Top 3 Christmas Gifts For Foodies
By Katrina Lander
My favourite time of the year is just around the corner; cosy evenings indoors, hearty meals and plenty of Christmas songs to be listened to, I personally can’t wait.
It can be difficult to know what to get for your family and friends at the best of times, but what do you get for the foodie that seems to have all the kitchen accessories? This is where I come in, I have put together my top 3 Cole & Mason Christmas gifts for foodies, which I guarantee will be ideal for anyone who has a passion for food and cooking.
Christmas Salt & Pepper Gift Box Sets
Before I talk about the actual product, I need to talk about the actual gift box, because let’s be honest, it’s the little things that make a difference right? I adore fancy and elegant gift wrapping and boxes, and these box sets have just that. The boxes have a minimalist design and ooze sophistication. It doesn’t stop there, once opened, the items in the box are presented elegantly, cushioned by black tissue paper.
Now onto the actual products: with a choice from the iconic London or Hoxton mill designs, available in a range of luxurious finishes and colours (my personal favourite are the London gloss wood mills in red, because the colour shouts Christmas and makes a bold statement on my dining table). The sets also come complete with salt & pepper refills and a sleek funnel, offering a sophisticated set.
In addition to the above, the London stained wood mills set includes a ceramic spoon rest – the foodie accessory you never knew you needed. For anyone who is always in the kitchen cooking, the spoon rest offers a decorative element to the kitchen counter whilst practically keeping surfaces free from sauces, oils and other foodie spills.
Prices range from £56 - £96.

Barkway Acacia Wooden Chopping Board:
The most perfect wooden chopping board, that is too beautiful to use for just chopping food on. The natural grain of the acacia wood adds an additional attractive touch making it great to use all year round as a serving platter to display foods such as cheese, meats, fruits, bread and crackers (mine always makes an appearance when hosting). The board is available in 3 sizes: small, medium and large, I personally get the most use from the medium sized board.
It’s naturally water-resistant making it easy to clean with a simple hand wash and air dry.
The prices range from £25 for the smaller board - £35 for the largest.

Ashden Acacia Mezzaluna Hachoir Herb & Chopping Board:
It’s in my top 3 for a few reasons: it looks classy and elegant as well as being practical, it’s not something you find in everyone’s kitchen (I personally love anything more unique) and it’s priced under £50.
If you are looking to buy for someone who frequently cooks with herbs, garlics and nuts, this is the perfect specialised piece to surprise them with. The mezzaluna’s super sharp, curved stainless steel blade and comfortable turned wood handles allows you to rock back and forth allowing for easier and more efficient chopping.
The product itself is visually appealing to serve as both a functional tool and a decorative piece.
