Sweets for your sweets

December 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Beer & Lager, Chocolate, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Sweet treats

Last week got a bit healthy in places, so it’s back to the sweet stuff! I wish I didn’t have a sweet tooth, but I do. Generally it likes to be fed good quality chocolate, but just occasionally it will wander over the naff side. If you’ve got a sweet-toothed sweetie to buy for, here’s [...]

November in review – all about the Christmas prep

December 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Alcohol free drinks, Baking, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Kitsch cooking, Naff presents, Places to shop online

Another month gone, and we’re getting so close to Christmas now. After last month’s obsession with unusual foodstuffs like the Gummi Bear, this month has swung into full on gift searching, but at a more general level. And then the usual array of odd searches that cause me amazement, bewilderment and the odd giggle or [...]

Would you buy a hamper?

October 6th, 2009 · 3 Comments · British favourites, Cheese, Christmas foodie gifts, Fish & Seafood, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Savoury gifts, Sweet treats

It’s getting to that time of year when I get inundated with emails about hampers, and I often wonder who buys them. There’s the big corporate buyers, and I would think that a good hamper would be well received by many people. Even if you didn’t get the whole hamper, everyone on a team could get [...]
