If you're looking for a way to mark an important occasion for a very special person in your life, or a very special couple, why not consider an afternoon tea for two?
You can easily order an afternoon tea full of delicious foods and drinks they're sure to adore.
Let’s explore all the occasions when an afternoon tea by post could be the perfect gifting solution.
Helping a good friend to feel better
An unforgettable get well soon gift
If a good friend has been unwell, it can be really difficult to know what to do to help or make them feel better.
However, when they are on the mend and have their appetite back, why not surprise them with an afternoon tea for two – not just nearby, but in the comfort of their own home.
We all know that sometimes we don’t feel up for getting out and about, but would still like some company. This is why an afternoon tea experience at their house can work so well as a thoughtful get well soon gift.
Arrive at their house laden with everything prepared so they don't have to lift a finger.
If they feel well enough, you can set the table, either inside or outside, and enjoy some much needed treats, as well as offering some much needed company and friendship.
If they are still undergoing treatment, or need rest as part of their recovery, then the afternoon tea experience can easily be set up on a tray and delivered to their bedside. Make space on the bedside table, cover the bed with a table cloth and pull up a chair. In the comfort of their bedroom, they can still enjoy great company, delicious scones, jam, cream and more whilst convalescing.
Marking an anniversary in style
A special afternoon tea hamper for a special couple
Consider having an afternoon tea delivered to a very special couple in your life, to mark their next wedding anniversary. This is a wonderful idea for your parents, grandparents or a special aunty and uncle (especially those ones who aren’t ‘officially’ related, but of course, that doesn’t matter).
Without having to leave home, send them everything they need for a really special anniversary afternoon tea treat. They'll share some great quality afternoon tea, some fresh scones and clotted cream, as well as the best quality strawberry jam.
Sending a special surprise to a new home
A gratefully received house warming gift every time
Moving house is exhausting. Being in a new place can be daunting.
Send comfort, love and best wishes with an afternoon tea for two, delivered directly to their brand new front door. If a new couple are moving, give them something to enjoy whilst they take a break from all of the unpacking (and arguing about what goes where!).
When two friends get on the housing ladder, an afternoon tea is a great way to give them a joint gift that they can share together. Give them a good excuse to put their feet up and start enjoying their new home.
Or perhaps, if a good friend or relative is moving out on their own, and you are lucky enough to be local, turn up on their door with a housewarming gift that you can savour together (alongside a good dose of offering to help with the sorting and cleaning in return).
Make a house a home with a delightful afternoon tea for two.
Celebrating a colleague or co-worker
In work, at home or out together for an afternoon tea
Are you lucky enough to have a colleague, co-worker or even an employee, who is so much more than someone you work with?
Nurture your friendship and show how much you care with a very special appreciation gift.
An afternoon tea for two is the perfect activity to do together outside of work, or even as part of an extended lunch break.
Make sure there are plenty of tasty treats you both love.
Did you know we offer a Gentleman’s Tea Hamper, a Gin Lover’s Cream Tea Hamper and Luxury Afternoon Tea Hamper with Prosecco – so that you can send an afternoon tea for two by post filled with items you know they’ll love.
Spending a birthday doing something a bit different
Enjoy quality time together with an afternoon tea experience
Last but not least, an afternoon tea for 2 is simply the perfect excuse to spend some quality time together. Have a good catch up and a natter over triangle sandwiches, great tasting cake and glass of fizz. What more could you need?
Show a special friend or partner how much they mean to you by celebrating their birthday enjoying some great food together and indulging a little.
Have everything you need delivered to your door. Then, get out your finest China, the tiered plate and your favourite teapot… and invite them over for a special afternoon birthday surprise.
If you can’t be together on their birthday, why not have the afternoon tea posted directly to them to enjoy – show you are thinking of them, even when you can’t be together.
