As we count down to the momentous occasion of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, which marks 70 years on the throne this June - Marks and Spencer have naturally given us the goods to make sure our parties and festivities go off with a bang!
No matter how you’re celebrating the two-day extravaganza, M&S have launched some incredible items - from commemorative tins of delicious biscuits to gin-based liquors, bedding, bunting and even an Afternoon Tea!
Yes what’s more quintessentially British than toasting the Queen with a traditional Afternoon Tea? And M&S have two options that have made our mouth water already!
Starting with the Afternoon Tea Letterbox Gift, priced at £20. Treat someone to a delicious afternoon tea. They'll enjoy refreshing Assam tea with a delicious selection of cake bars, Viennese fingers - and those all important shortbread biscuits. It’s the perfect gift to send to a parent, grandparent, best friend or even yourself to enjoy in the garden.
Now should you be celebrating with others, why not treat yourself and them to the Ultimate Afternoon Tea Selection, priced at £20 also. This treat box contains a delicious selection of cakes, biscuits and sweet treats, along with classic ground coffee and Red label tea - M&S really have got everything you need for the ultimate coffee morning.
Commemorative tins are quite the collectable, and this year M&S has launched not one, not two, but three to mark the occasion. Two red, white and blue beauties and a Rotating Musical Shortbread Selection Tin that plays special commemorative tune. Priced at £5 and £8 respectively, you can’t go wrong.
To make sure your house fit for a Queen, why not decorate it with the Union Jack Jubilee Bunting? Priced at just £6, this Union Jack bunting will provide a festive backdrop to your Jubilee celebrations! It’s made from pure cotton, with a pretty floral design on the flags. The bunting measures three metres long with 20 flags, and 15cm ties at each end! Great for fences, above mirrors, bedrooms, kitchens… Wherever you want to show your pride!
One item that’s melted our heart this morning in particular is the Cotton Blend Queen's Guard Bedding Set. Priced from £17.50, now you too can ensure your bedding is fit for a king or queen with this Jubilee themed bedding set! Crafted from a soft, breathable cotton blend, it features a Queen's Guard repeat pattern on the front, and a blue spotty reverse. This set is completed with a subtle button fastening - so cute!
