Difficult to buy for? Our (rather good) solution.

Finding the perfect gift – the age-old problem.

Have you been tasked with buying a gift for a person that has simply everything? How do you select a thoughtful gift that they will not only use, but that they don’t yet have? In fact, where do you even start?!

 Perhaps you have some ideas, but you’re wanting something not only tasteful but practical too. Something that evokes an ‘I never knew I needed that, but it has been a game changer!’ response. However, you know that they have all the gadgets, all the clothes, all the hobby-related gifts that you can think of. You need something outside the box…but what exactly is eluding you.

 Fret not, because here at Harriet and Rose, thoughtful and unusual gifting is just our style. Not only is our team friendly and happy to help no matter the dilemma, but we also have a vast range of stock, ensuring there is something for every person, hobby, or occasion. Whether that be in our pre-made care packages, our care packages designed specifically by you for your recipient, at Harriet and Rose we do take gifting very seriously.

 Our Care Packages.

By far our most popular tailored approach to gifting is our care packages, which have been a stalwart of Harriet and Rose since our inception. Whatever the dilemma – birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, moving house, or even just a need for a little TLC – our care packages fit the bill. Outlined below are a couple of our most popular care packages, for every eventuality. Lots of other options are also available on our website, as well as the build your own items that we can get ready for you.

Do you need a quick, simple, yet thoughtful birthday gift? At £28.00, our OG, and best-selling care package is simply the Harriet and Rose Original. Containing a heat up single use eye mask from Spacemasks (which we love for headaches, long haul journeys, or just for a little bit of self-love on a mid-week evening), as well as a Jersey made shower scrub from local business Jersey Skin, and chocolate bar, and specially selected candle: it suits almost all tastes. Our Arthouse chocolate bars, which come in a range of both delicious and unusual flavours, with artwork that supports individuals with additional or complex neuro-diverse needs are gorgeous in their own right.

Perhaps you know a loved one adores a good book (and has a great sense of humour). Look no further than our Slightly Sweary Reader’s gift package. Not only a staff favourite (we all share a sweary sense of humour, which is evident in our cards you can find on the shop’s second floor) but also guaranteed to make your recipient giggle. Containing a sweary slogan candle jar, one of our fiction picks for the month and a chocolate bar, this gift package is perfect for those who adore getting stuck into a novel, as much as they like a giggle. As a team of book-lovers, you can always ensure a thoughtfully picked novel for someone you love (or yourself) to get hooked on!

 At Harriet and Rose, we are big on supporting local, especially our Island’s small independent businesses. Our Jersey Gift Package therefore showcases the best of Jersey. Carefully curated to showcase the beautiful artisanal craftmanship that the island has to offer, our Jersey Care Package contains locally made Jersey Sea Salt, Jersey Skin Netti (body wash) bars and Bonne Nuit pillow mist (a lovely Jersey lavender scented sleep mist).

As an independent ourselves, we appreciate the hardships as well as what it takes to succeed on the island. By supporting new ventures with equally exciting ideas, it allows us all to flourish (plus, all the products we include in our Jersey care package are the best quality!). For £29.50, we think we showcase the best, without breaking the bank.

Do you know someone moving house, but you’re not sure really what gift says ‘new home’ in a tasteful (and personalised) way? Our New Home package has a customisable base package of three vegetable wax taper candles, a candle holder, and a box of patterned matches for £32.50. You can request more neutral tones, or brights, to ensure that your package fits with your recipient’s tastes. Designed to bring a touch of curated comfort to a new abode…Harriet and Rose style!

 Or maybe you, or someone you love, is going through a tough time. You just want a little something, nothing too-in-your-face, that just says, ‘I’m thinking about you, and I’m here for you’. Our Fifteen Minutes ‘You Time’ Care Package is a bundle of love (and self-care) in one of our pretty bags. Containing a sachet of bath salts, a Spacemask, candle jar and Jersey Skin Bonne Nuit pillow mist it is the perfect tiny, but thoughtful, package.

 As with all our care packages, we do sometimes have to substitute with similar items if the originals fly out in the shop. We can also add additional items into your care packages, so they meet exactly what you are looking for. Detailed on our website are additional items that are Harriet & Rose approved, including lip balms in a range of flavours, scrub bars, and a selection of FATSO mini chocolate bars that have both bright packaging and bold flavours.

 All our care packages come wrapped in tissue in our very own gift bags (which are bougie gift bags, if we do say so ourselves). We do only offer local delivery (very sorry to all who visit us and would love to order from us) but the good news is that standard delivery on Island is free. We recommend leaving three to five business day to ensure that your package arrives with its lucky recipient. However, we do offer next day delivery only in St. Helier for an additional £5, though if this is something you are needing please get in touch with us to sort out.

 We also ask for a personalised gift message which completes a perfectly well-rounded gift package (if we do say so ourselves) – dotting your I’s and crossing your t’s to ensure the most personalised and thoughtful gift possible.

 However, if none of these options take your fancy (or bespoke is more your thing), you can always pop us an email at shop@harrietandrose.co.uk and let us know your event, recipient, and budget. Perhaps you want something personal for a wedding or engagement gift, but you are unsure where to start, or the nuances of what may distinguish one from the other. Confusing, and a little bit of a minefield, right?

 As always, fret not, because here at Harriet and Rose, thoughtful and unusual gifting is just our style. Even if our care packages don’t take your fancy, there are lots of books, candles and assorted gifts that you never knew you needed in store. Our team is on hand with endless ideas for something special for every occasion. We love making sure that your gifts are as thoughtful and considerate as possible so you, our customers, are as happy as your loved ones on the receiving end.
