Thank you, whoever sent me an amazing The Ration Room Hamper to my address today, I am literally gobsmacked! Whoever you are, this was very thoughtful and exceptionally generous, a beautiful gift indeed for someone obsessed with WW2 rationing and the home front!

Honestly, thank you so much, this has made my day xxxx C

Here is an excerpt from the website (which I never knew existed until today!!!)

In the heart of Wrexham, Apra Roberts and Beth Cole, two enterprising women with a passion for history, joined forces to give you a taste of the past like never before. Together, they birthed “The Ration Room”, a haven for all who yearn for the echoes of yesteryears and the spirit of wartime Britain.

Step into The Ration Room, a portal to the epoch of the ’40s, where wartime camaraderie and British resilience prevailed. Apra and Beth, captivated by the allure of World War II, have meticulously curated a trove of authentic memorabilia that transcends time.

Our shelves yearn with treasures of an era long past. Behold the humble cardboard gas mask box, a relic of a time when every citizen was armed with fortitude and a trusty mask. Indulge your sweet tooth with our ration-style chocolate, crafted to perfection using recipes from an era when sugar was scarce but the spirit was sweet.
