christmas parcel for Uncle Jack

[hativity]

I'd like to send my uncle something via the internet. (Christmas cake or similar, gift wrapped) Waitrose didn't actually have anything I think he would have liked, Tesco's don't seem to do gift delivery. Any other ideas? Antone used a company that specialises in doing this? am a bit reluctant to pick one at random off teh internet

Thorntons?

Amazon is the old standby, but best to choose something that's fairly mainstream and likely to be in stock (showing 24hr dispatch).

Hotel Chocolat do this and put in a card with a personalised message on.

did Amazon last year - very difficult to choose for. Thorntons and Hotel Chocolat both look lovely but he's a dour Yorkshireman much more likely to appreciate a good fruit cake or a parcel of posh tea and jam than chocolate.

Whittards? Lakeland?

Marks and Sparks?

just found a £999 hamper at M&S!!!!! lots of lovely suggestions - thanks, still not finding a Christmas cake - which is what I think he'd like best. any more?

erm ... john lewis?

You're a tough customer, aren't you

Haven't used them but: Hampers Express ?

Harrods?

What's your budget? John Lewis do a nice Duchy Originals Christmas Hamper here

Their hampers under £41 look quite impressive actually.

Thanks Georgina. I tried Harrods but abandoned it as you didn';t seem to be able to send a message. I've actually found jsut what I wanted - from Betty's. Not sure if you've heard of Betty's but it's a legendary tea shop in Yorkshire - they deliver a lovely fuit cake for £20 odd, which is just right.

Fab Sorry I wasn't any help, but glad you found what you wanted
