Foodie presents and other Christmas treats

I wanted to post for you some nice seasonal foodie items that might be good ideas as Christmas presents or as treats for yourself. And once again I hope that my family members aren't reading the blog right now, as there may be some spoilers!

I already treated myself with this gorgeous cotton and pine bouquet. I will be in Finland for Christmas, but I still wanted to decorate my flat here in England a bit as well. Of course the Christmas lights have already been up since the first advent.


So here are some nice products that I have spotted and tried. Roasted salted nuts with a hint of hickory smoke are quite special, excellent nuts, but and all sorts of other nuts are perfect at Christmas as well.



I accidentally bumped into these Finnish style Danish sea salt liquorice and obviously had to buy them as a friend of all things liquorice.


Why not have some lightly salted Christmas tree tortilla chips or winter berries & prosecco crisps? The prosecco crisps really surprised me. They have edible gold stars on them as decoration and have quite a nice prosecco fizz in the taste. 



Vegetarian pies of all sorts are brilliant seasonal food and I just love the Christingle pie by Pieminister. It's a roast parsnip, Cheddar, leek and chestnut pie and very comforting.


Mulled wine and cider are things that I refuse to celebrate any winter fests without. Okay, maybe it's not quite that extreme, but they are nice warming drinks.



Chocolate, what shall I say... there will be plenty of it around and who can resist: pralines, drinking chocolate, chocolate spread – is that enough chocolate for now?





Nice labels, ribbons and wrapping paper are almost the best thing about Christmas and I found many cute animal themed things again this year!


This was just a quick compilation of some products, of course homemade presents are still unbeatable. Are you going to give food presents this year?

All I want for Christmas is moo?

I want to avoid commercial Christmas as far as I can, but isn't it nice to buy presents for your loved ones once a year? I've now been so busy that I'm badly behind with the present shopping. I have a few, but more are needed. Luckily online shopping is quite effortless.

I have collected here practical and quirky kitchen and dining items that I happen to find attractive at the moment. They are not too expensive either.

When I make such posts, I don't collaborate with any of the companies and this is not an ad. These are just my own desired items that have basically caught my eye. There are also millions of other good items out there that you can buy, but I'm definitely getting that Moomin mug for Christmas!
