Calling all pickle lovers! Yorkshire-based luxury food hall Weetons has launched what it believes to be the world’s first Pickle Christmas Hamper, a limited edition gift filled with every pickle related produce you could need, from crunchy cucumbers and tangy pickled onions to pickle seasonings and gourmet pickle crisps. Pickle dreams really do come true.
The UK is in the middle of a pickle boom, and we’re all obsessed. Pickle everything has taken over social media feeds, pickle martinis have landed on cocktail menus, and the trend has spilled into fast food, supermarket aisles, and even sold-out pickle festivals. Google Trends data shows searches for pickles are up 550% in the past year and Pinterest searches have risen by 150%, while “picklecore” has gone viral on TikTok and Gen Z spent the summer hosting pickle parties.
Now Weetons is bringing the pickle trend to Christmas gifting. Presented in a classic 16-inch Weetons wicker hamper, the glorious Pickle Christmas Hamper brings together eight pickle-packed treats, plus one very festive guest. Inside the hamper, you will find:
Goat Rodeo Goods Big Dill Energy Cucumber Pickles
Goat Rodeo Goods Rodeo Disco Cucumber Pickles
Goat Rodeo Goods Hell or High Water Hot Dog Pickles
Goat Rodeo Goods The Pickle Tickle Pickle Salt
Goat Rodeo Goods Sumac Sliced Pickled Onions
Drivers Bread & Butter Pickles
Drivers Dill Pickle Slices
Torres Pickle Flavoured Potato Crisps share bag
Mr Pickle, a festive green dinosaur wool decoration (17cm)
The star of the show is Mr Pickle, a mischievous green dinosaur who has joined the festivities for the occasion. Dressed for the season in a Santa hat and red scarf, the 17cm wool decoration is ready to take pride of place on the tree long after the last pickle has been eaten.
Liam Gill, director at Weetons, said: “Pickles have certainly been the snack of the year, from pickle-topped everything on social media to pickle martinis at the bar, so we wanted to create a Christmas gift that is gloriously, unapologetically pickle-packed. From Big Dill Energy pickles to Pickle Tickle seasoning, every item has been chosen to celebrate the humble pickle, and we have a feeling Mr Pickle will be the most talked about decoration on the tree this year.”
“It’s made for the pickle obsessives, the adventurous foodies and those impossible to buy for people on your list. It really is one Christmas gift they’ll never see coming. Dare we say it, it’s kind of a big dill!”
The Weetons Pickle Christmas Hamper is priced at £95.00 and is a limited edition item available exclusively at Weetons. It can be ordered online at https://weetons.co.uk/
