Yuppiechef The Gift of Giving
Competition entries are CLOSED!
Yuppiechef is one of my favourite online homeware stores! This is mainly because I love cooking and fancy myself as a bit of a kitchen diva! I simply love having all the latest kitchen equipment and gadgets! When I was invited to a media morning at Yuppiechef HQ I was, yes you guessed it – excited!
Yuppiechef
As well as being my go-to website, for anything for my own home, it is also my favourite when I am looking for gifts for others. I always tell my friends and family if they are unsure what to buy me – make it a Yuppiechef voucher! Their website is user-friendly and well designed. This makes it easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. They have a fabulous selection of homeware goodies and all the gadgets any self respecting kitchen diva should own! Their service is top-notch and the personalised note, which you receive with your purchase is a great touch 🙂
If you have visited my Gift Guide, you will know that Yuppiechef offer great gift soloutions, which include Gift Boxes. A recent addition to their offering is the Yuppiechef FOMOBOX, which is a monthly subscription box. Each month subscribers receive a hand-picked range of different food products. Products include coffee, biscuits, snacks, ingredients, craft beer and wine. As a subscriber, you’ll also get to try latest releases and products new to the market.
Media Morning
Our morning started off with coffee and a delicious breakfast. After which we were treated to a look behind the scenes. It was really great to meet some of the people who run this fantastic operation, as well as finding out what keeps a successful business like Yuppiechef ticking over.
After our tour each of us had the opportunity of packing a personalised gift, for a special someone in our life. Essentially giving something back!
