Celebration Boxes: Afternoon Tea, Birthdays & Gifting

Big moments are made of small details — a hand-tied ribbon, a beautiful box, the smell of fresh bakes, and food that feels like a real treat.

At Chef de la Maison, our Celebration Boxes are designed for people who want to make someone feel special without the stress. Whether it’s a birthday surprise, a thank-you gift, a cosy celebration at home, or a “just because” treat, we pack everything with care and deliver it ready to enjoy.

What is a Chef de la Maison Celebration Box?

A Celebration Box is a premium, ready-to-serve food gift, beautifully presented and prepared by our team. Each box is made to feel thoughtful, luxurious, and effortless—perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself!).

Our most popular style is our Afternoon Tea Box, but we can also tailor boxes for birthdays, corporate gifting, or special occasions.

Our most popular: Afternoon Tea Celebration Boxes

Afternoon tea is a timeless favourite because it works for almost any moment:

• Birthdays

• Anniversaries

• Valentine’s Day

• Mother’s Day

• Thank you gifts

• New baby / congratulations

• Get-well-soon treats

• “Just because” surprises

A typical afternoon tea style box includes a mix of:

• Luxury finger sandwiches (assorted fillings)

• Handmade scones with clotted cream and jam

• Cakes and sweet treats

• Savoury favourites (like mini quiches and sausage rolls)

Everything is portioned to share and easy to serve at home.

Birthday boxes (a celebration, delivered)

Want something more birthday-focused? We can build a box around:

• A chosen theme (classic, luxury, fun, romantic)

• Your preferred sweet treats and savouries

• Optional extras like a note card and special presentation

It’s a brilliant alternative to organising party food—especially for smaller at-home celebrations.

Add-ons to make it extra special

The best part of gifting is personalising it. Popular add-ons include:

• Fresh flowers / a rose

• Hand-tied ribbon and premium presentation

• Extra cakes or brownies

• Fruit platters

• Tea & coffee options (where requested)

• Custom message card (if you’d like us to include one)

If you tell us what the occasion is, we’ll recommend the nicest “finishing touches”.

Delivery or collection (whatever suits you)

We offer delivery or collection depending on your location and preference.

Delivery is perfect for surprises—especially when you can’t be there in person.Collection is great if you want to keep costs down or deliver it yourself.

When ordering, simply let us know:

• Preferred delivery/collection date

• Time window (if important)

• Any access instructions (reception, gate code, etc.)

Celebration boxes can be tailored to suit:

• Vegetarian options
