The brand new Paddington Bear film, Paddington in Peru, is set to grace cinemas on November 8, featuring our favourite bear returning to his original South American roots. To mark the latest installment of the family film series, Fortnum and Mason has unveiled a stunning limited edition hamper brimming with everything you need to get into the Paddington mood. The Paddington In Peru Limited Edition Hamper is now up for grabs at £185, filled with an array of sweet delights and keepsakes to commemorate the new movie launch. With only 600 hampers available, each one comes with a ‘Certificate of Pawthenticity’ and bears Paddington’s ‘paw’ of approval, indicating it has been ‘lovingly made especially for you’ by his pals at Fortnum and Mason.

Included in every hamper is a jar of Paddington In Peru Emergency Marmalade, crafted specifically for the bear who always has marmalade at hand. This marmalade is a classic medium cut, blending traditional Seville orange with zesty Peruvian lime as a tribute to Paddington’s Peruvian lineage, and is traditionally made in small batches, making it a particularly special addition to your pantry. Inspired by Paddington’s love for marmalade, the Marmalade Sandwich Truffles are a delight. They contain 20 luxurious chocolate truffles with a sweet and slightly bitter marmalade ganache centre that uses Fortnum’s Sir Nigel’s Marmalade.

Each truffle is wrapped in a sourdough crumbed milk or dark chocolate for a crunchy texture, making them the perfect treat to sneak into the cinema while you enjoy the film. The Paddington In Peru Limited Edition Hamper also includes Paddington-inspired iced biscuits and a Chocolate Llama Plaque, both of which can be purchased separately as part of the wider Paddington X Fortnum’s range. Additionally, the hamper contains marmalade shortbread biscuits and a cuddly Classic Paddington Plush toy. The wicker hamper itself is designed to resemble Paddington’s suitcase, complete with leather straps, travel stickers and a bespoke luggage tag. This hamper makes a fantastic Christmas gift for Paddington Bear fans and is sure to be a hit whether it’s a gift or a family treat. If you’re after something smaller but equally sweet, Biscuiteer has a complete Paddington range of iced biscuits. These are available in larger tins or as letterbox gifts, with prices ranging from £13.95 to £85. The biggest Paddington Gift Box also includes a toy and a collection of Paddington Bear books, reports the Mirror.
