Wine and Cake Delivery

57 replies

BikeRunSki · 16/09/2020 19:21

I want to send my friend a hamper/box gift delivery that just has wine and cake in it. Nothing else. It’s to tie in with a movie reference, I am also getting her the screenplay.

She now lives 300 miles away, so I can’t do it myself.

I can find services to deliver wine; wine and cheese; Prosecco and chocolate and much bigger hampers, but to have the significance I want it to, I just want “Cake, and the finest wines known to humanity”.

Anyone know anywhere I can order this combo?

Got it in one @Nosnogginginthekitchen. 😊I might also include a tube of Ralgex.

And a toy cuddly rabbit with 'here, hare, here' on it.

Can you find a cake maker local to her that will deliver? You could try asking them to deliver a bottle of wine (which you obv pay for!) too.

@iklboo, I’ve sent that (budget is fine btw), but it’s Prosecco. I’m really after red wine. It’s a bit more Withnail. And a lot more my friend!

@Montybojangles, I’ve seen that one too. Again, pink sparkly wine doesn’t quite hit the mark.

But @iklboo and @Montybojangles, thank you for looking.

“Seen that”, not “sent that”. Sorry. Could be confusing.

If you were able to give any clues about location, you might find a willing MNer to do the delivery for you. If your friend lives in London, I'll consider it.

Withnail is one of my all-time favourite films.

That is a great plan @Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g!

Unfortunately not London, but Portsmouth.

I'd look for a naice deli near her and ask them to put a hamper up to your specifications. We have one on our high street that will do anything you like - my godmother rang them and had a cheese hamper put together with crackers, grapes and berries for my mum's birthday and they delivered the morning of her birthday.

I get it now you say it but how the hell did you get that so quickly?? I know that film so well and it didn't even occur to me!

Sorry, I'm no help op, but I also adore that film a lot!

You can buy a fruit cake and a bottle of wine online from Fortnum & Mason.

That might be the one @iklboo. I’m wondering if the cheese might distract from the withnailiness.

Harvey Nichols? You can make up your own box.

I reckon Parade Tea Rooms might be able to sort you out. They do the best cakes in the city and they're licenced so should have wine too

Send her an Ocado delivery of the cake and wine of your choice, minimum spend £40 plus delivery. Should have a good choice of fine wine, and a selection of cakes.
