I'm doing a Yorkshire tea hamper for my outlaws. I've put a tea towel on the bottom and put in a tea pot, yorkshire gold tea, yorkshire tealoaf and yorkshire tea biscuits along with a cd from the national trust called time for tea

It's not summer any more - the cheapest of those I've seen last week was £5 at Wilko, and it really looked cheap! They had lovely mugs, though, but for cups and saucers, Woolies was better (IMO).Cogito, ergo sum.0 -
In Woolies yesterday I saw sets of mini jams for £1.49ish. A third of the way way to a cream tea with those!...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

A nice bone china mug that isnt heavy, that's what my MIL asked me to buy the other day, she didnt want a cup & saucer, because the Queen wasnt coming for tea, not yet anyway, :rotfl: and her mug she's using now is getting too heavy.
I've told her I keep forgetting but what I have done is bought the new mug £2.99 from Asda, some Twinning's mixed teabag samplers, some shortbread, some mini mixed jams, all wrapped up on a new lap tray, it came to just over £10, most of it from Asda, the lap tray I made myself from an old tray she was going to throw away, all I did was bought a scrap piece of memory foam from the market, a piece of bright coloured backing paper, scrap piece of matrial that really bright but nice and secret stapled & glued them to the tray, it looks good if I may so myself, it's all wrapped up that was the hardest bit, otherwise I owuld have posted a picture.0 -
I'm doing a tea themed hamper for grandpa.
As far as he's concerned, teabags are the spawn of Satan, so I've bought him some loose leaf tea from Whittards (~£3.75 or 3 for £8) and a fancy tea strainer (£3.75, they do several types).
He's also going to get a nice teacup and saucer, a teapot for one (brill idea, thanks Inkie) and some nice biscuits, as well as some other things which I am yet to come up with lol.
Has anyone seen any old fashioned teacups and saucers that you can buy individually (I don't want 6 or something!)

Don't often go to the store but last time I was in Morrisons they stocked the small Jams.0
