Not sure what to get your friends, family or colleagues for Christmas?

Here are a few fun ideas to help and you might even want to treat yourself!

 

Great Tasting Homemade Gifts:

What better way to say you care and keep the spending down than to make your own delicious gifts. Some great ideas that are easy to make but will definately impress are:

Homemade Fudge Squares - make a batch of quick and easy chocolate fudge, cut it into squares and pack into some stylish bags tied with ribbon.

Cookies or Biscuits - Make your favorite cookies and place them in a great looking box with some colourful paper.

Preserves - These are quite easy to make and you can play around with any flavours you like. Buy some nice jam jars and create your own labels with a personalised message for each person.

Flavoured Oil - Use some tall elegant bottles and fill them with olive oil mixed with some great flavours. Use dried chillies, garlic or herbs like rosemary for something a bit different.

Grow a Gift:

For a gift with a difference how about some really cute herbs and plants that come in their own sealed bags containing specially formulated compost and seeds. All you need to do is cut them open, add water and watch them grow.

Simply Sumptuous Cooking Class Gift Voucher:

For the gift that keeps on giving we offer beautifully presented gift vouchers for all our classes. Once they have been to the class you can invite yourself over for a demo of all the dishes they made. Just let us know which value class you’d like the voucher for and we’ll do the rest.

Order a Hamper or Make Your Own

People love to be spoilt and be given something they wouldn’t buy for themselves so how about putting together some real foodie treats in a basket or box. You can pretty it up by stuffing it with delicate paper and tying a ribbon around it. For an easier option just order one on line there are lots of companies out there that do them.
If you are making your own then some ideas to fill it are some great olive oil, balsamic vingear, cheese selection, bottle of wine, crackers, their favorite special chocolates, even some fresh fruits can be a nice touch.

New Kitchen Equipment:

The Chefs Tool Box offer a great range of kitchen equipment, there is bound to be something for eveyone. The best part is you can also get 10% off all orders by using the code ‘SIMPLY1′ when ordering.

Cook Books

This is one of my favourite gifts as I love looking through new recipes and getting inspiration. There are so many great books out there from how to do the basics to more gourmet meals. Get down to your nearest book store to have a look through the mouth watering options. 

Book a Private Cooking Class for you and your closest friends:

What a great way to celebrate, coming together to have fun while learning some new recipes and kitchen tips. At the end of the class you can all sit down together to enjoy what you’ve made while sipping on a glass of wine.

15% discount for bookings of 6 people or more if you mention the Christmas newsletter.
