Believe it or not, it really is time to start thinking about Christmas, and we have some ideas to get you in the festive mood particularly if you are shopping for presents online this year or want to have home delivery.

Put the kettle on...

When you’re worn out with Christmas shopping, settle down to a nice cup of Twinings Christmas Tea, one of their new festive flavours, combining full-bodied black tea from Assam with cinnamon and cloves, to create a perfect blend for a cold afternoon. There are two more flavours completing a set of three winter tin caddies, indulgent Vanilla Chai, and Warming Winter Infusion

All three teas are available in 100g loose tea caddies at Waitrose, Ocado and Twinings online. The range is also available in tea bag caddies from Tesco nationwide. For your local stockist visit Twinings

It can also be used to keep milk; cream and custard cool as well!
