“If you’re looking for a gift that’s as unique as the person you’re giving it to, I recommend the Netherwood Blueberry Rum Liqueur from Blueberry Café. I find their gins and rums to be so unusual and cool.”

“I guess you can say Bluebird Coffee Roastery is highly rated and editor-approved, for sure, because this is my top pick for a gift. Their coffee is of great quality, and they have a wide range of flavours available in espresso blends, microlots, and special releases.”

“My suggestion for a Christmas gift would be the Wedgewood Classic Hamper (Blue). This hamper is beautifully packaged in a small box and finished with a Petersham ribbon, giving it that special festive touch. (And I don’t have to do any work!) It includes a Wedgewood almond and milk chocolate almond gift box, a box of Angels salted caramel biscuits (perfect for tea time), and an almond nougat boxed bar. It’s a perfect assortment of indulgent goodies to share over the holidays.”

“The sweet treats box from none other than Miche Bakehouse. It’s the type of gift you give anyone with a sweet tooth. Most people jump for joy when they receive a gift, but this is the type of gift that makes you want to do a full-on backflip both before and after you’ve tucked into the box.”

“I like getting gifts which are unique to that specific person, and I can think of a few people who would appreciate a rare collectable or book. I know I’d find something out of the ordinary, yet meaningful here. I might also snatch a book or two for myself.”

“There must be wizards working at Terbodore, because they seem to have every flavoured bean, which is perfect when it comes to choosing a gift, as you can personalise your gift by getting a specific flavour for your loved one.”

“My gift is a large bag of Lavender Aromatherapy Bath Salts from Dargle-based brand Flowers and Leaves. They have a shop at Piggly Wiggly. Christmas can be such a busy time with events and parties, so I thought bath salts would be a thoughtful way to encourage a friend or family member to pause, relax, and refocus on what truly matters.”

“I love giving timeless gifts. Leather and silver are often my go-to. I think this wallet is stunning and will be an incredible Christmas gift from the Groundcover Leather Company shop in Howick.”

“Apart from smelling amazing, this is such a nice gift for anyone to use, women and men! The Sheep Tallow is so soft and truly feels luxurious on the skin. After I’ve applied the cream, I cup my hands and just take a big whiff of the Rose Geranium and Lavender scents, they are so soothing. The best part is knowing all the ingredients are good for your skin. There are also other scents and Beef Tallow, too. Cannot recommend this enough.”

“If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas gift, Chocolate Heaven is an absolute must. Their chocolates are luxuriously creamy, made with the finest couverture, and each bite feels indulgent and unforgettable. From smooth milk chocolate to bold espresso and other unique flavours, there’s something to delight every taste. What makes them even more special is their eye-catching packaging – vibrant colours and artistic designs that look just as good under the tree as they taste on the tongue. A gift from Chocolate Heaven is not just chocolate, it’s a full festive experience.”
