Voucher for Afternoon Tea

Suzieque66

Hi .. My son gave me a Voucher For Afternoon Tea for £65.00 .. I don't want to use it as it's an awful ammount of money for sandwiches and a few cakes.

The tea shop wont let anymore people come to the Tea .. so it 2 only ..

How could the tea room stop you bringing someone else if they sat with you and bought a pot of tea or something?

A local hotel here is very happy for two people to share an afternoon if we buy an extra pot. They even give us an extra scone.

Thank you, theworriedwell. I chuckled at the car valeting comment. I suppose people like to give gifts that look nice and that doesn’t really fit the bill!

My car would look nice though. I see that as thoughtful, maybe not a typical present but something the recipient would actually love. To me there's nothing original or thoughtful about a voucher for afternoon tea.

Once when I was heavily pregnant with my third child and doing a demanding job someone bought me a bagful of ironing, they arranged for a bag of clothes to be collected and delivered back all beautifully ironed. It was truly one of the best presents ever. I was able to fill a black bin bag with it all. Now to me that was a brilliant thoughtful present. Wouldn't be for everyone that's where the thoughtful came in.
