About Us
Basalt and Oak
At Basalt and Oak, we celebrate the best of Northern Ireland’s local produce, curating beautiful hampers, thoughtful artisan gifts, and seasonal treasures that bring a true taste of home to every doorstep.
From gourmet foods and handmade crafts to wellness treats and keepsakes, every item is chosen with care to showcase the talent and passion of local makers across the Causeway Coast and Glens. Whether you're searching for the perfect Northern Ireland hamper, a unique Irish gift, or simply want to shop local, you're in the right place.
Basalt and Oak is proudly delivered by Seasons of the Glens CIC, a social enterprise dedicated to supporting local communities, small producers, and rural revitalisation. What makes us truly different? All surplus profits from Basalt and Oak are donated to NNCG, a Northern Ireland charity that runs community markets, supports undercapitalised entrepreneurs, and provides lifelines for individuals facing isolation, poverty, or hardship.
