Cuisipro Fine Rasp Grater
At a recent cooking demo for our Amici (guest who have been on at least one of our holidays) almost everyone bought the hadny grater. The comments since being that they can’t imagine cooking without it!
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.

Its contents includes pesto alla genovese, nduja, dried pasta, crisp flatbreads, ground coffee, amaretti biscuits, and a bottle of Prosecco to boot.

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.
