Fox's Favourites Where'S My Elf - 100g

Fox's Favourites is the name on the biscuit tin at a great many British Christmases, the one that comes out after dinner and is still being picked through on Boxing Day. This elf box takes that familiar name and shrinks it down for the younger end of the family.

People in Canada go looking for it because the elf is already part of December in a lot of homes here. Giving it a British biscuit to guard is a small way of keeping a UK Christmas going when home is a long flight away.

The box holds 100g, so it is a stocking filler rather than a centrepiece. Keep it sealed in a cool, dry cupboard until it is needed, then leave it wherever the elf has decided to turn up that morning. It also makes a decent hiding spot of its own.

For the grown-ups, a full Fox's tin is the natural partner, along with a pot of proper British tea. Plenty of people add a UK selection box and call the stocking done.
