Foodie experiences.

Sometimes, giving the gift of an experience is just as special as a material present, because memories are truly priceless! Consider gifting your foodie friend a cooking class to hone their skills, or maybe even a walking food tour through a historic area of the UK. 

Vouchers for events like these can be enjoyed whenever your giftee sees fit, so if they’d rather enjoy a food tour through the likes of London Borough Market, or the Ultimate Cheese Crawl in the sunshine, they’re more than welcome to wait until summer.

Ingredients and utensils.

If your special someone is a seasoned home chef, why not gift them some high-quality utensils or ingredients that’ll make their cooking experience that little bit more special? Do they have a particular niche or a preferred cuisine that requires certain higher-end flavours, such as truffles or rarer spice blends? Or maybe they gravitate towards certain cooking styles and could do with some updated tools and gadgets.

Festive hampers.

Christmas is all about good food, so a festive hamper is guaranteed to go down a treat on the big day. Whether you’re thinking charcuterie vibes or think that their sweet tooth would prefer a luxury chocolate box, you can’t go wrong when giving the gift of good food!

If you want to make your gift that extra bit personal, you could always create your own hamper, filled with all their favourite snacks and treats.

Fancy drinks.

Yes, we may have claimed that Christmas is all about food, but a tasty bite to eat goes down so much better with the perfect drink. Consider a festive drink like a mulled wine or even a bottle of Baileys that they can pop open while they relax into Wallace and Gromit or Strictly Come Dancing on Christmas Day. If they don’t drink alcohol, however, find a premium coffee or hot chocolate to warm them up from the inside out.
