Christmas gift for international delivery

Hi I'm looking for any ideas on a Christmas gift that can be delivered to HK (unfortunately alcohol is a no go due to customs). Last year I sent a lovely box of Biscuiteers biscuits which were well received, looking for something similar - something they wouldn't buy for themselves and which feels like a treat. Any ideas?

It's for my brother and his wife, early 30s. In rented accommodation in HK, so prefer something consumable. Budget flexible but around £50.

Thanks!

Do they drink coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Whittard does nice selection boxes.

I'm in a similar situation, but I find the postage very expensive. How much do you pay and who do you use? I've got round it so far by buying things from HK vendors and getting it delivered, or vouchers. I think the Mandarin Oriental Hotel one was the best. Dinning there is ridiculously expensive, but the cake shop is good for a treat.

I think Debenhams often do free shipping.
M&S and/or John Lewis often do around Christmas.
I'd look for somewhere that will deliver direct at a sensible price, and see what they offer.

It wouldnt be packaged beautifully, but Britishcornershop would send all sorts of Xmas goodies.

Or, I'm 99% certain M&S have stores in HK. Can you get something delivered locally?

@LittleJules59 I only did it with Biscuiteers last year. Tin of biscuits costs £35-50 depending on size and shipping is about £13 I think. Yes, expensive for a box of biscuits but it's a lovely treat and I don't think it's the sort of thing they could buy in HK.

You could get something (chocolates, cakes etc.) delivered from the Peninsula Hotel Boutique.

I have a lot of relatives abroad and send Bettys or Fortnum items - expensive but a really British treat for Xmas.

F&M have a branch in Hong Kong, together with a nice restaurant etc. I wonder if the OP could order a gift voucher for afternoon tea or similar for their 181 restaurant?
