Let's make this the Christmas we spread genuine joy and love. If you're like me, you want to give gifts that truly matter, but without the stress of overspending or the piles of packaging that come with traditional presents.
That's exactly why I created the Edible Gift Guide – to share some simple way to give thoughtful, homemade gifts that are kind to your budget AND the planet.
I’m the person who leaves it until the last minute, feels stressed about the whole process, and ends up buying something that doesn’t really feel personal or meaningful.
But while I'm a bit rubbish at BUYING things, I am excellent at cooking and baking... and infusing my food with love.
And if you're anything like me, you're the kind of person who loves receiving a jar of homemade chutney or a batch of freshly baked biscuits.
It clearly follows that what we love to receive, we also love to give. So if you're wondering what on earth to get those people who are hard to buy for, or looking for a way to add a thoughtful, homemade touch to your gifts this Christmas, then this guide is for you.
The Edible Gift Guide is packed with genuinely lovely ideas that you can whip up without any stress.
Whether you're in the mood for sweet treats, savoury snacks, or a bit of both, there’s something here for everyone.
Here's a sneak peek at what you’ll find inside:
Low effort ideas: Quick-to-make gifts like spice blends, flavour-packed salt rubs and prep-ahead breakfast jars – mix these up, pack them beautifully , and you’re done.
The ones for the chocolate lovers: A whole section on chocolate (let's face it, this is a section for me), including some familiar looky-likeys
A bit more effort: Because you'll need to put your oven on.
For most of the recipes I've included variations – hence the name 'Choose Your Own Adventure'! And to take the over-thinking away, I’ve thrown in some tips on packaging and presentation, so your edible creations look as good as they taste.
The Edible Gift Guide helps you create gifts that actually matter. Let's make this Christmas a little less about stuff and a lot more about spreading genuine joy and cheer.
