The Melitta Barista SE | £549

We all know someone who spends a small fortune each month on their coffee shop indulgences! You’ll save them a fortune in the long run by bringing coffee shop quality home to their kitchen with a Melitta Barista SE – a super stylish bean-to-cup machine for coffee lovers. There’s a whopping 18 coffee specialities pre-programmed into the machine including espresso, cafe creme, cappucino and latte macchiato – all available at the touch of a button. Using the ‘Italian Preparation Process’, Melitta’s machines prep the ingredients in the correct order using an original Italian recipe for the most authentic of coffee experiences. Buying for someone who’ll be sharing their coffee machine? The Melitta Barista SE makes that easy with four individual profiles so you can have your coffee just the way you like it every time. Meanwhile, a dual chamber bean select makes switching between bean varieties super easy – if for example you like a decaf and a strong. This is one of the quietest machines on the market meaning your early morning coffee ritual won’t disturb anyone else. Buy now from the Melitta website.

Hampton & Astley 500 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Bedding | From £218.99

For the household who seem to have everything, Hampton & Astley is one of those website’s you’ll end up browsing for way longer than you thought because EVERYTHING is so gorgeous. Give the gift of five star hotel luxury with cotton sateen bedsheets, duvet and pillow cases which are made from premium 500 thread cotton count. With a silky smooth finish that isn’t too slippery but just feels like the perfect level of luxe, we love the pure white which will elevate any bedroom with timeless appeal, but the subtle grey also looks stunning.

Different sizes are available ranging from double right up to emperor, and we loved the ruched edges on the bedsheets so they do actually stay on your bed! The duvet is also really heavy for a sumptuous feel – even when you’ve still got your thinner duvet on , giving an elevated comfort experience which you just don’t get with other duvet sets.

Don’t just take our word for it, Hampton & Astley have won several ‘best bedding’ awards from The Telegraph, Expert Reviews, GQ, Evening Standard, T3, GLAMOUR, Ideal Home and Your Home. A delicious night’s sleep guaranteed! Shop the range here.

Gonnelli Profumo D’Oliva Olive Oil | £65.55 for 500ml

This limited edition early harvest extra virgin olive oil is something truly special and will make an absolutely gorgeous Christmas gift – it’s also one of The Olive Boffins top Christmas picks and they know a thing or two about olive oil! Produced in Tuscany, we recommend making a delicious batch of fresh bread and dipping direct, but it’s also divine over fresh potatoes or green veg, or even over ice cream (we’ve tried it and it’s a must!) With an aromatic bouquet of fresh almond and artichoke, its rich herbaceous notes have a luscious peppery finish. The sophisticated, stylish bottle will look stunning on any kitchen worktop – it almost looks like a perfume bottle, it’s so ornate. Available in 200ml or 500ml bottles, buy it here from The Olive Boffin.

NEUHAUS Panettone | £45 (750g)

Crafted in Piedmont an d housed in a collectible tin featuring the Wrapping Up the Year Christmas design, its traditional heritage recipe leads with leavened sourdough for a light and airy texture. And if that doesn’t sound good enough, it’s also laden generously with luscious Belgian chocolate pieces, with toasted hazelnuts, almonds and pistachios to finish. There’s no dried fruit in this one (which puts a lot of people off panettone), just plenty of indulgent, luxurious ingredients. Hotfoot it here to purchase.

Fudge Kitchen Christmas Gift Bag | £23

Naturally, when Fudge Kitchen’s Christmas Gift Bag landed on the doorstep, we had to give them a try. They actually caused an argument in our house over who nabbed the last one – trust us, they are THAT good. The packaging is lovely and festive, the price point is excellent, and the fudge itself is truly delicious. Along with the gift bag, you can also personalise a message to come with the pack making it a great gift for friends, colleagues or teachers.

Grab Stellar’s classic knife block at the moment for only £49.99 which is better than half price without compromising at all on quality. We love this set in beechwood as it’s a wonderful warm shade and will blend into most kitchens, making an understated statement when placed beside the cooker. The blades on this 5 piece knife set are super sharp and feature corrosion resistant tempered steel blades so they’ll stay sharp too. Comfortable, shaped handles mean you won’t get hand cramps when prepping big feasts, and ranging from the 9cm pairing knife right up to the 21cm bread knife means you get a great choice of blades to work with.
