I love Firebox, I think it was created to answer men’s prayers, and women’s endless question of what on earth to buy a man! 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:
1. Marshmallow Fluff – ok, not my fave, but you have to try this at least once in your life, besides which the texture always make laugh. Firebox have the original plus strawberry and raspberry, so plenty of flavour combos possible!
Giant Gummi Bear - yes, you're seeing that right!
2. Giant Gummi Bear – oh my word, you have to see these! Firebox are the first to have them in the UK and they are awesome looking! They’re a great gift for a Gummi Bear lover, not so sure about their foodie credentials, but they will surely be a talking point. Hoping they come in a box, otherwise they’re going to be a so and so to wrap up!
3. Decantus Wine Aerator – perfect for disorganised forgetful foodies (like me) who love their red wine, but forget to open it ahead of time. Perfect foodie gadget, sounds like it should work so you should get the best out of your wine.
4. Baconnaise – there’s bacon, there’s mayonnaise, and then there’s their bastard lovechild. Possibly worth trying once.
5. Garlic Zoom - a bit gimmicky, but a hands free way to get finely chopped garlic if your knife skills aren’t that great.
6. Sparkling Gold Cuvee – recession, what recession? Bring on the blinged up bubbles, just for the heck of it!
So, not great shakes from a true gourmets perspective, but some fun stuff, some interesting stuff and some stuff that is worth trying just once in your life! Now, bring on the Gummi Bear!
