Furthermore, Harrods has also teamed up with other luxury brands to create a variety of divers hampers, each with their own special touch. Among these is the Ladurée Hat Box Hamper, priced at £195, featuring a bottle of Ladurée’s brut rosé champagne, Ladurée Blend Tea from Sri Lanka and China blended with citrus, flowers and vanilla, and plenty of Ladurée chocolates.
There is also the East India Company Emperor’s Bequest Hamper, priced at £1,500, which comprises fine teas and coffees, pantry items and fine chocolates. Gift accessories include a gold-coloured Japanese tea pot with matching tea cups and two scented luxury candles.
