaries, retirements or Christmas. There’s enough charcuterie inside to keep a serious food lover happily grazing for weeks – or to create an impressive spread for friends and family.
You can also explore our For the Love of Charcuterie Hamper or go even further with The Ultimate Cure – Charcuterie Feasting Hamper, both created for people who really, really like cured meat.
Let them choose their own
Buying for someone with very particular tastes? Our Build Your Own Hamper lets you create a gift around the flavours you know they’ll enjoy.
You could opt for smoky and spicy favourites, wild venison, traditional pork salamis or some of our more unusual flavours. Think Black Truffle Salami, Dorset Blue Vinny & Fig, Pink Peppercorn & Purbeck Cider, Sloe & Garlic Wild Venison Salami, Dorset Chorizo Picante, Wild Venison Beer Sticks and plenty more.
Or, if choosing for them still feels risky, send one of our digital gift cards and let them do the difficult bit themselves.
Give them an experience
For the food lover who would rather make something than simply unwrap it, a gift voucher can also be put towards one of our Charcuterie Experience Days at The Real Cure.
They’ll get hands-on learning about the craft behind charcuterie, including making sausages, curing bacon and making their own salami and chorizo. They’ll leave with a bag of goodies, while the chorizos they make are left with us to mature before being sent on once they’re ready.
It’s a gift, a day out and a supply of charcuterie all rolled into one.
Beautifully packed and ready to gift
Whichever you choose, our hampers and letterbox gifts can be sent directly to the lucky recipient. Add a personalised gift note at checkout and we’ll include your message inside the box.
Even better, much of our charcuterie has a long shelf life and doesn’t need to be refrigerated until opened. That makes it particularly easy to send as a surprise – and our letterbox gifts can slip through the door without the recipient needing to be home.
Whether you’re looking for a small thank-you, a birthday food gift, a British charcuterie hamper, a Christmas present or something spectacular for a milestone celebration, there’s a Real Cure gift for it.
Made in Dorset. Packed with award-winning British charcuterie. Beautifully packaged. Most importantly, very good to eat.
