IMP & MAKER

Sarah Louise created IMP & MAKER in 2020 with an idea focused on the moment a gift arrives: food and drinks that could be enjoyed and shared. The company recalls a large corporate order in its first Christmas as one of the experiences that helped drive the business. The founder’s later appearance on Dragons’ Den broadened the public introduction of this British food hamper brand.

The name connects two roles. Imp is the mischievous little character contributing an informal look; maker refers to the producers of the selected foods and drinks. That combination appears in gifts organized around a meal, an appetizer spread, or a celebration, with wooden boxes and wicker baskets among the available presentations.

Cheese, charcuterie, and wine selections make up a substantial part of the catalog. There are boxes for putting together a cheese board and antipasti offerings, alongside Italian hampers. Posh Ploughman’s recalls the British lunch, while Posh Pub in a Box combines drinks and accompaniments for an occasion at home. Each set is defined by its contents and presentation.

Breakfast and afternoon tea offer other directions. British Farmhouse Breakfast and smoked salmon, egg, and sourdough selections focus on the first meal of the day. Signature Afternoon Tea and Ultimate Afternoon Tea develop the tea-and-sweets side. Meat options include tomahawk gifts, featuring a beef cut with a long rib bone.

Drinks range across wine, Champagne, prosecco, ale, and cider, alongside nonalcoholic selections. The catalog has vegan, gluten-free, and halal gift sections, as well as choices for cheese, chocolate, and meat enthusiasts. These categories guide shopping by contents and preferences, while individual listings detail what each hamper contains.

A personalized message is included with the order, and the delivery date can be scheduled. The shop offers gifts for birthdays, weddings, thank-you occasions, housewarmings, and seasonal celebrations. Its multiple-recipient system supports different addresses within one purchase; larger orders have a dedicated form.

The corporate channel adds a portal for incorporating a company’s branding into gifts. Producers can submit proposals through Become a Maker, and inquiries cover contents, dietary requirements, and special requests. IMP & MAKER organizes food selection, presentation, and distribution around the person or group receiving the gift.
