One of my favourite things about Christmas is the food! Come on, who wouldn't agree? When else can we eat chocolate every single day of the month (advent calendars), and scoff our faces in tubs of Christmas chocolates without feeling guilty? Let's not forget the turkey and all the trimmings on the big day too - yum!

Food gifting is one of my favourite things to gift, because everyone loves food in some kind of way - you can't go wrong! Whether it's treating your other half to a favourite of their bottle of wine, buying your uncle a cookbook so he can finally master the art of cooking, or spoiling your best mate to a hamper full of their favourite sweeties and chocolate. Whilst food gifting options are endless (I had to decline so many offers for this guide, as I'll be here forever!), I hope you enjoy the 'foodie' related gift items I've put together below.
