Getting ready for Valentine’s Day

January 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Chinese Food, Foodie gifts, Valentine's Day gifts, Wine

Is there anyone, with the exception of card and lingerie manufacturers, who really loves Valentine’s Day? My particular pet hate is “special” menus for the evening, having being scarred by a Chinese restaurant experience in my earlier years. The pudding of perpetual delight was nothing close to its billing! I would think most food lovers [...]

Healthy foodie gifts

December 10th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Baking, Christmas foodie gifts, Cookbooks, Foodie gadgets, Foodie gifts, Kitchenwares, Places to shop online, Sweet treats, Wine

I am not sure why, but there aren’t so many foodie gift lists come out of the UK, most seem to come out of the US. It’s possibly down to the fact they use the word more, but then I’m not sure what the English (UK) alternative is, as gourmet, epicure and gourmand always feel [...]

December 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Beer & Lager, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Friday Five, Spirits, Wine

I’ve written quite a few posts on the Christmas gifts on offer from some of the High Street, so I think it’s time to have a look at a source for more unusual and unique gift options. Not On the High Street was a welcome addition to the online shopping world a couple of years [...]

We’re obviously running into pre-Christmas discounting time as offers seem to fly in every day.

Wine for the people?

October 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Foodie things to do, New food launches, Uncategorized, Wine

Wandering through the twitterverse early on Sunday morning, I saw a tweet from Dom Burch, who is head of Corporate Communications at Asda, about a wine that they had created with The Sun. Now, I’ll be honest, my immediate reaction was that this probably wasn’t going to be wine I would love. Dom offered to [...]

October 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Alcohol free drinks, Beer & Lager, British favourites, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Healthy eating, Places to shop online, Wine

I realised when I had published yesterday’s post that there were other old foodie friends that we stopped by at the East Mids Food Festival, with one of them being Belvoir Fruit Farms. I know they are quite literally just up the road, but still we came back with 3 different bottles. If you’ve not [...]

Their range has continued to grow, and there are some interesting options for gifts for foodies, and not just in the gadget department. Here’s my top choices of new stuff from them: [...]

The catalogues cometh, part one!

September 27th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Cheese, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gadgets, Foodie gifts, Fruit & Veg, Kitchenwares, Naff presents, Places to shop online, Wine

Ah, September. Month of mist and mellow fruitfulness. And catalogues. Yes, an almost daily deluge in our house, driven by my addiction to online shopping and from my work on ProblemPresents.com in the past. Some are good, some are bad, and some are laugh out loud awful. But what about if you’re trying to find [...]
