Watton Christmas Hamper Appeal

Visiting Dorrington House - Watton is always such a special experience and very close to our hearts. Hayley goes above and beyond to make every visit feel so welcoming and we are so grateful for her warmth and care.

We’ve been visiting the same residents for three years now, all of which do not have any visitors all year long. It’s truly an honor to spend time with them and sometimes, even bring a tear to their eyes. Moments like these remind us how powerful a little kindness and company can be. Thank you Hayley for hosting us! 🫶🏻

Today we swapped the shop floor for the car and headed out on the road, delivering hampers straight to doorsteps. 🚗🎁

There’s just something about knocking on a door, handing over a hamper and seeing the reaction up close really kicks our Christmas spirit into full swing. The kids have soaked up every single moment these last few days and talked of the ‘butterflies’ in their tummies, they realised that those butterflies are really just that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you know you’re about to do something kind. That little flutter of excitement mixed with care and happiness — the feeling that comes from giving, not expecting anything back. Seeing them recognise that feeling, name it and understand where it comes from has made this even more special. It’s a feeling I hope they carry with them for a long time. I know I will. ❤️

I often say, and I mean it…that it’s almost selfish why I do these hampers, because the feeling it gives me is unlike anything else. It fills my heart in a way that’s hard to put into words and today was another reminder of just how powerful a small act of kindness can be.

Thank you again to everyone who has supported us, encouraged us and helped make this possible. We’re so grateful, and we’re carrying every smile, every thank you and every emotional moment with us as we head into the rest of the Christmas season!

Merry Christmas Watton ❤️🎄✨

What a truly heartwarming day ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make today possible. From the incredible support from Tesco Watton, to all those who stopped for a chat, shared kind words, or helped point us in the direction of someone who might appreciate a little Christmas surprise — we are so grateful.

The children enjoyed today more than ever. As they get older, they’re really starting to understand and appreciate the reactions we see, which is just lovely to watch. We were met with so many smiles, so much appreciation and yes…several criers 🥹 — emotional in the moment, but exactly the warm, fuzzy feeling we hope these hampers bring.

We’ll be back at it tomorrow, but on the road this time, delivering hampers straight to doorsteps! 🚗🎁

Thank you again to everyone who supported us, encouraged us and helped spread a little Christmas cheer. None of this would be possible without you — it truly means the world to us ✨🎄

🎄 We’re at Tesco Watton today! 🎄

Today we’ll be in Tesco Watton handing out Christmas hampers to elderly members of our community.

A huge thank you to Tesco Watton, who have kindly donated a member of staff to help spot those who regularly come into store and may appreciate a little Christmas surprise! 🎁

Please come and have a chat with us while you’re shopping, and don’t forget to pop a nomination into our postbox if you have an elderly relative, neighbour or friend who you feel would benefit from a surprise Christmas hamper, delivered by my children and myself ❤️

We’ll also be spreading Christmas cheer with mince pies for the grown-ups and chocolates for the kiddos 🍫🥧

Thank you for helping us make Christmas a little brighter ✨
