Words by Samantha Wellard


While it may feel a little early to deck the halls and trim the tree, there’s something to be said for getting ahead on gift buying. After all, if your list is complete by December 1st, there’s more time to eat, drink and be merry. A thoughtful food gift is always warmly received, and our curated edit caters to everyone – from glass-clinkers to late-night snackers. 

Best Gifts for a Sweet Tooth

From nuts for nibbling to biscuits for dunking, a little something sweet will always tantalise the palate. 

Harrods Chocolate Hazelnuts

There truly is no flavour crowd-pleaser like the indulgent combination of crunchy hazelnuts enrobed in smooth chocolate, which puts the Harrods Chocolate Hazelnuts at the top of our wish list. This elevates indulgence with a mix of milk, white and dark chocolate coverings. Plus, The Chocolate Hall’s iconic packaging saves you the trouble of wrapping – simply top the box with a festive bow. 

Harrods Scottish All-Butter Classic & Chocolate Chip Shortbread Miniatures

Many a festive season has been punctuated by a tin of shortbread, whose delicate contents perfectly welcome guests alongside a steaming cup of tea. 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 the iconic Terracotta Palace.

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. Not sure how they like their brew? Our essential tea guide will help you choose the best blend.


Harrods No. 14 English Breakfast Tea Bags

While the correct way to make a cup of tea might cause some debate – milk first, or water? – there’s one thing we can all agree on: a soothing cup of English Breakfast tea is the perfect way to start the day. The Harrods No. 14 Breakfast Tea masterfully blends four distinct leaf varieties for a unique yet unmistakable flavour, while the tin adds a touch of Harrods elegance to any kitchen.  

Harrods Signature Coffee Beans

Every coffee order is as unique as your giftee, so presenting them with coffee beans allows them to personalise their brew – be it espresso, cappuccino or iced coffee. Sourced from the rolling landscapes of Indonesia, the Harrods Signature Coffee Beans are roasted in-house by our resident experts, so each cup is left with a full-bodied profile and earthy undertones.  

Best Gourmet Savoury Gifts

If their preserve collection leans more towards pickles than jams, a savoury gift is in order – think everything from rich umami to tangy cheese.  

Leonardi Il Patriarca 30-Year-Old Balsamic Vinegar

Every kitchen deserves a good balsamic vinegar, and the Leonardi Il Patriarca 30-Year-Old is no ordinary choice. Aged in a variety of wooden barrels for three decades, it carries depth and velvety smoothness so refined it could even be sipped at the end of a meal as a digestif. 

Harrods Festive Piccalilli

For something that’ll immediately transform their festive fayre, the Harrods Festive Piccalilli is an excellent addition to their evening cheeseboard. Filled to the brim with crunchy vegetables in a spicy mustard sauce and finished with a hint of dry gin, this recipe blends the traditional with the unexpected for a gift sure to delight.  

Best Drinks Gifts for a Festive Toast

An impeccably chosen bottle of something special will always get them in the spirit, and our collection has every moment covered, from morning Bucks Fizz to cocktail hour. Expect best-in-class Champagnes, fine wines and more. Need inspiration? Discover the best Champagnes for every occasion, including bottles perfect for gifting. 

Suntory Roku Gin

Traditionalists, look away – while bubbles may be the classic choice for Christmas, we’d argue a fine bottle of spirits is equally deserving of the spotlight. Enter: Suntory’s Roku Gin. Crafted by skilled artisans, this blend is infused with six Japanese botanicals, including cherry blossom, green tea and sansho pepper, to create the perfect balance between spiciness and floral notes. Every sip reflects the very best that nature has to offer, with ingredients from each of the four seasons picked at their peak freshness. 

Harrods Brut Premier Cru Non-Vintage Champagne

Champagne will never fail to make a thoughtful gift – especially at a time when toasts are being made, and glasses are being raised. Produced by Laurent Hostomme, a fifth-generation family winemaker, the Harrods Brut Premier Cru Champagne is a superb all-rounder; dry, elegant and delicate, this blend makes the perfect aperitif to their festive feast. 

Best Stocking Filler Gifts

Think small but perfectly formed treats that can be slipped into a stocking swung from the mantel – a delightful morsel from Father Christmas himself.  

Harrods Milk Chocolate Bars

Move over, clementines – chocolate is the thing we’re all hoping for in our stocking this December. Smooth and decadent, this trio of Harrods Milk Chocolate Bars is destined to be eaten Christmas morning, perhaps even before they’ve changed out of their pyjamas.  

Harrods Raspberry Trifle Jam

A vibrant jam is always a welcome gift for a foodie, and Harrods Raspberry Trifle Jam offers a delightful twist on a classic. Juicy berries are layered with notes of creamy vanilla custard, transforming New Year breakfasts into a dessert-worthy experience. Why not mix and match with other curds and jams to create a bespoke gift that’ll bring new life to their morning toast?
