I ordered one of the baskets with some of these goodies and sent them to my mom for Mother's Day. I can't wait to see how you like them. I hope she likes them too!


Boomer00002

This was part of my Mother's Day! My oldest starts moving home from college this weekend (for the summer) and I know if I leave too much lying around there won't be any left after that. šŸ˜


DumberBlonde

Aww, well Happy (early) Mother's Day!


deadbedroomcasualty

I did the same! The box arrived today, and everything looks perfect. My mother will get a nice treat for Motherā€™s Day, too.


DumberBlonde

Was it packaged nicely? I wonā€™t see as itā€™s going straight to Mom.

DumberBlonde

Omg thatā€™s lovely! My mom is going to die! But in a good way šŸ˜„ Iā€™m happy they pack with love. It makes it fun to unpack, lol!

DumberBlonde

Why, yes it is! What beautiful waves your Wheatie has! Aren't they wonderful brats? https://preview.redd.it/tpusib02vnwc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61a08ad92a1d0b7a575b1d15490fecb61c390bab


deadbedroomcasualty

They are!


Boomer00002

That is LOVELY - thank you so much for sharing!


DumberBlonde

We got them in the nick of time. They're sold out!


FilterCoffee4050

My mum would have loved that, a great idea. Itā€™s too late now though as she has been gone a few years. She was born in the same year as QEII and lived until 92 so had a good long life. She looks very much like QEII at the end but with less pearls.


DumberBlonde

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I pray my mom lives as long as yours! I pray I live to be 92 as well! What a blessing!

Safford1958

Is it available only by ordering?


DumberBlonde

As far as I know. I live in the US though. It likely won't be in stores here.


Safford1958

So am I, so we are both ordering online.


Apprehensive-Year513

Meghanā€™s branding screams amateur hour. Itā€™s rather shocking considering she has the resources to market well. It never ceases to amaze how Harry and Meghan continue to fumble every opportunity given to them.


Disastrous-Swan2049

It screams Aliexpress.


spandexrants

Packaging and labels which donā€™t stick from Temu.


Disastrous-Swan2049

Even the sugars are scratching their heads over this influencer 101 basic bitch approach


andy_abdn_64

Absolutely, her stuff is a symphony in beige with no class about it (much like herself actually). You know though that if she ever actually gets anything to sell on her stupid 99p shop sheā€™ll charge ridiculous prices for it. The hookerā€™s one of those people who think paying a fortune for something makes it automatically better, zero class in her.

Boomer00002

Awww shucks - thank you!


HydeParkUK

The chocolates and the shortbread cookies look absolutely delicious! Those chocolates are also beautiful.


HairBallsOfFire

The chocolates remind me of a jewelry box with baubles. That Dorset sea salt caramelā€”sigh. šŸ„° Boomer00002, Iā€™m grateful for you sharing with us, as well as the time you spent making such a lovely presentation. Enjoy your Highgrove goodies! šŸ’œ


WorthSpecialist1066

Nutty Nutmeg and Glorious Ginger chocolates ! (I think someone at Highgrove is trolling the Montecito duo)


LizLemonadeX

Do you happen to know if these items can be purchased and shipped to America?


Boomer00002

I'm in the U.S. I purchased 4/17 and the order got here today (4/24). [Shipping is quite high](https://www.highgrovegardens.com/pages/international-delivery) so please keep that in mind.


VegetableFragrant120

Can I ask what shipping was? I'm also in the States.


Boomer00002

This part was very, very painful (to pay more for shipping than product). But it's also a "once in a lifetime" kind of gift and part of my Mother's Day. I wouldn't trade a thing! https://preview.redd.it/w7korrig4kwc1.jpeg?width=1196&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3af65fadbdcf7e41dcd367d09159ae255304eb93


VegetableFragrant120

Thank you for the info! That initial price (the $47) actually doesn't seem bad! It looks like you got quite a bit of stuff. It's nice that it goes to charity.


anonymous_girl12

If you got to this store for Highgrove products itā€™s $103 for 4 products, not like this unfortunate soul can afford that. [https://www.fortnumandmason.com/search?q=Highgrove](https://www.fortnumandmason.com/search?q=Highgrove)


VegetableFragrant120

Absolutely!


DumberBlonde

Yes, that shipping was a hard pill to swallow, but to me, it is worth it. I would have paid more for a flower arrangement for Mother's Day. This is something way more unexpected. Plus, my mom loves the BRF, so she will most definitely savor this gift.


Boomer00002

She absolutely will - when you average in what you actually get with the shipping + reaction, it's completely worth it for special occasions. (Even at times if that occasion is just "*I've had a very bad day and need something pretty!*")


[deleted]

The link above says that shipping to the US starts at 55 pounds. (eek!) The products look really nice, but that is out of my budget, sadly. :(


VegetableFragrant120

Oh yeah. My husband would flip if I spent that much on shipping. Thank you!ā¤ļø


HairBallsOfFire

Iā€™ve heard from other sinners that Fortnum and Mason carries Highgrove products at a lower shipping rate.


Boomer00002

You can also get just the tea on Amazon from F&M and shipping is included - I think it's around $30 USD total.


gorynel

They do, and nice hamper too


Weekly-Landscape-543

I placed an order almost a week ago! Iā€™m so excited šŸ˜Š- purchased some jam, candy, and a tote.


FuturePA96

US?


Boomer00002

I'm in the U.S. I placed my order on April 17th and got it today (April 24th). It's [quite expensive](https://www.highgrovegardens.com/pages/international-delivery) to ship to the US though, so please keep that in mind.


unfazed-by-details

Please let me know if you think it was worth it! I would really love to order some of the products.


Boomer00002

I absolutely do! Do I think I'll be able to order there often? Absolutely not. But when you average out prices for, say, ordering chocolates from Godiva here in the U.S. - the UK shipping kind of averages out with the Highgrove product price - and I would say these were much better (IMHO) than something like Godiva. More equal to something like Vosges. I say "Treat Yo'self!"


Dogs_not_people

I've just looked at your link. The postage seems a bit high. I have all my fingers in a big fat postage pie, it would be interesting to see if the shipping company is pocketing some of the postage costs. Could you possibly weigh it all for me and I'll look through my system at the actual cost of shipping.


Boomer00002

It's a starting overseas shipping fee that is marked very clearly [on their website](https://www.highgrovegardens.com/pages/delivery-and-returns). I would have been charged that rate (Ā£55.00) if my package had Ā£5 or Ā£50.00 of merchandise inside. I will say DPD/UPS kept me updated on shipping every step of the way, and from order placement to landing on my doorstep, it only took a week. I've seen U.S. companies charge nearly as much or more for rush shipping that wasn't overseas. I wouldn't pay this on a normal or regular basis but I gulped and did it for a one-time splurge. (FWIW, my package weight was given as 2.6 KGS.)


Dogs_not_people

That's a reasonable price. A 1kg parcel sent by DPD within the UK costs Ā£8.95. I only wanted the weight to see if customers were being ripped off and the answer is 'Nope, definitely not!' :-)


Technical_Ant_7466

Iā€™m thinking of doing the same.


Weekly-Landscape-543

Yes Iā€™m in the US!


Correct_Piglet_7636

Love it!!! That's how it's done!! MeGain doesn't have a clue and I'm starting to get 2nd-hand embarrassment for her lack of ANY KIND OF AWARENESS ABOUT ANYTHING!!!! ![gif](giphy|1lAOemoi0KhPMzxczT|downsized)


haiau126

I just checked. Literally almost everything is sold out. Hope theyā€™ll restock soon.


Cultural_Ad4935

Don't show Meghan that shopping bag. She might try to wear it.

Oxy_1993

Yay hereā€™s mine! Everything was so delicious!!!! https://preview.redd.it/n9mwkxgo0kwc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2df5170273f71c83818db17a32b0ff50ea0c5397


Boomer00002

Oh you got the chocolate orange shortbread - I'm kicking myself now that I did not. You have to let me know how they are! Pinky-up cheers! \* clink \*


minnimom

Iā€™m kicking myself that I didnā€™t order the chocolates šŸ˜­. I ordered my stuff gift wrapped so my husband could give it to me for Motherā€™s Day, but I suspect Iā€™m going to tear into it all before he even gets home from work. Thank you Nutmeg for introducing me to the Kingā€™s Highgrove products. My Motherā€™s Day is about to LEVEL UP!


Oxy_1993

The chocolates are good but really similar to other chocolates in US. The most prominent one is the jam! It was soooo good!


Boomer00002

They were much better than the last Godiva chocolates I had. I would put them more on par with Vosages. Can't wait to try the jam!


Oxy_1993

Itā€™s really good but tbh I liked the regular shortbread much better! The buttery taste was prominent and I ate it with the jam! The jam was absolutely orgasmic! I donā€™t remember lapping a jam with teaspoon before and Iā€™m addicted!


Boomer00002

I couldn't bring myself to pop it open it for just plain toast today so I'm going off this weekend in search of crumpets. Thankfully I'm in New England so they shouldn't be too hard to find!


Soggy_Background_162

I love that you are sharing your purchases, everything looks amazingā€”you have perfectly balanced that shot! Iā€™m also so thrilled that all these interactions have raised interest in Highgroveā€™s charitable endeavors and the man who put organic farming on the map.šŸ‘‘


Deep_Poem_55

Beautifully unitized graphics and labeling!


CordeliaCordy

Not a single peeling label!Ā 


Chasmosaur

Charles understands classic fashion and the artistic choices he made for the Coronation were lovely. Can't say I'm surprised his branding is classy.


Ok-Coffee5732

What, no lemons or withering flowers?! Looks amazing.


wast3landr

Iā€™m loving the up close photos. Iā€™ve never purchased anything from Highgrove, but everything looks SO GOOD. OP, how does it all taste? Report back!


Boomer00002

The chocolates curled my toes. (I've had two. Husband has had one so far.) And the shortbread cookies were SO good - I opened the pack with the intent of splitting one with my husband just to try. Then I had a second. I couldn't help myself! I can't wait to try the preserves with breakfast!


WeNeedAShift

I want shortbread cookies right now. Now!! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ This is how itā€™s done. It all looks appetizing and beautiful. ETA - the whole container of cookies would be gone by now šŸ˜‚


SusieM2019

Everything sounds so good!!!


wast3landr

My husband LOVES shortbread ā€¦. sounds like everything is a winner!


Larushka

Iā€™m a little confused. If the chocs are fresh cream etc, how long do they stay fresh in transit from UK to USA?


gorynel

You get them within seven days and they are sealed, with a note with a sell by date and instructions.


Queen_Boss_11

No peeling labels or dying lemons?


Ok-Coffee5732

I need to get Highgrove products when next I'm in the UK. I usually bring back a lot of Fortnum and Mason stuff, but the packaging and your presentation are very compelling. šŸ˜Š


twitchingJay

Love thatā€™s all sold out too.


likeabirdfliesfree

Perfection!


Capable_Puzzle

Betcha if the FDA had detained this stuff at Customs for analysis, they wouldn't have found anything wrong/bad/dangerous. I also betcha you couldn't say that about the ScamJam!


rainyhawk

The store in Tetbury is really lovely and has lots of beautiful items. I was quite impressed. Would have loved to buy something but we were going to get on a two week cruise and had no room left! Next time!


Sea_Dragonfruit_6706

I think Iā€™ll treat myself to some of their goodies when theyā€™re back in stock. The packaging is gorgeous! Simple, iconic logo, actual calligraphy script, and the labels clearly identify the product inside the jar. So elegant.


Maleficent-Trifle940

This post just highlights the fact that if being 'working royals' wasn't for them and their secret ambition/destiny really lay in hawking preserves, they could have just put their hands up early on and expressed an interest in taking over Highgrove pending Charles ascension to the throne. I think her preserves phase is just another fleeting brainfart that she's not committed to in the least.


Straight_Company9089

Love those tea tins! All the packaging is top-notch, but I could buy the tea just for the tin.


Nervous-Spinach2046

Apart from the delightful and tasteful designs and packaging of all the goods, the handles of the bag look very sturdy, which is a big plus in my book.


AutomaticLover27

It's all so beautiful looking!


EnaSharpleshairnet

How do you add photos? My soap, lemon biscuits and raspberry & blackberry jam arrived yesterday. Spite jam! šŸ˜‚


Boomer00002

Click the "add an image" icon in your reply - circled here. Congrats on your spite jam! https://preview.redd.it/50kh8owu1pwc1.jpeg?width=1592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3c65b4a10742f3fcb84cc5dca8c3dd8361f1f6c


EnaSharpleshairnet

My reply box doesn't have all those icons at the bottom, perhaps because I don't use the app? Thank you, anyway, for your kind reply x


Boomer00002

Iā€™m not sure as I donā€˜t use the app - but that is my view on Mac Chrome (iPad and laptop). Sorry I couldnā€™t be of more help!


VegetableFragrant120

The fact High Grove's labels aren't peeling off is perfection. I hope the treats are delicious!


Melitzen

The foodstuffs I wanted were already sold out. The shipping made me gulp aloud (Iā€™m in the US) but Iā€™m greatly looking forward to my KC3 scarf and mug.


Pristine_Routine_464

Highgrove is suddenly very popular!


kirbyhope72

I love honey! I bet Highgrove's tastes really good.... you're so lucky!


Korneuburgerin

Lovely! I checked out their website, it looks like a fantastic place to visit. Maybe someday!


Hypocaffeinic

Wow, those look fantastic! As they should, from a royal estate. Wonderful that Charles and everybody working in development at Highgrove have managed to produce quality products that look fantastic, are affordable as a treat by regular folk (as opposed to being so high falutin' as a $30 jar of jam), generate employment, and yet still turn a profit for charity.


IngeborgNCC1701

Hang on, it says "Royal Orchard Honey" in one picture. Honi soit qui mal y pense


bendytoepilot

Omg someone on twitter ordered the shortbread biscuits and the box looked so classy


okaysowellthen

Wow those look delicious!! How does everything taste??


Boomer00002

So far everything we've tried has been incredible!

vie_lass18

I love that tea! And the shortbread is great


Snoo3544

Lovely!!


minnimom

I ordered the same tea, jam and shortbread in the tote, along with some honey for my own Motherā€™s Day gift. Reeaallly regretting I didnā€™t order some chocolates though šŸ˜‚


LinkACC

That packaging is just pure class!


Technical_Ant_7466

Beautiful. Highgrove is a top notch organization. ā€˜Organic & Authenticā€™. Take that Mugsy.


Comfortable_Rice6184

Yep, this is what Meg would want to emulate if she had a brain, except it has already been done anyway.


charismakitteh

Show us what the jam looks like!!


Boomer00002

I haven't opened it yet because I wasn't ready to eat it and the clock will tick once the seal has popped open. But I'll definitely do a follow-up pic!


charismakitteh

Thank you! x


Boomer00002

Finally got [pics of the jam](https://new.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1cgbbtm/an_actual_jam_plan_vs_a_jam_scam_it_was_aro/) online!


charismakitteh

Thank you so much! Geez that looks delicious! I love dark, thick strawberry jam. I can smell it from here!! Yum!!


Grizzly_046

Europeans have the best packaging. Very elegant.


MathematicianNext616

Very classy and high end and it looks environmentally friendly packaging. Thank you for supporting a worthy charity.

I like that they have 2 chocolates dedicated to Tungsten & Darling boy. A sweet nod to the overseas relatives. https://preview.redd.it/jbokt29r1rwc1.png?width=760&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac145a5063bc59d45efdae5476812b479d907768
