Food & Drink Gift Ideas
Here are my top picks in food and drink this year – perfect for cosy evenings and festive treats.

The book offers a variety of cheesy recipes, plus insights into different types and info such as when to eat the rind, interviews, fresh cheeseboard ideas and the perfect accompaniments (including bacon jam and poached pears!), and more.

Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon
In 2026, this Four Roses Small Batch bourbon is celebrating its 20th anniversary since its launch, so it’s the perfect time to gift it!
Why It Makes a Great Gift
Four Roses Small Batch is one of Kentucky’s most iconic bourbons, hailing from the picturesque and historic town of Lawrenceburg in the ‘Bluegrass State’.
Created using a blend of four of the distillery’s ten unique bourbon recipes – showcasing the variety of mash bills that the distillers have to work with and selected at their peak maturity – they are then hand-blended and bottled to create a symphony of rich spicy flavours, along with sweet, fruity aromas and hints of oak and caramel.
Tasting Notes & How to Enjoy It
It’s a deliciously soft and smooth bourbon, with a creamy palate and a balanced, moderately sweet finish. Small Batch can be enjoyed neat, over ice, or in a classic cocktail such as the Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
This would make the perfect present for a bourbon lover this Christmas.

If you’re looking for something cosy, pampering or wellbeing-boosting, these stylish gifts are ideal for self-care lovers and anyone who deserves a little luxury.
Bedsure Blanket Hoodie
I love a good wearable blanket (or the other word, a bit like ‘hoody’ that I’m sure we all actually call them!) during the winter months. When it’s freezing, I find that they actually warm you up quickly, and they’re so cosy to snuggle up in at home.
Why It Makes a Great Gift
This oversized sherpa-lined one comes in a few different colours and is really cosy and soft, and has pockets and ribbed cuffs to keep you cosy. It has 4.7 stars out of five from over 5,000 reviews, and is a bestseller on Amazon so you know it must be good!
At under £30 for both large and extra-large sizes – and currently a lot less – they’re a really good price for a hooded blanket, and they should fit pretty much everyone.
Key Features
The premium fabric is OEKO‑TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning that it has been tested to ensure there are no harmful substances in the materials – especially great for those sensitive to chemicals – and neat stitching is used for stronger seams. It is machine washable, and Bedsure also uses a unique dyeing technique that prevents fading after washing.
It makes a really thoughtful present for loved ones, especially for Christmas for someone who is particularly nesh!

Why It Makes a Great Gift

Goodie drinks are handcrafted and made in small batches to ensure the maximum strength of active live bacterial cultures.
Health Benefits
As these drinks flood the gut with naturally friendly bacteria, they can potentially help with common tummy troubles such as bloating, wind and discomfort, help balance the microbiome, support digestion and immunity, and support clearer skin and acne reduction.
By introducing live cultures to the gut, they can also have a positive impact on mood, anxiety and quality sleep.

Why It Makes a Great Gift
The range is made from eco-friendly Econyl® textile yarn – recycled nylon made from waste plastics, so every women’s swimsuit is helping reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment, which is a bonus.
Key Features
I have the Halocline Women’s Dolly Longer Length Swimsuit, which is a lovely dark green, and ideal for those who need extra bust support, thanks to its good under-bust tension from the way the seams are placed, plus a clip-back design for additional support.
It’s also perfect for those who find that swimming costumes often aren’t long enough in the body due to the longer-length fit, and the control fabric flatters your figure, too.
The Dolly swimsuit is chlorine-resistant, meaning it should last twice as long as standard swimwear fabric, and is also available in an extended plus-size range. I love that it has UV 50+ protection and is sun cream and oil-resistant, so it’s perfect for holidays too!
Where to buy: Halocline £52
Pure Evening Primrose Oil Dropper
This Pure Evening Primrose Oil from Efamol is such a lovely product with multiple uses. Perfect for someone who is into skincare or likes looking after their health (or both), the dropper allows it to be used in a topical way for beautifully smooth and nourished skin.
Why It Makes a Great Gift
The vegan oil can also be taken orally, so you are getting a dose of Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acid Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) to support health and skin from the inside. Research has shown that there are benefits of taking Evening Primrose oil for women’s health, with over 750 scientific publications on the active ingredient in EPO and over 350 of these have been on clinical studies using Efamol products.
Why This One Is Different
The high-quality oil is made from the Rigel Evening Primrose seed, which means it contains up to 33% more GLA than other standard Evening Primrose Oil available.

Labre’s Hope Soaps
These beautiful handmade soaps were created by a community-interest company as part of a long-term mission to support some of South Yorkshire’s most vulnerable people.
Why It Makes a Great Gift
The range of soaps come from Labre’s Hope – founded by entrepreneurs to provide vital support to tackle long-term homelessness and offer a chance for individuals who have found themselves living on the streets to rebuild their lives.
The Story Behind the Brand
Working with the South Yorkshire Housing Association and homeless charity Crisis, Labre’s Hope has successfully supported 18 people and currently employs 13 members of staff, all of whom have been affected by homelessness.
Each employee receives a living wage to help them secure a home of their own and is also supported by weekly coaching and well-being sessions to help them learn the skills needed to enjoy a clean start to their lives. Face-to-face employment support is also provided to help them realise their career goals.
This range of soaps features five different scents designed to help relax, reinvigorate, and refresh. They are manufactured using plant-based, sustainably sourced materials. The soaps are specially formulated to be gentle on the skin and avoid using products that are harmful to the environment, such as palm oil, commonly used in soap production.
I love how the brand is raising awareness of homelessness, actively supporting and employing people who have been affected, and equipping them with the vital skills to help them rebuild their lives.
The soaps are all beautiful and smell wonderful, and make such a brilliant gift. Solid soaps are becoming a lot more popular again as they are free from all the plastic packaging you get with a shower gel or hand soap.
By purchasing these soaps for a Christmas gift, you are also supporting a great cause and an ethical business.
Where to buy: Labre’s Hope £6.50 each
Moshulu Slippers
Moshulu is a Devon-based retailer selling shoes, slippers, accessories and more, and they make a beautiful range of snuggly, colourful and comfortable slippers that would make a lovely present this Christmas. I love these Tiree sheepskin mule slippers; they’re so comfortable and cosy and come in a lovely range of colours – I love this neutral tan colour.
Their mule shape makes them easy to slip on and off, and they are also super lightweight due to their EVA soles.
Where to buy: Moshulu £65, currently £55
Aviela Skincare
These products are beautiful and make a gorgeous gift, thanks to the sleek and stylish packaging. I often buy a hand cream for some of my family, and this is such a good one.

Trade to Aid Reusable Sanitary Pads
A brilliantly sustainable gift idea, these reusable sanitary pads are from Trade to Aid – a social business whose profits all go to funding menstrual education and hygiene programs. Not only that but for every pack of pads bought, another pack is donated to a refugee in need of period products.
Sadly, as many as 3 in 10 girls in the UK struggle to access sanitary products and as many as 1 in 10 girls in Sub-Saharan Africa miss school during their periods, with many leaving school completely after they get their first period. So this is a wonderful business to support and give these great reusable pads as a gift for someone or for yourself so you or they can have a more sustainable period.
Key Features
These great reusable pads are comfortable and secure, so much more comfortable than single-use sanitary pads, and so much better for you, too. They are also made of recycled and reusable materials, reducing waste and keeping plastic out of landfills and oceans even more.
Each pack of Trade to Aid reusable pads contain 6 pads – 2 light flow, 2 medium flow and 2 heavy flow, so they’re great for all of the different days of your period, and they are easy to wash and will last for years too.
Where to buy: Trade to Aid £38.50, currently £29.97
Home and Tech Gift Ideas
From clever gadgets to cosy home upgrades, these practical yet exciting ideas are perfect for the adults who love useful gifts with a stylish twist.
Willpowders Candles
I’m a big fan of Willpowders health products, and I really love these natural candles. I’ve had a few of them now (mostly from some of the great offers they do!), and they all smell lovely without being at all overpowering, as I find so many candles are now. The pure coconut oil wax burns clean, long and slow, so they last a good amount of time.
The Willpowder’s candles are non-toxic and made from coconut oil and essential oils, which means, unlike most candles, they don’t disrupt your hormone balance or give out toxic fumes! As a mother of a teenage daughter, I really care a lot more now about the things in our homes that can disrupt her (and my) hormones, and candles are a big one for that.
These pretty candles also double up as a natural moisturiser once they have melted, thanks to the coconut oil they are made with! I also like to use the pretty glass pots for make-upbrushes or pens once the candles are finished.
All of the scents are really nice (and I’m very fussy with candles!), and they would make a perfect treat for Christmas.
Where to buy: Willpowders £30
VonShef Fika Cream 6L Air Fryer
Now that I’m older, I do love getting a new kitchen appliance, and I love the look of this Vonshef air fryer in a cream matte with a wood-effect finish.
This digital air fryer has a large 6L capacity, but is nice and compact on your kitchen side, and it looks really nice too. It has a great 60-minute timer and is non-stick and dishwasher-safe.
Allowing you to cook more healthily and in a faster time, the Fika Cream Air Fryer from Vonhaus has 10 preset functions for anything from steak to cake! Or you can create custom settings for anything else you want to cook.
It has a great 1500W of power, and preheats in just 3-5 minutes, so it’s both energy and time-efficient. The rear fan blows hot air around the machine, so that you get light, fluffy results each time.
I love my new air fryer – it looks lovely in my kitchen and works really well too. And there are matching appliances in the range, too – I’m looking at the microwave to match as we don’t have one at the moment.
Where to buy: Vonhaus or Amazon £64.99
STM Goods Kin Laptop Sleeve
I love this bright laptop sleeve from STM Goods – but it comes in two nice darker colours too. It’s slim and light, whilst being very protective with its soft fleece lining and 4mm shock-absorbing EVA protection.
There’s a zipped accessory pocket for carrying extras, a retractable carry handle, and it is available in 14” or 16” sizes.
Where to buy: STM Goods $29.95 or Amazon £31.19
Vonhaus Handheld UV Dust Vacuum Cleaner
Another household item that I now get excited about – especially if it makes my life easier – this UV vacuum cleaner is designed to tackle allergens, dust, mites and bacteria hiding in your mattress, bedding and soft furnishings, thus making your home healthier.
It has a clever ‘tapping’ feature that creates powerful vibrations through a mattress, bringing dust and mites to the surface for easy removal! The UV-C light emits 234.5nm wavelengths, penetrating deep into fabrics to eliminate 99.9% of mites, allergens and bacteria.
It also heats the surface to sanitise it, which prevents mould growth and freshens it up!
Key Features
The 500W handheld vacuum cleaner has 14kPa of suction power and 8000RPM, and the dual-cup design ensures clog-free performance, with one cup for filtration and one for dust collection.
The Vonhaus Handheld UV Dust Vacuum Cleaner weighs only 1.73kg and has a 4m power cord so it’s easy to use and empty, with the one-touch release button.
I love that I can give our beds and pillows a thorough clean with this, and our sofas too – particularly great when you have pets!
Where to buy: Vonhaus or Amazon £59.99, currently £49.99
Danilo Wall Calendars and Diaries
These officially licensed calendars and diaries from Danilo make lovely ideas for Christmas gifts.
The A3 deluxe Disney Classics wall calendar brings your favourite Disney characters to life with stunning artwork of iconic Disney characters alongside timeless quotes. It cleverly has perforated edges so you can turn these fun pages into frame-ready posters, and comes in a special A3 envelope, making it an ideal gift for a Disney fan.
My daughter and I are huge fans of Gilmore Girls, so this calendar is perfect for her. Each month features Lorelai, Rory, and other favourite members of the cast and there’s plenty of room for important dates in the date panels too, so it could also be used as a family calendar.

Key Features
The ultra-thin wires on the Mission Samurai II dartboard create a sharp angle so that the darts glance over them and into the scoring areas, resulting in fewer bounce-outs and damage to the darts.

Where to buy: Darts Corner £34.95
VistaPrint Photo Gifts
I love giving (and receiving) personalised gifts for Christmas, and VistaPrint is perfect for that. They have a huge range of both photo and personalised gifts at really great prices, and they often have offers on too.
Why They Make a Great Gift
This year I chose some photo Christmas tree ornaments with pictures of our beloved pets on, as well as one for my Dad with his two granddaughters on, a photo keyring for my daughter, a mug for my Dad, and this lovely wall calendar for next year for our home.
The photo calendars make brilliant gifts for loved ones, especially grandparents, and they are of really nice quality. You can get different sizes and shapes, as well as lots of different designs to choose from, or you can create your own. I filled ours with our pets, and my daughter and her cousins, and I’m so looking forward to having it up in our house in the new year.

eflorist Snowfall Bouquet
I absolutely love getting some flowers for a special occasion, and these Christmassy ones from eflorist are absolutely beautiful. I love the big white blooms of the chrysanthemums and the white avalanche roses alongside the green foliage and golden pine cones. They are exactly my taste – being gorgeous for Christmas without being overtly ‘Christmas’.
But if you love all things red and Christmassy, then eflorist also have loads of other beautiful bouquets available to gift (whether that’s for someone else or just as a treat for yourself!) in bright reds and oranges, baskets of flowers and poinsettias and some bouquets even come with free chocolates too!
