“Receiving a box of beautiful, delicious food felt like a hug from home.  I was in a period of deep grief, living on the other side of the world from family and solo parenting our three year old.  I was only just holding it together.”

• What were you gifted?  Family from Australia sent a beautiful meal bundle from FieldGoods, and it was literally one of the most impactful gifts I have ever received.
• Why did your loved one gift it?  I had very recently lost my Mum who was one of the most important people in the world to me, was in a period of solo parenting our toddler, trying to start this business and living on the other side of the world from family and friends.  Grief is an exhausting and isolating experience on its own, but it was so hugely compounded by everything else happening.
• How did it help / make you feel?  With everything going on, looking after myself was low on the priority list (to be fair it didn't feature at all), so to see the FieldGoods box arrive at my door step a day after my Husband left for a work trip literally made me cry; I felt like someone was looking after me, and understood what I was experiencing.  And the fact that it was organised by family in Australia made me feel less alone - like the support was there despite the distance.  I'm a HUGE lover of food - it's a passion of mine & my love language, and the meals were DELICIOUS.  They are the most delicious pre-made meals I've had - there's a feeling of genuine comfort, quality and amazing taste.
• Would you gift this to someone else?  100% would gift a FieldGoods bundle to someone I love, and I will even purchase them for myself and my family again when we know we have busy periods coming up to reduce the mental load - I love some comforting indulgence, especially when it means I don't have to cook or plan.  The meals are restaurant quality with beautiful packaging and very, very comforting - this combo is really hard to find in the ready-made food arena, and FieldGoods have nailed it.  Also, a big shout out to the Thai Curry's - they're an absolute winner.
