Best Christmas Gifts for a Sweet Tooth

From nuts for nibbling to biscuits for dunking, Christmas calls for a little sweet treat.

Harrods Salted Caramel Almonds

Judging by the nearly 100,000 boxes we sell every year, you're well aware of the tantalising pleasures of Harrods Cocoa-Dusted Almonds. But as the festive season approaches, we're turning our attention to their slightly sweeter cousin, Harrods Salted Caramel Almonds. The thick, flavoured chocolate coating around each bite makes it impossible to stop at one.

Harrods Shortbread Miniatures

Baked exclusively for Harrods by a Scottish family-run bakery, this mix of classic and chocolate-studded shortbread receives the true Harrodian treatment in a green tin, finished with our iconic terracotta palace. This makes a charming Christmas gift and, with any luck, the recipient will open the box in your company and serve with a cup of tea.

Best Aspiring Barista Gifts: Tea, Coffee and Hot Chocolate

Whether they’ve mastered the perfect espresso or find comfort in a mug of tea, a new addition to their hot-beverage rotation is sure to be savoured as we look towards Christmas. Not sure how they like their brew? Our essential tea guide and coffee guide will help you choose the best blend.


Harrods 66% Bolivian Dark Hot Chocolate

Combining the richness of dark chocolate with the smooth sweetness of milk, our single-origin 66% Bolivian Dark Hot Chocolate strikes the perfect balance. One of nine indulgent flavours, it offers notes of dark brown sugar, molasses and toffee, resulting in a mellow, caramel-like profile that's wonderfully comforting. For the chocolate lover who falls somewhere between milk and dark, it's an easy crowd-pleaser. Pair with a beautifully crafted mug for a gift that's guaranteed to warm both hands and hearts.

Harrods Knightsbridge Coffee Blend

Presented in a beautifully illustrated tin, our Harrods Knightsbridge Blend looks just as good on the kitchen countertop as it tastes in the cup, with artwork inspired by the flora and fauna of the beans’ origins. Notes of creamy milk chocolate, sweet nougat and light malt come together in a delightfully festive profile, equally suited to serving black or with milk. You’ll also find six other blends, including decaf, each available ground and in Nespresso-compatible pods – so there’s something to gift every coffee connoisseur.

Best Savoury Christmas Gifts

If their preserve collection leans more towards pickles than jams, a savoury pantry staple is in order. Think everything from truffle-infused olive oils to those all-important Christmas condiments.

Harrods Christmas Savoury Condiment Selection

It’s all very well being the hostess with the mostest – but what about the guest with the best taste? This festive condiment trio is guaranteed to earn its place at the table, from the all-important Cranberry Sauce for Christmas dinner to Christmas Spiced Mustard slathered in leftover turkey sandwiches, and Boxing Day Chutney spooned generously onto a cheeseboard. Consider your gift for the host sorted.

Truffle Guys Luxury Truffle Slices

These Luxury Truffle Slices by Truffle Guys are what we like to call a ‘gourmet cheat’. Preserved in extra-virgin olive oil, a small amount will impart that unmistakable earthy depth to pasta, risotto or eggs, transforming the simplest of dishes into a festive feast worthy of the occasion.

Best Christmas Drinks Gifts: Wine, Champagne, Spirits and Alternatives

A little something to sip is a must in any foodie’s collection, whether it’s poured to complement a meal or toast with friends. From wine and Champagne to spirits and non-alcoholic drinks, our selection has something clink-worthy for every recipient this Christmas.

Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2 2008

Few Champagne houses (if any) carry quite the same aura as Dom Pérignon, and this exceptional expression from the legendary 2008 vintage is a fitting reminder of why. Fresh, vibrant and beautifully silky, it unfolds with notes of candied lemon, bergamot and white peach, all balanced by subtle hints of cocoa and roasted coffee. When the biggest toast of the festive season calls, only the best will do. One sip and you'll swear you're tasting the stars.

Harrods Smoke & Spice Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Calling all whisky lovers: we’ve released our very own collection of single malts, crafted by the Loch Lomond Group. The Smoke & Spice blend truly is Christmas in a bottle, boasting layered aromas of baking spice, dried fruit, toasted oak and honey. While new to the scene, it’s a must in any serious whisky collection.
