We near to the end of the year, only 78 days till Christmas (all the things that need to be done still) We share our guide to the all-important gift-giving, tis the season after all! These are great for family, friends, colleagues, secret Santa etc.  

Meringue Lollipops, go as crazy or straightforward as you like. Decorate with sprinkles, edible leaf, edible glitter, sweets, etc. They are super cute and easy. Its the same recipe as our meringue kisses

Turkish Delight, making it yourself is always better than buying shop-bought.

White Peppermint Bark, so easy, melt white chocolate and add peppermint extract. Pour onto a lined tray and decorate with candy canes and white and silver sprinkles. Snap into pieces and gift wrap in cellophane bags. 

Chocolate Dipped Madeleines, use our recipe to make the perfect batch. Dip in melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries. 

Christmas Cookies, you cannot go wrong with spiced Christmas cookies, make a tin full of stars, snowflakes, gingerbread, candy cane, and mini cookies.

Snowman Spoons, a cool idea made with marshmallows, pretzels, melted chocolate and candy canes. Pack with some hot chocolate. 

Chocolate Dipped Pretzels, what's not to love about the combination of sweet and salty. Decorate with coloured sprinkles.

Peppermint Oreo Kisses, chocolate-filled crushed candy cane truffles. Sounds yummy, use our easy, no-bake oreo truffle recipe for this one.

Eggnog Pancake Mix, perfect for those early risers who have enough energy for brunch on boxing day. 

Caramel Crunch, anything coated in caramel is a winner, peanuts, popcorn, buy a lovely tin to serve it up in. 

Mini Gingerbread Cheesecakes, present in a beautiful festive tin, with some tissue paper and tinsel. 

Gingerbread Rolls, everyone's favourite breakfast, just got to make sure someone wakes up early to make it.

Holiday Fudge, so easy to make with carnation condensed milk. Flavour with peppermint, gingerbread, eggnog, or even mulled wine. Use white, milk or dark chocolate. Colour the white chocolate using our chocolate oils. 

Classic Apple Tart, the earthy flavours of ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon, comfort food with a side of vanilla ice cream. But this year, go the extra mile and flambe with some calvados! Jizz up a simple dessert, the adults, will thank you for it! 

Reindeer Macarons, sometimes a bit tricky, but once you get it right, they are the best! Decorate with red and black sugarpaste and pretzels. Draw on the macarons with an edible pen.
