Buying Christmas presents can be hard at the best of times. Foodies can be especially hard to buy for. Well, we think we’ve solved the problem. We all need to eat and we all love food. Food isn’t something that people can keep so it is hard to think that you’ll hear the phrase “oh I’ve got one of those already” and there are some pretty impressive food gifts out there. So, this Christmas why not treat the foodies in your life with some top food gifts? In this blog we will look at some of the top gifts for foodies this year.
For the meat lover
As a nation we have become a lot more cosmopolitan over the years and we think it is fair to say that everyone loves a cheese and cured meat platter with perhaps a splash of wine. Well we found this great English Charcuterie Hamper. Made with British wild venison and Free-Range British pork you will get 6 award winning products from a selection of: Hartgrove Coppa, wild venison pepperoni, wild venison Chorizo, Sloe and Garlic wild Venison Salami, Chorizo Picante, fennel and white pepper salami and Dorset Blue and Fig Salami. When it comes to home grown cured meats, this really is something special.
Cheesy does it!
Now these cured meats would be a little lonely without the cheese to go with them, so why not also treat them to this artisan cheese board? Consisting of 4 Welsh cheeses including a Cheddar from Ceredigion, a blue from Anglesey, a Brie from the Wye Valley and a smoked cheese from Pembrokeshire, this cheese selection will really get your mouth watering.
Find your own
Foraging is a big thing now and how often do we see chefs on TV extoling the virtue of foraged ingredients? For the true connoisseurs out there what could be better than a foraging experience? Well, we think a coastal foraging experience might well top that. We bet you thought we were going to recommend a forest experience didn’t you? These Coastal foraging experiences from Coastal foraging are just the thing. Learn all about sea vegetables, shellfish, crustaceans, clams, cockles and oysters depending on the environment you are foraging in. Just imagine bringing home the fruits of your labour and cooking possibly the freshest seafood you will ever have tasted.
Whisky that wows
If you want to get that someone special something pretty spectacular and whisky is their thing, then we think this Whisky from Coachbuilt whisky is the one to go for. Made from a unique blend of whiskies from all 5 major whisky producing regions in Scotland this really is the perfect gift for the whisky afficionado in your life.
Cocktails all the way
If cocktails are more their thing, then this pre-mixed Christmas cocktail box is perfect. Containing 6 pre-mixed cocktails including a spiced negroni, a winter sidecar, an apple rum punch, a Christmas margarita, Christmas in Manhattan and a snow daiquiri, this really will add some je ne Sais quoi to Christmas.
A piece of pizza
Now for the pièce de resistance of all gifts for a foodie and something the whole family can enjoy. How about your very own pizza oven. Enjoy the taste of home made pizza cooked to perfection in this portable gas fired pizza oven from Ooni. Throw your dough around, splash on the sauce and trimmings, pop into the oven and 60 seconds later you have a fresh pizza to make any Italian proud.
We have just chosen a few of our favourite food related gifts, but there are so many different options out there. Whatever you buy for your loved ones at Christmas just remember to enjoy the time together, to build memories and above all laugh and be happy.
