i know a lot about teas, but not english teas. Mostly green and white and oolong tea. But I'd like to suggest an electric tea kettle if he doesn't have one. I'm getting one for Christmas and I'm very excited. see if he has one, and get one, especially if he likes to drink tea.

Reply:You can't go wrong with Earl Grey and English breakfast teas.



Earl grey has bergamot, or bergamot scent which is an uplifting oil. It is a nice refreshing tea that is popular.



English breakfast is probably a more filling type of tea.



My brother in law is English and he enjoys many types of teas, I have given him treat packs that include specialty herbal teas and organic teas and he enjoys different ones on different occasions.



So you may like to give her the two types of teas I mention at the top, and then something more exotic - like an organic herbal blend - even just a peppermint(if you are worried about getting too exotic).



Often those gift boxes have shortbread biscuits in them. But I have given my brother-in-law delicate specialty chocolates with his teas and he has seemed to enjoy that.



You could also go for some jams - those packs often have jams so they can have jam on toast or scones with their tea.



I would use a nice organic raspberry, strawberry or blackberry if you find them otherwise non-organic. But using organic products gives it a nice special effect.



You could also include a lovely cup and saucer or tea pot, or even a tea ball - this is a little ball that you can put tea leaves in and leave in a cup to set (instead of using a tea bag), handy for work or travel when a tea pot is less convenient.



Obviously it all depends on how much you want to spend and how many teas you are using, as to what other items you could add to your basket.



That is, of course, if you decide to make up your own basket for her.
