Irresistible Italian Christmas Gifts

Christmas Gifts for Foodies: Cakes, chocolates, hampers and stocking fillers – buy or pre-order for delivery now!

If you’re looking for some tasty, original and good looking gifts, why not browse our Christmas food and pre-order / buy now to ensure you don’t miss out! Each year Fabrizio trawls his Italian artisanal suppliers to find the most delicious treats wrapped in paper and ribbon and they make for lovely presents. We have lots of chocolates and traditional sweets for you to choose from, led by the Italian classics: Ricciarelli (almond cookies), Panettone, Panforte and Pandoro (Christmas cakes), Torrone (nougat) and Cantuccini (hard almond biscuits perfect for dipping in alcohol!).

Italian Christmas Cakes

Italians will be gifting their cakes all through December, eating generous slices for breakfast, or mid-afternoon with a glass of Vin Santo. The cakes have become increasingly popular in UK supermarkets over the years, however if you’ve never tried an artisanal cake, we advise you to give it a try. They’re a proper treat and they look great too.

Our favourite is a good Pandoro (‘bread of gold’). For many though, the taste of Christmas is Panettone (large bread), the candied treat wrapped in that brown and gold paper – yet what about the round, hard discs of fruit and nuts; Panforte (‘strong bread’). Each has their own merits.

Personalised Gift Hampers

All this Christmas food looks great in a hamper. We’ve been running a successful personalised gift hamper service for some years now. You only pay for the food that you choose and the hamper materials (£4.95). There is no extra mark-up. Once you’ve chosen your food we’ll lay out your gifts on rafia and dress the hamper so that you have a present that is as unique as the recipient.

All these gifts and hampers are available now in our shop on St George’s Street, Norwich or in our online shop; we can deliver anywhere in NR1-7.
