Wooden Hamper Boxes
For as long as we can remember, wooden gift boxes have been a WBC top 10 best seller for luxury gift packaging.
Our wooden hamper boxes are perfect for year-round gifting, but what really makes them useful for retailers is that they come in standardised sizes that make it even easier to offer customers a variety of price points.
Simply choose from four best-selling sizes, 12”, 14”, 18”, 20” to create a gift collection that covers all your bases. These will have foodie (and drink) dads with an eye for simple design, chomping at the bit to get inside... just make sure they’re packed with something a little more exciting than dressing gowns.

Beer Carriers
For those selling beer directly from your shop, it’s all about the beer carriers. Ours come in kraft card or fabric jute and both are genius for upselling stock when offering a buy 5 get 1 free or similar promotion.
WBC’s range of beer boxes and bags is growing every day with the surging popularity of artisan craft beer. And really they work too if Charlotte Dean, from Wined Up Here is anything to go by, she says:
“We bought 50 jute beer bags and offered them free when people bought 6 beers. If anyone came to the counter with 3 or 4 beers, we mentioned the free bag and it was a no-brainer. People just upped their purchase to 6 beers. We sold out of the bags and bought more in January and the trick still works!”
Gift Wrap
What’s the big tissue? Sorry, Dad joke.
But it's finishing touches like this that will set your gifts apart so for a classic way to wrap your bottles in style or pad out hampers shop WBC’s range of tissue paper.
The manufacturer that makes it recycles 100% of its waste, uses only water-based inks AND powers the factory using hydroelectricity. There you go, some serious Dad facts for you.

Made from the finest FSC approved timber, stack these around the shop with your own gift tag and hey presto - ready-made Dad friendly gift idea.
