It’s hard to believe but it’s coming up to THAT time of year! I as ever am grossly under prepared for Christmas – the one thing is for sure, I’m NOT doing it in person. I just can’t cope with the crowds, especially doing London crowds pretty frequently these days. I want peace, quiet, a decent wifi signal and a massive cup of tea to be my Christmas shopping environment! So with that in mind, here are some of my top pics for last minute Christmas present panicking!
Top 5 Christmas Gifts For Gluten Free Foodies
If you get me food I will ALWAYS be happy – Christmas is after all the season for stuffing your face silly! These gifts are perfect for gluten free foodies and normal foodies alike!
Gluten Free and All At Sea T-Shirt
£21.99
They’ll definitely see you coming in this one! This is one of my own designs, because I just NEEDED to have my allergies splashed across my chest!
TasteCard membership!
£79.99 for a year’s membership
Tastecard membership is absolutely perfect for people like me who spend half a day out deciding where to eat! It’s the UK’s largest dining discount card of it’s kind with 6000+ partner restaurants. Some of the restaurants offering gluten free in Liverpool you can use tastecard include Zizzi, La Tasca, Ask Italian, Pizza Express, Silk Road, Eds Easy Diner, Bella Italia and BierKeller.
You use the free app to find applicable restaurants near you, book a table (make sure you mention tastecard when you book) and then show them your card when you order. Then sit back, relax and enjoy 50% off or 2 for 1 on your meals!
Cheese Making Kit
£24.99
We all know someone seriously into their cheeses – I’m one of them and I know loads of them! If you know some that loves a good cheese board, let them show off by making their own! This kit lets you make over 20 types of artisan cheese, including Mozzarella, Halloumi, Goats, Cottage Cheese, and Cheshire cheese!
Gluten Free Brownies…In A Box!
£24.00
I mean, come on! Brownies…IN A BOX! This company does some incredible normal, vegan and gluten free flavours – this gluten free gift box features their Gluten Free Peanut butter brownie bites, Gluten Free Salted Caramel brownie bites, Gluten Free Nutella brownie bites and Gluten Free Honeycomb brownie bites.
Gluten Free Horizons Top 5 Christmas Gifts For Cruise and Travel Addicts
Anchor Cuff Links
These are a cute present “for him”, particular on cruise formal nights! I got my dad some similar ones a while ago.
Junkbox’s Wanderlust collection
This Chester based company boasts a range of adventure inspired collections, from t-shirts and hoodies to rucksacks and bobble hats. I was very kindly gifted a shirt a while back which I managed to somehow mess up the front of on the first wear (I don’t think it coped with being tucked into jeans – guess that’s how I’m wearing it forever!)
I’ve actually treated myself to a hoodie from Junkbox seeing as we’re now into cosy season!
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones
£299.95 (but on sale for £249 as I write this!)
Ok, obviously these are kind of an investment rather than a standard gift – you won’t be slipping a pair of these to your Secret Santa. Honestly though, for frequent travellers they are an absolute godsend. Noise cancelling headphones are a game changer on public transport, especially long haul flights! There’s a reason they’re on my travel essentials list!
Travel Gadget Organiser
I’m not one for jewellry, so a lot of those super practical (and pretty) organisers are a bit lost on me. Give me a gadget though and I’m happy – this organiser is great for keeping chargers, headphones, plugs and more organised!
Gluten Free Horizons Top 5 Christmas Gifts For Gin Fiends
It’s highly unoriginal but I will never be disappointed if you buy me gin (much to the relief of most people that ever have to buy me presents!)
Liverpool Gin Distillery Experience
The fact that I’ve not been to this place yet is a bit of a travesty (hint hint) – Liverpool Gin is fit and this experience lets you create your own!
You’ll be guided through the purpose made ‘Gin Laboratories’ where you will learn about the history of gin, explore a wide range of botanicals before choosing your very own to produce your very own personalised bottle of Liverpool Gin.
Fruit Salad Gin
£19.29
I discovered this little fittie in Bents (if you live around Merseyside/Cheshire you need to give that place a visit!) – it’s a garden centre but has an amazing food and drink deli.
This gin is nice enough to drink neat over ice, but I usually drink it with lemonade.
Christmas Pudding Gin
£33.99
I’m not usually that crazy about unusual flavoured gins but this sounds fit, and perfect for Christmas!
Apparently as well as making the perfect after turkey dinner treat, it also makes a lovely G&T, martini or Negroni
G&T Chopping Board
£9.95
This bespoke chopping board perfect for any gin lover to slice your lemons and limes for your favourite tipple (although I recommend orange – seriously, try it with Larios, it’ll change your life!). You can personalise this to include a name and custom message.
‘Guilt Free’ Gins
From £29.99
I don’t want gin to ever make me feel guilty, but if you’re buying for someone looking to keep their drinking healthier, SkinnyBooze has a fab range of ‘Skinny’ spirits, like Ketel One Botanicals Grapefruit & Rose.
