Paddington Bear Suitcase Tin With Orange Marmalade Chocolate Chunk Cookies - 300g

Orange and chocolate is a pairing Britain takes seriously, and marmalade is about as British as a breakfast table gets. Put both in a biscuit tin with Paddington on the front and you have something that feels less like a snack and more like a national habit.

People in Canada go looking for this one for two reasons. Either they grew up with the books in a bedroom somewhere in Britain, or there is a small person in the house who has just met the bear through the films and now has opinions about marmalade. Both are excellent reasons.

It is a 300g tin, which is plenty for a family over a weekend, or one person over a very determined afternoon. Keep the lid on and it sits happily in the cupboard. Once it is empty, the suitcase earns its keep all over again on a shelf or a desk.

For the full Paddington, put it next to a jar of British marmalade and a pot of tea. It also makes a lovely little parcel for anyone who has read the books more times than they will admit.
