Paddington Bear Tin With Marmalade Cookies, Breakfast Tea & Vegan Jelly Sweets - 100g

Marmalade and a cup of tea are about as British as breakfast gets, and no one has done more for marmalade than a small bear in a duffle coat. Paddington made it a personality trait. This tin is that idea in edible form.

People in Canada go looking for it for two reasons. Either there is a small person in the family with a British grandparent and a Paddington habit, or the grown-up buying it read the books under the covers with a torch and never quite got over it. Both are valid. Nobody needs to know which one you are.

It is a small 100g tin, so it sits on a shelf without fuss, posts on easily and is the right size to hand over without a speech. Keep it somewhere cool and dry with the lid on. Open it with a pot of tea and the hard stare at the ready for anyone reaching for the last cookie.

It goes nicely alongside a jar of marmalade and a box of proper British teabags, if you want to build a whole Paddington breakfast around it. Sandwich under the hat optional.
