Valentine's Day Sparkling Tea Breakfast Box
A delicious breakfast in bed is one of Valentine's Day's classic treats and yet works magic every time. However, for breakfast in bed to occur, one has to wake up early and spend quality time in the kitchen, which does not sound too enjoyable. Luxury department store Fortnum & Mason has a solution for that.
You can order a splendid breakfast box delivered straight to your door with everything you need for a romantic breakfast in bed carefully packed. For the morning meal main, you'll have smoked salmon with artisanal seeded sourdough, some sides and spreads. A breakfast tea blend and special ground coffee are also included in the box, along with a bottle of non-alcoholic Rosé Sparkling Tea.
Price: £115
