1 - Salted Caramels
These little balls of flavoursome heaven are a great stocking filler on Christmas morning. Coming in a Swiss milk chocolate shell dusted in cocoa powder, they are great for nibbling on after Christmas dinner. Pick up this Handmade Salted Caramel Truffles Gift Box and enjoy wonderful festive food gifts made by Fine Food Specialist’s experts in dessert creation.
2 - Chocolate Truffles
Not many people will turn down a chocolate treat at Christmas time. January is when you can start worrying about your waistline. But at Christmas, it’s right to sit back and treat yourself.
At Fine Food Specialist, we have boxes of Handmade Swiss Chocolate Truffles containing no fewer than 77 delicious pieces of wonderful chocolate.
With flavours including Gin and Tonic, Champagne, Caramel and Prosecco, there’s a host of luxurious selections of Chocolate Truffles to pick from and treat either yourself or a close one to this Christmas.
3 - White Chocolate Truffles
If 77-piece boxes of truffles simply aren’t big enough, fear not. We have great 84-piece boxes of White Flaked Chocolate Truffles that are brilliant for those who love a sweet treat. Made with creamy white Belgian milk chocolate, these truffles are dipped in white chocolate flakes to help make a great after-dinner gift. With 84 in every box, this is a great Christmas item that can help make the big day extra special and be shared.
4 - Gin and Tonic Marmalade
Gin and Tonic is a refreshing beverage to have at your disposal around Christmas time. But you can enjoy the delicious tastes of a G&T for longer with some Gin and Tonic flavoured improper marmalade.
Stick some on your toast come Christmas morning and start your Christmas day in the right way.
This isn’t just any old marmalade doused in G&T either. This product has won three Great Taste Stars and the World Marmalade Awards Bronze in 2017.
5 - Douglas Fir Pine Needles
Need some edible gift inspiration this Christmas? Look no further than the latest Fine Food Specialist blog. We have picked out our top 10 selections, so take a browse.
Now these little beauties might look a bit familiar around Christmas time. Douglas Fir leaves are of course the branches from the trees that we traditionally put in our homes every Christmas. But did you know they can be used in dishes to create delightful authentic Christmassy flavours? Not dissimilar to rosemary and with hints of lemon, Douglas Fir leaves can be blended and used in winter cocktails or cupcakes for example. These are a great edible gift for the Christmas season. And they work really well with tangerines!
6 - Christmas Puddings
The latter part of our top ten list starts off with a box of truly boozy wonder. This Deluxe Christmas Puddings Gift Box from Fine Food Specialist. A top quality stocking filler, these little bundles of joy come in dark chocolate domes and have a delicious rum truffle middle. Add to that the traditional Christmas pudding topping and you have a wonderful edible gift to give this year.
7 - Mini Panettone
A delightful combination of candied fruits, raisins and traditional panettone bread is what our next edible Christmas gift idea offers up.
The dough rises naturally and cools over half a day, giving panettone its much-loved texture and flavour.
This mini Panettone from Augusta is available at Fine Food Specialist and comes in a wonderful tin container, making it the perfect gift this Christmas.
8 - Luxury Beluga Caviar and Champagne Gift Set
Anybody with a particularly fancy set of taste buds will love our Luxury Beluga Caviar and Champagne Gift Set as a Christmas present. Oozing high-end quality, this set contains a mini bottle of Laurent Perrier signature champagne and a beautiful pot of the finest Beluga Caviar - perfect for gourmet food lovers. Add to this a wonderful spoon and mother-of-pearl plate and any recipient of this great gift is sure to have a smile on their face.
9 - Marshmallow Advent Calendar
In the build-up to Christmas, there’s nothing quite like an Advent Calendar to get the excitement bubbling. This year, why not buy a loved one a Marshmallow Advent Calendar? With a host of handmade marshmallows coming in flavours such as raspberry, vanilla, salted caramel and more, this is a great alternative to traditional advent calendars. Even better, you can re-purpose this advent calendar with your own goodies next Christmas as the boxes are reusable! A sustainable and delicious advent calendar.
10 - Milk Chocolate Brussel Sprouts
For something a little different this Christmas, and something that will make a recipient think twice, take a look at our Milk Chocolate Brussel Sprouts. A perfect imitation of everybody’s best or worst vegetable on the outside, the inside of these contain creamy milk chocolate truffle dipped in white chocolate.
The perfect way to eat your Christmas greens and sneakily enjoy something different. Hopefully, this range of food gift ideas has offered some festive inspiration.
