Gift Basket Idea: High Tea at Highclere

This gift basket is lovingly curated for the Downton Abbey devotee in your life. Chances are good that your Downton lover already has the previous seasons on DVD, so now's your chance to pull together the perfect items to tide them over while they suffer Downtown withdrawal symptoms and await the US airing of the beloved British drama.

This gift basket started with a lovely Downton Abbey ornament to hang on the Christmas tree or sit out for year-round adoring. Your Downton fan can proudly wear which sister they identify with the most or sport favorite quotes from the show (in comfy t-shirt form).

The best-selling novel The American Heiress (by Daisy Goodwin) might not center around the goings-on at Downton, but sounds like a perfect read on a cozy winter's night. The historical fiction novel tells "the story of Cora Cash, an American heiress in the 1890s who bags an English duke, this is a deliciously evocative first novel that lingers in the mind." - Allison Pearson, New York Times bestselling author.

No cozy winter's night spent reading or binge-watching the first few seasons would be complete without some English tea and a pretty teacup to sip it from.

How many of my fellow Downton Abbey fans would simply LOVE to receive this basket? I know I sure would!
