Sweet Delights Windsor

Though they don’t have an official store – yet! – Sweet Delights knock up pretty personalised gift boxes and decorative signs for birthdays and celebrations, focusing on the little ones. Give your credit card a rest from the glossy high-street chains and support a smaller local business by ordering a cheeky chest of typical English confectionary for a mouthful to remember.

Havana House

If you do decide to explore Windsor Royal Shopping as we’ve suggested, one stop you really shouldn’t miss is Havana House. While we’re more or less agreed that smoking is a dirty habit, it’s harder to shake the glamour of a real Cuban cigar. With expert staff and a wide selection, this place is a treasure trove for a ciggie connoisseur. A box of Havana’s finest may not be the most English of offerings, but certainly makes a sophisticated gift anyway. Tip: Don’t inhale. It’s the thought that counts.
