Not how I want to do my bargain hunting!

I think it’s possibly a little later than last year, but there seem to be a lot of last minute offers flying in from my favourite online sources for great foodie gifts. Rather than a raft of short posts I thought I would pull them all together in one post, so that you could get everything out of the way at once. Look, it’s that or face the crowds, and I know which I would rather do!

1. For foodie stocking fillers, I would check out Getting Personal for things like personalised Food Lovers calendar, a personalised Great Taste Award winning chocolate pudding or a personalised apron. This is a great place for fun, but not tacky, stuff for all members of the family, and friends, and price range means you can get something interesting for under £10. If you spend over £100, then you get 15% off, enter FIFTEEN at checkout.

2. For a huge range of unique, unusual and tasty foodie gifts, then check out the Deal of the Day page over on Big Barn. From beef boxes to vegan chocolate cakes, Loch Leven tablet to meaty sausages, there really is something for everybody. The other plus point would be that your gift would be supporting artisanal producers around the country, which is a great gift for everyone. Check in daily for new offers.

3. I really love the collection put together by the team at Jamie Oliver, and right now if you spend over £35 delivery is free. These are a bit different to things available under Jamie’s name elsewhere on the High Street, and there’s some great choices. For under £10, there are some very stylish tea towels and notebooks, and for under £20 I love the worm food compost bucket, and the I Love Olives gift set. Even though I don’t!

4. Cook in Style is a great online source for kitchen gadgets and gizmos, big and small. Not only do you get free delivery when you spend over £75, but you also get a free gift worth £15. So, that’s either two gifts for the price of one, or one for them and one for you! If they really wanted a breadmaker, this may be a good time to get it!

5. It wouldn’t be Christmas without chocolate, and Chocolate Trading Co is one of my favourite sources for unusual, good quality chocolate. They are offering 10% off between now and December 8th, enter code santa in the shopping basket. If you’re not too sure what to order, then there are some great new chocolates on offer from them, post here.

6. Not so much a gift for someone else, but a gift to whoever is responsible for the lunch on Christmas Day, the Christmas meal boxes at Natoora are fabulous. All the thinking is done, the recipe is there and right now there is 10% off the boxes and everything else that you orderwhen you put one of these in the basket. Valid until 20 December, so it would ensure you don’t go hungry on Christmas Day, and you can stock up on great gifts, such as Rococo Chocolates, some Prosecco on standby and a huge piece of Parmesan.

7. There are guys everywhere secretly hankering after a home brew kit, so make his day this year! The Online Homebrew Company are offering a Woodfordes Wherry Micro Brewery, which would allow you to brew 40 pints as a starting point. But right now he can get well brewed up for New Year’s Eve as they are offering an extra Wherry Kit with each one. So that would be 80 pints. That would be some hangover!

So a lucky 7 of bargains that would hopefully keep you in the warmth at home, rather than heading out into the cold to battle with the crowds. Possibly more to come though I would guess before the festive season is upon us.
