LUXURY Buckingham Palace Christmas hampers and corgidecorated socks are among a new range of festive gifts from the

Royal Collection (royalcollection shop.co.uk).

The baskets of posh treats, available online, include mince pies, loose leaf tea and Christmas tea towels and come in three sizes – large £175, medium £125 and small £75.

Each comes in a traditional rattan-style picnic basket, stamped with a black crown and the words ‘Buckingham Palace’ in capitals.

If all that’s a bit rich for your pocket, there are also some socks decorated with images of the Queen’s favourite dogs and made by the appropriately-named luxury knitwear brand Corgi, £16.
