FOOD & DRINK GIFT GUIDE! £15 AND UNDER X

Onto the food & drink section of stocking fillers!

Pug in A Mug Tea Infuser.

This first gift is mega cute! A "Pug in a mug" tea infuser from BOOTS for £5.00. You pull apart the pug and fill the belly with loose tea and then perch him on the side of the mug. Christmas is one of the times where you can justify buying something so simple but so cute for somebody. I'm sure there's plenty other designs of tea infusers but this one in particular I liked the most.

The second gift I'd suggest under the food & drink category (maybe more so for a man who, in my opinion, are 10x harder to buy for!) is a alcoholic-drink tasting selection. At BOOTS they have a "World larger selection" and a "Cider tasting selection" which includes 4 different drinks each for £10.00. As a stocking filler or maybe a Secret Santa present, this is the perfect price and a generic gift if you are unsure of what to buy!

Cocktail-making set.

Another alcohol-based present which is a little more fun is a cocktail shaker, syrup and accessories set from DEBENHAMS (and I'm sure many other places sell them) for £10.00. In the one I found you get a cocktail shaker with measurements marked on the sides, 6 straws, 4 glitter sticks and 3 syrups - cranberry, peach and lime flavoured margarita. £10.00 is a well-rounded price for a stocking filler or maybe a secret-santa present for someone who likes to get a bit merry over Christmas!

STARBUCKS Dusting Set.


The third gift I found which is very suited for this time of year is a STARBUCKS Dusting Set. For £10.00 you get 4 different hot-drink dustings; cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla and nutmeg. I'm pretty sure everyone's inclined towards a hot chocolate in the colder months and again, for a secret santa present, this could be a lovely little gift! 

STARBUCKS Stacking Mugs.

STARBUCKS also have the nicest Christmas mugs each year too. My favourite this year is the silver ceramic stacking mug which is £7.95. Some may think their mugs are over-priced and I wouldn't buy one any other time of the year or for myself but they make for a really nice present. 

In the picture to the right there is also a gold version of this mug but I can't seem to find it on their website!

The one thing it is acceptable to do over Christmas is eat a mountain of chocolate, yum. 

Christmas Dinner Slab.

Obviously there are plenty of chocolate gifts you can find in all of the supermarkets, THORNTONS, HOTEL CHOCOLAT etc, you are spoiled for choice. One traditional, cute design from hotel chocolat is this Christmas dinner slab which is simply milk chocolate but the design makes it very festive! You can purchase this one for £5.00.

Festive Christmas Wreath.

For someone who prefers their chocolate to have a little kick to it, HOTEL CHOCOLAT have a range of chilli-chocolates. They have 10 festive chilli-dark chocolate penguins for £7.00. They also have 6 gingerbread men cased in milk chocolate for £7.00. The designs of these are so sweet and I'd love to open one as a present on christmas day.

One last chocolate item, for those who have a particularly sweet tooth, is a Cookie & Caramel Christmas wreath from hotel chocolat for £7.00. "Generously studded with nibbly cocoa biscuits, shortbread biscuits and crisp caramelised Florentine squares" - YUM! Its a lovely present for a family to share between them (though I wouldn't judge anyone for having one all to themselves).
They also have a white chocolate version with pistachios and cranberries for a slightly more savoury taste.

Definitely have a look on the HOTEL CHOCOLAT website for all the amazing Christmas chocolates and sets they have this year! They have all kinds of flavours and designs and I think they look like a luxury-chocolate present when you open them.

With 10 days left till Christmas, I hope this has helped anyone struggling for those last few presents! 
Thank you for reading.
