Need to send something nice to my Aunt .. any suggestions?

Peaches, 2 July, 2009 at 15:38 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 8

She's late 70s, and appreciates edible goodies rather than ornaments or nick-naks

I've been searching and searching and can't find anything nice to send to her. Budget around 25 squid.

I do find it offensive being offered 9 cookies for that price .. what are they made of .. caviar?? <? at the thought of fish-flavoured cookies>

Does anyone have any trusted, reliable sites they buy from which give a reasonable basket for the money?

?

    Meg Rivers cakes- not cheap but definitely worth it.

    Having a look now KN, thanks for that.

    Far better in price .. 20 portions of shortbread for 6 pounds. Another site wanted 25 pounds for 9 cookies! Daylight robbery

    Dammit

    What I omitted to say was I need a site that will deliver tomorrow or Saturday.

    Buggernations .. again, I've left it to the last minute ?

    Meg Rivers only deliver M-F with next day delivery if ordered before 10 am day before (does it count if it's before 10 am here in Houston?!)

    Haaayyulp!

    Maybe a bit predictable but https://www.hotelchocolat.com/uk?cid=XSQWIPLTLR9YBSEPBS46WRN1QSU502ID

    Get a box or mix and match with some nice treats? I love their chocolate covered fruit ?
