From epic hampers to bespoke picnics to the ultimate proposal – this gift company has it all

Be in the Good Books is now offering bespoke picnic experiences to add to its already stunning range of customised hampers.

Everyone deserves to feel special, and no one knows this better than Bernadette Crook, the all-round entertainment and events guru who has been running her personalized gift box company ‘Be in the Good Books’ for the last year and a half in Adelaide.

Aimed at taking the pain out of gift-giving, and using only the best of ecologically sustainable South Australian produce, Bernie has upped the ante just in time for Christmas, by adding bespoke picnic experiences to the mix.

Initially targeting those who might want to create the ultimate proposal, or celebrate an anniversary not to be forgotten, Be in the Good Books lets you choose your location (think your favourite winery or secluded spot in the country) and then hand over the reins.

“Everyone deserves to feel loved and appreciated,” says Bernie.

“Everything we use in these set-ups is unique, including vintage furniture items, grazing boxes, floral arrangements and decor sourced specifically to make your occasion feel that extra bit special.”

Already available on her website, the grazing boxes are a beautifully curated selection of exclusively South Australian cheeses, crackers, dips, fresh fruit and wines of your choice, not to mention the cutest of cards and items to pamper yourself or the one you love.

A professional photographer can also be arranged to capture the loved-up moments you won’t want to forget, and for that extra wow-factor, you can be serenaded by the award-winning acoustic duo ‘All About Her,’ well-known on the SA bridal and events circuit.

“You can buy physical gifts for people, sure, but if your love language is like mine, it’s all about receiving gifts and spending quality time with the person you care about most,” Bernie says.

Perfect for those who love to leave their Christmas gift-giving to the last minute, Be in the Good Books has vouchers available for the experiences, which you can customize to your heart’s desire, and they recommend including one of their tailored boxes to really show you care.

To give you an idea of what you can achieve, ‘The Ultimate Escape’ package comes with a boho and vintage picnic set-up, including low tables, rugs and pillows, a delicious grazing box for two, your choice of wine in vintage glassware, a professional photographer for one hour, and two hours of live background music.

Sounds like heaven to us.
