This Gift Basket from the Bee's Knees in West Acton is full of delightful treasures from "across the Pond."

There is an Emma Bridgewater Folk Rosehip Plate, handcrafted and hand-decorated in red and green Christmas colors in Stoke on Trent, England. The plate is 8.5 inches in diameter. There is also an Emma Bridgewater Folk Rosehip French bowl, in the same pattern as the plate and also made in Stoke on Trent. The bowl is 5.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches high.

Continuing with the red-and-green theme, there is a splendid straight-sided, 3-red-hooped Cornishware Mug that is just the thing when it is time for tea. A Cornishware 7-inch Side Plate, ringed in two green circles, would be perfect for serving freshly baked bread alongside dinner, or cheese and biscuits afterward. The Cornishware was made and hand-decorated at West Country Pottery in England.

There is also a package of McVitie's Digestive biscuits that are "seriously chocolatey" and Whittard Tea, Piccadilly Blend, loose leaf Black Tea with added flavors of rose, strawberry and lotus.

The whole basket is beautifully wrapped in cellophane with a large red bow. What a lovely gift it will make!
