Cuisipro Fine Rasp Grater
At a recent cooking demo for our Amici—guests who’ve joined us on at least one of our holidays—the Cuisipro Fine Rasp Grater was a standout hit. Almost everyone who attended ended up purchasing this handy kitchen tool, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Guests have shared that they can’t imagine cooking without it now! Its precision and ease of use make grating everything from cheese to zest a breeze, and it’s quickly become an indispensable tool in their kitchens.
Sustainable Sentiment: Reusable Shopping Bag
This is a handy gift that has a lot of heart behind it. We love Kind’s sustainable shopping bags not just because of their stunning designs, but because every single one is made from 100% recycled bottles. It’s a useful, low-cost gift that would work well as a Secret Santa present or stocking filler.
Perfect Set: Carluccio’s ‘Italian Dinner’ Hamper
This artisan Italian hamper is packed with everything you need to throw an Italian feast. Its contents includes pesto alla genovese, nduja, dried pasta, crisp flatbreads, ground coffee, amaretti biscuits, and a bottle of Prosecco to boot. Plus, everything comes wrapped in an iconic Carluccio’s blue box. Bellissimo!

In the Post: Letterbox Brownies
Everyone loves brownies, right? Especially when they’re as indulgent as the ones at Cake or Death, who whip up flavours like Oreo, salted caramel, Lotus Biscoff and Almond Cherry Bakewell. The twist? You can have them delivered straight through your letterbox for the ultimate edible gift. Choose a flavour, or build your box with a few of your favourites. All its brownies are 100% vegan, although you’d never be able to tell…
Chocolat Chaud: Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser
Achieve beautifully rich and creamy hot chocolate in seconds with Hotel Chocolat’s Velvetiser. Available in charcoal, copper or white, it’s a beautiful item that is sure to make a statement in your recipient’s kitchen. More importantly, it does make dreamy hot choc. Simply choose your favourite chocolate flavour and milk, press the button and in two and a half minutes, you’ll have a steaming cup of cocoa.

Perfect Pick-Me-Up: Coffee Machine
A coffee machine is the ultimate home gift for anyone who needs their habitual Americano to get them out of bed in the morning. This black machine by Nespresso is sure to make a slick addition to a loved one’s kitchen. And if you’re feeling extra generous, why not get them a milk frother too, for the perfect set?

Green Fingers: Indoor Herb Planter
Keen to grow your own herbs or flowers but don’t have the outdoor space to do it? This nifty Smart Garden means you can grow anything you like, all year round, at home. It’s self-watering, which means once you’ve added your seeds and soil, you don’t need to do a thing. It provides the perfect amount of light, nutrients and oxygen to ensure homegrown produce any time of year.
The Gift that Keeps on Giving: A Cheese Subscription
Food subscriptions bring joy to the recipient long after you’ve presented your gift, and there are so many brilliant food and drink subscriptions on offer these days. You can have pretty much anything delivered straight to your door, from artisan cheeses to curry-making kits, coffee, wine and beer! Our favourite is this one at Paxton’s; simply purchase their bronze, silver, gold or platinum cheese club package as a gift, and receive an ever-changing selection of artisan cheeses, along with biscuits and tasting notes cards.
