Where can I order Tin of Biscuits or like food gift item for delivery in UK from USA
 

Looking for recommendation from anyone who has ordered gift item such as tin of biscuits to be delivered in UK from USA.

Yes I have googled and am confused by the choices.

Thanks for any input.

What American biscuits could you possibly want?

mkingdon2 -- If degas sees this question, he'd respond that he'd want some good old Southern biscuits, made with lots of lard and Martha White flour. Or were you talking about cookies?

I am sure there are others, but one to try is igourmet.com. I don't know what the postage charges to the UK would be but they carry a lot of yummy gift items.

I usually send these because they are baked here in my town but also carried at William Sonoma and Whole Foods

Try using the word cookies, the American word for biscuits, when searching.

dancingdeer is now sold at Selfridges! Why not look into ordering from a UK web site for delivery in the UK?

Sorry - my message was not clear. I am looking to purchase English biscuits or other gift items from a UK website that I can purchase from USA.

Yes I know biscuits are called cookies. I am British currently living in USA.

Thanks for quick replies.

Fortum and Mason has a web site I believe. Havn't gone to it in a long time but was checking it out a while ago for Marmelade. They must have biscuits.

Crabtree and Evelyn cookies and biscuits are very good. Here's the link.

Any US based site would be expensive since it would involve international postage.

Why not just go on any of the UK-based sites like walkersshortbread.com, etc.

Oh, sorry I misunderstood, but our deers are nice. W also have a local place that does charming mice of chocolate if anyone cares.

Try marksandspencer.com and jenners.com

Or maybe it's .co.uk...I don't remember! Also,you might find something in amazon.co.uk

Sandy Brit,

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding your question.
I believe you're asking for recommendations for a UK website from which you can purchase food items and you want to have these items delivered to an address in the UK. For a Christmas gift perhaps?
I can recommend Betty's of Harrogate ( as in Betty's Tea Room) . I ordered little Christmas treats from Betty's last year to have delivered to some friends in England (and the recipients informed me that they were delicious.) The URL is http://www.bettysbypost.co.uk/

I've also ordered food items online from Fortnum and Mason ..and I have ordered wines from Odd Bins.

Judy:

That's my question exactly.

Thank you everyone for your patience and replies. I will check out some of your suggestions.

SandyBrit - where in the U.S. do you live? There may be a British import store in your area where you can buy British products "live". I visit the ones in the Los Angeles area to stock up on scones and Irn Bru.

Walkers Shortbread however can be found in almost any grocery store in the U.S. whic is why I've never bothered buying it when I've visited Scotland. I've even seen it in a Japanese market, go figure!

SandyB,

If there isn't an import store in your area, I can recommend this MA company:

http://www.britishdelights.com/

Their prices are good, shipping is UPS ground and very reasonable. There's a discount for volume ordering.

Last winter, when I did not feel like shopping, I bought on-line from Sainsbury?s, using www.sainsbury.co.uk/. You would use groceries online, then biscuits, then special treats. You have to register to shop, give your friend?s address, and say what two-hour period they will be at home to receive the parcel. It is easier to shop in front of a display of their goods, but in the end you get what you want, delivered to your friend?s address, fresh and good. Examples of the most expensive packets are
Occasions After Dinner Selection, Swiss Chocolate 250g
Premium Chocolate and Cream Biscuits 400g
Sponge Fingers 175g
Their list under biscuits, then everyday treats is good, too.

You can order from Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, and Selfridges.

Daisy54, obxgirl, ben haines and underhill - thanks very much for your most helpful suggestions.

If you want to send more than just biscuits try:

http://www.scottishgourmetfood.co.uk

I sent a selection of smoked products to my sister last Christmas, that was well appreciated. They do made up hampers or you can choose your own selection od foods.

Cigale, I would like to have the contact info for the place that makes charming chocolate mice. I need a gift for a person who loves practical jokes and mice have sometimes figured in these jokes so... Thanks.

I beleive you can order things like that from the BBC America

I often use this company to send cakes to clients:

These are my favourite chocolates:

http://www.charbonnel.co.uk

Hope you find what you're looking for!

The Charbonnel chocolates are great.

Under the heading ".. or like food gift item"- not biscuits/cookies, I would recommend the website www.salmonlady.com.
Etta MacKay is a friend, so this may be a bit of advertising, but I do use her services, too, to order salmon here in the US, pay in US dollars and have it delivered to friends and relatives in the UK and Continental Europe. She sells Scottisch smoked salmon which she imports from her hometown of Tobermory, Isle of Mull. She has her European and UK orders shipped directly from Scotland, rather than re-shipping from the US. So you get a three-for-one stop shopping...UK food product, payment in dollars and shipping within Europe....and the smoked salmon is EXCELLENT, so say my recpients and me. She also ships within the US, she and the Scottish Smoked Salmon Company are located in Maryland.
She is taking orders for Christmas and New Years now for shipment within europe.

Another recommendation for Sainsburys. Our friend in London does work for them and gave me that tip, it worked for us a couple of times!
