For Her
For the lady who has everything, what about a bottle of Bollinger darling? This scrumptious champagne can be bought from King's Fine Foods. This purveyor of the best things you can eat has a fabulous selection of hampers and gift boxes too. For example the Princess Royal Hamper showcases elements of caviar, amedei chocolate and smoked salmon. Prices range from Early Bird Hampers at £49.99 right up to a more extravagant Pantry Hamper at £249.99. The Boudoir Hamper is one of my special favourites – it includes Ayala rosé champagne, Royal Scot flutes, Tuscan chocolates and luxurious candles and bathing oils. A great site for perfect Christmas delights.
