How to Ready Yourself for the Royal Baby’s Arrival

Loud and proud Royal-a-holic? This one’s for you. (And if minimising this window when someone walks by your desk, remember that we know you are not defined by your Royals addiction…no matter how bad it is…. )

If you’ve so much as breathed in the air near a computer or mobile device, you’ll probably know by now that the Duchess of Cambridge has gone into labour. Kate doesn’t get to have all the glitz though. The Mount Street Deli is spreading round the wealth with this royal treat of gift hamper for newborn, mother and father.

How to Ready Yourself for the Royal Baby’s Arrival

Spoil baby and parents with The Royal Baby Box: a hamper of necessities for new families. The box includes life-saving gift cards for a take-away dinner from The Mount Street Deli and for tea with a friend, as well as treats and some baby clothes, too.

The take-away dinner gift card is for a Caprice restaurant signature dish: choose between a J Sheekey fish pie, Daphne’s parmigiana and The Ivy’s famous shepherd’s pie, including desserts for two (for collection at or delivery from the deli). The tea & cake for two gift card is just what it says on the tin: perfect for a much-needed outing with a friend or partner (leaving the nipper with doting grandparents). Among the treats included in the Royal Baby Box are 34 Mayfair’s lavender biscuits, petits fours from Scott’s and The Mount Street Deli’s honeycomb chocolate.
