Our love for Marks and Spencer is never ending - from tasty treats to cheap alcohol and innovative new food ideas. And just when that wasn’t enough, they’ve only gone and outdone themselves.
If you’ve been unfortunate to celebrate a birthday during lockdown, we can only send our sincere apologies. If yours is coming up - then do we have the gift for you that's about to make it so much better.
M&S is coming to your rescue as they now ship a range of delicious cakes to your home - or even a friends as a surprise, including a Colin the Caterpillar cake.
The nation’s favourite, and rumoured to be the cake of choice of the Beckham’s, will set you back £20 but also comes with added extras to bring a smile to anyone’s face this lockdown.
The Colin the Caterpillar gift bag contains; a Colin cake, vegetarian Colin the Caterpillar gummy sweets and even, a foil balloon - all delivered in a swish M&S tote bag. We think this will come in handy for your next weekly shop too.
So if you know anyone who’s about to spend their special day, self-isolating away from loved ones then why not send them the happy face of Colin, home-delivered to their door.
And it’s not just caterpillar Colin you can have delivered - you can say happy birthday in style with a range of cakes from M&S including a four-layered cake with candles for £15 or for those who deserve an extra treat, you can send the same cake without candles but instead, a bottle of sparkling rosé for £30. This cake is filled with four different colours of sponge inside and sprinkles around the edge.
Or what about a chocolate birthday cake on a budget? It even comes with candles and will set you back just £10. This cake features white and milk chocolate shavings around the edge. Even if it’s not your birthday, is it just us or are you considering buying one just for a treat? Because we are.
For someone who might be celebrating a big birthday or needs an extra special treat, why not send them the ‘ Happy Birthday Surprise Gift Box ’ - containing a bottle of Casa di Amello Prosecco, chocolate fudge cake, assorted box of Swiss chocolates and Happy Birthday bunting.
If you want to send more than cakes, there’s a whole host of gift ideas that will really make someone’s day including the Ivy Treat Selection gift bag - containing oatcakes, chocolate, nuts, crisps, chutney, mints and more.
The Rose Plant with Luxury Gold Tea and All Butter Shortbread biscuits for £25, Belgian biscuit selection, £6 and afternoon tea hampers - one called the ‘Kensington’ at £40 and one called the ‘Mayfair’, £50, which contains bubbles, chocolate gift box and so much more.
These are all available for delivery now and if you spend £50 on hampers, you can get free nominated day delivery.
