The Odds Don’t Lie: You’re Crafting a Totally Unique Gift

Why Every Norfolk Hamper You Create Is One of a Kind

At The Norfolk Deli, we’ve been proudly sending out our food hampers across the UK — and beyond — for years. From the Outer Hebrides to New Zealand, our Norfolk-made produce has made its way to friends, families, colleagues, and customers across the globe.

While we’ve lovingly curated a range of themed hampers like the “Ode to Norfolk” and “Norfolk Orchards”, the real magic happens when customers choose to build their own hamper. These bespoke boxes aren’t just thoughtful gifts — they’re completely unique. Quite literally.

One weekend, while picking, wrapping, and packing a series of customer-created hampers, we found ourselves wondering: What are the chances of two people ever creating the exact same hamper from scratch?

So, we did the maths.

We stock around 1,000 different products on our website — from Norfolk chutneys and artisan cheeses to handmade chocolates, craft spirits, and more. Most custom hampers contain around five items. When you calculate the combinations, the odds of two people randomly choosing the same five items from our range comes out to a mind-boggling:

8,250,291,250,200 to 1.

Yes, that’s over 8 trillion to one.

And if you add more than five items? The chances of duplication vanish into mathematical insignificance. In other words, when you create a Norfolk Hamper on our website, you’re not just gifting great food — you’re gifting a one-of-a-kind experience, handcrafted with thought, taste, and love.

Even better, nearly everything we stock is made right here in Norfolk — meaning your hamper doesn’t just support small businesses, it tells the story of our region’s rich food culture.
