Selfridges, now everywhere
I love Selfridges, could spend hours in there, and eat my way through a great many foodstuffs. So I’m thrilled to find that, finally, their website has gone transactional. Welcome to the 21st century. But the good news is that it gives a whole crop of interesting food possibilities, either to stock up your own cupboard or treat the foodie in your life with.
Having a quick look around the site, there are interesting sounding things from Easy Tasty Magic. Need to bling your dinner? Have a look at the Food Bling Mixed Metals Box. Up for some mischief? Try the White Mischief Rub. Hoping there is some substance behind these, not just gimmickry, but they look good and would raise a smile.
If you want some fabulous Easter treats, or for any other time of the year, then there is a small but select range from Artisan du Chocolat available online, as well as Godiva. Should you be craving a bit of Americana, then there’s a good selection of American “goodies”, from Marshmallow Fluff to Lucky Charms. To wash it down, there’s tea from Tea Palace and Artisan du Chocolat’s hot chocolate.
For something stronger, there’s of course a good selection of champagne, wine and spirits. They even offer a case discount with 12 bottles. It’s almost like Tesco. But with nicer bags.
So, if you’re feeling a bit flush, or got someone difficult to buy a gift for, it’s worth bookmarking the site and heading back from time to time to see what they’ve got that’s new. I’ll just be trying to keep away from the fragrance pages, as all the Tom Ford Private Collection fragrances are available online. There’s a bottle of Tobacco Vanille calling my name!

Glad they have eventually got with the times! I love Selfridges food hall and it’s always a treat to visit.
