Autumn Picnics With Selfridges Christmas Hampers

19th November 2015

With the festive season already upon us I’m feeling all Christmassy and enjoying a few outdoor picnics. Yes I am in complete denial that Winter is fast approaching and I am already thinking about the days being longer after the 21st December. I guess you could say I like to plan ahead!

So, making the most of these Autumn days I decided to have a little picnic and enjoy a few sweet treats from Selfridges Christmas hampers. We had ‘A taste of Christmas‘ gift box which comes in a gorgeous yellow striped hat box. Packaging on point is always a winner for me! My friend Christina was brave enough to join me on my mini outdoor feast, after all she does have a sweet tooth like me. We had the perfect afternoon tea with fruit-filled Christmas loaf cake to yummy chocolate biscuits and tea from Selfridges’ new festive spice collection. You could say it was the perfect trio of festive flavours to brighten our day and get us in the Holiday mood!

So give a girl cake, biscuits, tea, a girly chat and it should be enough to bring on some festive cheer!

    Love that stripe-y box and totally agree, I’m a complete sucker for pretty packaging. Also rather loving those pretty teacups! Looks like a lovely way to spend an autumn day (although not today as it’s currently pissing down lol) 😉 Happy Weekend Arianna! xx

    You chose a lovely day for an autumn picnic. The colours of the fallen leaves are stunning. Wouldn’t mind a nibble on that hamper. Looks delicious!

    This makes me so hungry. Think you are very brave to be outside – we have lots of rain here! I’m inspired though, next bright sunny day – I’m going to head out for a walk and pack a picnic.

      yeah wasn’t as cold – it’s all changed now but makes such a difference sitting outside when the sun is shining 😉
