Say it with biscuits



Love it or hate it, the shops are blaring out Christmas music classics and decorations are stating to appear, so I guess the festive season is officially upon us. With this starts the frenzy of gift shopping and what to buy all those irritatingly difficult people in your lives.

Although I happen to be one of those difficult particular people, I loved these super cute cookies from Inteflora which are part of their Christmas Hamper range. Perfect if you want to send something other than flowers or one of those poinsettia plants that I seem to be able to kill within minutes of receiving one.

Presented in a sweet little tin, the packaging and branding were right up my street even before I sank my teeth in. The beautifully detailed biscuits were made from simple, (real) vanilla dough and despite being quite sweet with all of the icing on top, I managed to make very short work of them, allowing just a single biscuit to be eaten by someone else (Christmas the time for giving? Nah!).



Hand baked and gorgeously iced by Biscuiteers, they would make an ideal gift for even the Scroogiest of people. Cleverly, each biscuit was stuck with a little blob of icing to the tray so they travel very well.

Biscuiteers Christmas Biscuit Tin available from Interflora, £24.99

Many thanks to Interflora for sending me this tin for review purposes.

  2. These actually dont look bad. I thought they were going to be a bit naff when I heard about these - but they actually look like something worth sending. £25 though, seems quite expensive. worth the money do you think Fran?

  3. Jan - Agreed. Anyone want to send me any more, you know the address!

    Dan - £25 is on the pricey side but image how long it would take to ice these at home! For a gift I think they are worth it as the whole package is really nice. Beats a bunch of flowers which you would spend around £25 on anyway. Me like.

  4. If I iced them at home - I dread to think what they'd look like. If you reckon they're worth the moolah, then I respect your judgement Fran. Good Work...errr...eating all the biscuits
