Review – The Handpicked Collection

I hadn’t used The Handpicked Collection before now, but I wish I had known about it in the past. The Handpicked Collection is an online gift company which specialise in gifts of high quality and something a little different. If you are struggling for the strange Auntie who lives with all the cats or the Grandmother who still uses the china teapot or the friend who has everything, The Handpicked Collection has something to suit them all. I kid you not.

When I was sent a copy of the Christmas catalogue, I perused the pages picking out gifts for everyone on my list. From the book worms like myself to the keen gardener or the wine connoisseur there is something in there. There are quite a few of the more expensive gifts on the catalogue but prices that start at £2.95, there is something to suit all budgets.

I chose this beautiful Photo Tray from the Handpicked Collection to review and try out. I got it in the Black Lacquer. Also comes in a lovely walnut finish.

I think this is simply stunning. It is well made, sturdy and look fantastic. A gift I would love to receive and will definitely be giving in the future.

The tray comes with mounted spaces for the insertion of four 6×4 photographs. Or you could just get one large photo and put it in there. It is something a little different from the usual photo frame or the photo books. It is not only gorgeous but it is functional and has a heat resistant glass front to protect the pictures. Because the back removes to allow you to inset the pictures, they can be updated and changed again and again. You could even insert seasonal ones. I cannot tell you how gorgeous this looks, how sturdy and expensive it looks and how practical it is. Can you tell I love it?

I will be buying one of these for my in laws, what better a gift for grandparents than photographs of their grandchildren.

Also another great gift for a wedding, christening or any special occasion you would like to mount those special memories in. At £29.95 I think this is great value for money.

The website is an expertly designed site and works very well, I don’t like sites were you have to troll through them to find out what you are looking for. This site has taken out the hard work for you. They use an expert panel of chefs, journalists, designers and entrepreneurs have taken the leg work out of picking the ideal gift using their clever gift finder. Their recommendations make up each item in the collection.

The Handpicked Collection scooped two prestigious industry awards this year, recognising them for their branding and their online shopping experience.

I would highly recommend The Handpicked Collection, their site is excellent, they have a vast range of gifts to suit all tastes and budgets and the tray we tried was fantastic.

You can also follow them on Facebook and on Twitter for all the latest offers and news.
