About Paddington Bear Shaped Tin With Shortbread Biscuits
About Paddington Bear Shaped Tin With Shortbread Biscuits
The shortbread lasts about a day. The tin stays on the shelf for twenty years. Everyone knows which one they really bought it for.
The Paddington Bear Shaped Tin With Shortbread Biscuits is exactly that: the bear from Paddington Station, in tin form, with shortbread inside.
If you grew up with the books, the wobbly old telly series or the films, you already know him. Polite, hopeful, permanently in some sort of trouble. He came a long way to find a home in a new country, which might ring a bell for a few people reading this.
Biscuits in the bear. Bear on the mantelpiece. Nobody loses.
Frequently asked questions about Paddington Bear Shaped Tin With Shortbread Biscuits
Q: Is this the UK version?
A: Yes. It is the British tin with British shortbread, and we ship it to you from within Canada.
Q: How much shortbread is in the tin?
A: 100g, so it is a small tin and more keepsake than feast. The shortbread is the opening act; the bear is staying.
Q: Is it a good gift?
A: Very. It suits anyone who loves Paddington or misses London, and the tin outlasts the biscuits by a decade or two.
More about Paddington Bear Shaped Tin With Shortbread Biscuits
Shortbread is the biscuit Britain keeps for best. Plain, crumbly, the one that comes out when somebody important is due round. Put it in a tin shaped like a London institution and you have the sort of thing every gift shop near a British railway station has sold for years.
In Canada, people look for this one for a few reasons. You remember Paddington from your own childhood. A small person in your house has just discovered the films and asks about him daily. Or a godchild needs a present that is a bit of London without anyone getting on a plane.
It is a small tin with 100g of shortbread inside, so think a handful of biscuits rather than a party. Keep the lid on and it sits happily in the cupboard. Once the biscuits are gone, the tin starts its real career: buttons, pencils, hair clips, the spare key nobody can ever find.
Most people add a jar of marmalade and a box of proper tea. Paddington would insist on the marmalade, and it seems rude to argue with him.
