I don’t really like shortbread, but…

must admit do like a nice bit of shortbread but I agree the tins are pretty and you dont often see proper tins just plastic which get so brittle.
i like shortbread as you can nibble it while watching tv or add fruit and cream to it or have it with ice cream

I've bought the jack in the box shortbread tin from M&S for the little girl next door. The family are Indian and I thought it was quite a 'British' thing to do

I buy them each year and unfortunately - for my waistline - I love the shortbread too.
It’s very good quality if you don’t bake your own (as my Scottish MIL used to).

Love shortbread. Just bought a pack today ?

I love shortbread and make my own but am very pleased to have been given a tin of M&S as I’m in need of a new cake tin for my flapjack.

I make my own and use a pretty tin that a friend gave me several years ago.

Shortbread lover here and I use the tins for my craft bits and bobs.

Mmmmm shortbread! I could eat loads dunked in a cup of tea, yes dunked!

You know how to enjoy life.
Yummy paradise!!

That jack in the bix tin sounds lovely.

Why are all the messages coming up the wrong way round? The first ones are at the bottom! On my laptop I can click on "flip", but not on my phone. I don't understand why this is happening, but it's very annoying!

Just been given a tin of M&S shortbread - after deciding not to buy one this year!

I do have a collection of those tins which I keep meaning to throw out but they are so useful (not just for food).

I've bought a tin of Adi's "all butter" shortbread for a friend. The picture of a robin on the tin is so nice that I'm tempted to keep it for myself! (Can't face returning to Aldi before Christmas: perhaps they'll have them reduced, next weekend!)

Ah unfortunately I like the tins AND the shortbread, end up stuffed and a cupboard stuffed full of tins from each year !

My dear late husband loved shortbread with a glass of ginger wine on Christmas Eve, a real tradition that I miss so much. Haven’t bought any this year

What a great idea I will go out and get one later we have a local small M&S and give the contents to my Community Gardening project for our tea time. Brilliant

We were disappointed that the biscuit assortment we like at Christmas is only available in a box. DH bought 2 lovely tins with flower patterns on Amazon which are the exact same dimensions. We have put the biscuits in still in the plastic insert.

Do enjoy shortbread byt it's got to have rice flour in it to give the "crunch" when eating.

I don't especially like shortbread, but we get a tin of it every year from my daughter's mother-in-law, so DH eats most of it and I usually save the tins for my leather making bits and bobs.

Some years she buys a tin in an unusual shape, which we ditch. I suppose I could ask her for a nice rectangular tin and give her measurements, but I don't think it would go down well!

😲 Those are the ones which are probably collectable.
Believe it or not, people collect tins!

A Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin, which was made in 1929 and doubles up as a clockwork double decker motor bus, exceeded expectations at Derbyshire’s Hansons Auctioneers. (on Nov 19) It sold to a private UK buyer for a hammer price of £2,500.

Some have sold for far more.

I'm not sure about the M&S shortbread tins though. 😁

Best shortbread is Lidls deluxe version.

I love shortbread and the cheap ones from Iceland are absolutely delicious !

I was an unintentional tin collector!
Such pretty ones and loath to throw them out. But oh the disappointment when the DGC find they're full of sewing things.

Biscuit tins are pretty and useful once the contents have been snaffled.Biscuits don’t last long in our house.🙈
