25 doors · £100 on the box · rated 4/5
Twenty-seven food-hall items for 100 GBP, every one named and weighed, with a 200 ml Champagne, two cocktails, a twelve-month pudding and the Collection jars breaking up a chocolate-heavy count. It is a hamper with doors more than a calendar, which for M&S's food hall is the point; the small jar sizes are the only thing holding it off a higher mark.
