Local Suppliers
We're proud to come from Yorkshire! We've teamed up with some fantastic local suppliers to create our unique gift range.
Brittains Premium Vodkas
Using only the finest Yorkshire raspberries from fruit producers near Doncaster, in a recipe lovingly developed in a local farm kitchen, husband and wife team John and Fiona Raper created a true Yorkshire Raspberry Vodka that has had the region’s high–end retailers and restaurants clamouring for more. Experimentation with flavours and John’s vision for expanding the product range has now led to ten exciting flavours; - we'redelighted to include Brittains flavoured vodkas in our range of gift hampers.
Brittains Premium Vodkas can currently be found in our Chilli-Chocolate Indulgent Hamper and our Girl's Night In Hamper, but watch this space ...with such yummy flavours we can't resist adding more to our range!
Choc-Affair
The City of York has long been renowned for producing delicious chocolate and that tradition continues with Choc-Affair, a local company producing hand-made Fair Trade chocolate goodies.
It all began when owner Linda Barrie's two young daughters were milk intolerant. Traditional hot chocolate drinks were out of the question and so some innovation was needed. A few bars of dark chocolate, some spoonfuls of unrefined sugar and lots of soya milk later, delicious hot chocolate was created. Linda drafted in friends and family for tasting sessions and Choc-affair was officially born.
Choc-Affair chocolate can be found in Spuddy Buddy the Couch Potato, Chilli-Chocolate Indulgent Hamper, Girl's Night In Hamper, and our ever popular Choc & Sock Bouquets for ladies, teens and young girls; - we're working on some more tasty treats (its a hard job but someone's got to do it!) so watch this space...

Originally established over 40 years ago under the family name of Mrs Bainbridge, the award winning Harrogate Cake Company first opened its doors in 2007.
Passionate about quality, their distinctive flavours are achieved using only the finest, locally sourced, natural ingredients.

Bracken Hill Fine Foods
The Say It Personally team are thrilled to include preserves, sauces and condiments from this award-winning Yorkshire producer in our range - and their products have become firm favourites in our home kitchens!
After 20 years making preserves for other people Neil decided to "go it alone" and produce high quality preserves using as many locally grown ingredients as possible. With the help of his wife Gill, Bracken Hill Fine Foods was born. Their son Peter joined them two years later and with the help of friends and a dedicated team have gone from strength to strength, producing some of Yorkshire's finest Preserves. Both Neil and Gill began life in agriculture and it is important to them both to use the best ingredients from local growers where possible. Indeed the name Bracken Hill derives from Neil's Grandfather's farm on the East coast of Yorkshire.
Products from Bracken Hill Fine Foods can be found in many of our Gifts for Grown-Ups: our Chilli gift sets - Some Like it Hot and Deluxe Chilli Gift Set, as well as Curry Favour Hamper, The Yorkshireman Hamper, Here Comes Summer BBQ Hamper and Good Morning Yorkshire Basket as well as several of our seasonal Christmas hampers.
Wold Top Brewery
Our men-folk (and some of us ladies!) love these traditional beers from the Yorkshire coast, so we've included their "Wold Gold" Blonde Beer in some of our gift sets.
"Wold Gold" is a blonde continental style beer, a heady mix of Wold grown Barley, Wheat and Cara malt hopped with Goldings and Styrian Goldings hopps to give the beer its soft, fruity flavour with a hint of spice.
Beer and curry ...this is the one!
Wold Top Beer can be found in many of our hampers including Spuddy Buddy Couch Potato, The Yorkshireman Hamper, Man's Night In, Chillin' With a Chilli and Curry Night Deluxe, as well as further gifts for men coming soon...
