Christmas can be a stressful time; there’s gifts, parties, and guests to contend with before you can settle down to enjoy your day. Here at Kitchen Table Projects we know that food can be the answer to pretty much any problem and, luckily, our Amazing Artisans have the perfect solutions for a whole range of Christmas dilemmas! Read on to find out some of their Christmas lifesavers.
Gifts
No foodie can get overly-excited by a bog-standard Christmas Hamper. If you know what your foodie likes, why not narrow it down and give them a themed box?
- Spice Kitchen have put together this elegant spice gift set, wrapped in a handmade silk cover. What budding chef would say no to finding one of these under the tree?
- And for the tea drinker, why not get them one of these gift boxes from Luponde. The boxes are packed with 6 classic flavours such as Earl Grey, Peppermint, Camomile and, of course, their ‘Finest Orthodox Black tea’.
- For the health conscious foodie, moral fibre have put together an exciting range of their products in a special Christmas Box, which can be sent with a handwritten message. Perfect if you can’t give the gift in person.
- And the foodie with a sweet tooth? They’ve got their very own box from BakedIn, who have put together a ‘Chocolate Lover’s Delight’ box full of their chocolate themed baking kits.

Stocking Stuffers and Smaller Gifts
If a whole kit seems a bit much, you can pick up smaller gifts. Bakedin offer all components of their kit as separate items, and this ‘Chocolate Mug Brownies’ kit is perfect for an indulgent stocking stuffer or small gift. Or go for a more seasonal gift with this ‘Little Gingerbread Baking Kit’ from Cookie Crumbles. Get it early and make some gingerbread men to hang on your tree.
If you prefer a more ‘grown-up’ treat, Spice Kitchen have also put together a mulled wine stocking stuffer. Keep a bottle of wine handy and persuade your foodie to try it out on Christmas afternoon.
Of course, not all foodie gifts need to be edible! Stick one of these Macaroon keyrings in their stocking and they’ll think of you every time they head out the door.
Popping in on someone?
It’s never great to show up to a Christmas party empty handed, but it can seem uninspired to show up with yet another bottle. Avoid doing so and stock up on some sweet treats to keep in the cupboard and simply pick up as you head out to yet another Christmas party. Hand one of these over when you get to the door and they’ll be sure to thank you for not adding to the growing pile of alcohol.
Benjamin Chocolatier’s ‘Chocolate Bark’ makes for a really elegant gift. The bark comes in a range of flavours including Salted Pecan Praline, White Chocolate and Raspberry and Sour Cherry, so there’s something to suit every palate.
Or if you just can’t depart entirely from the booze, why don’t you go for a chocolate box from Choctails? Their selections include Aperitif, Classic Cocktails and After Dinner boxes, and there’s an option to make your own selection.
Or entertaining?
Entertaining at Christmas can also prove tricky. The house can get busy and noisy, especially if you have kids around. Sometimes all you want to do is settle down with a warm drink around a Christmas film. Our Amazing Artisans have some great products to help you do just that.
Why not make the kids evening special, and keep the noise down for a bit, by popping a few of these made-for-melting marshmallows from Belinda Clark into some hot chocolate on Christmas Eve? You can add some brandy to another to leave an extra special gift for Santa with his mince pie.
Rather Santa didn’t drink and drive? The Tea People have put together three Christmas themed teas in a delicious Christmas Pack. Leave him a ‘Spicy Apple Tea’ or a ‘Mulled Wine Darjeeling’ to send him on his way in a more mannerly fashion. Its also great for any tee-total guests or simply just to wind down at the end of the day.
Merry Christmas from all of us here at Kitchen Table Projects!
