The Best Luxury Food Gifts

Straight from the shelves of The Chocolate Hall – our world-famous confectionery emporium – comes this generously sized truffle collection. The new selection unveils an enticing assortment of flavours including smoked salted caramel, milk chocolate, Madagascan vanilla, hazelnut praline and raspberry, with each one hand-decorated by skilled English chocolatiers. 

Judging by the nearly 100,000 boxes opened last year, a gift of milk-chocolate raspberries is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. These bite-sized treats strike the perfect balance of fruity and indulgent, with each crisp, freeze-dried raspberry wrapped in smooth milk chocolate – expertly crafted by German chocolatiers. 

Earl Grey tea is renowned for its subtle citrus taste; it’s been a fixture in kitchen cupboards and morning rituals for centuries. A delightful evolution of the traditional drink, our No. 41 Summer Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea is a vibrant reimagining of the classic, marrying the bright notes of bergamot with the sweetness of strawberries for a refreshment that’s perfect for summer sipping.

If a Nespresso machine is the most prized possession on their countertop, why not wrap up our coffee pod gift set? It features four Arabica coffee blends, including our renowned Knightsbridge Roast, freshly roasted and packaged right in our historic store, as well as our Signature Blend, Continental Blend and Breakfast Blend. With this quartet of flavour profiles, they can satisfy every caffeine craving – whether it’s an extra chocolatey mocha or a rich, nutty latte.

Give the gift of an at-home tasting with Giuseppe Giusti’s Monolegni set – three aged balsamic vinegars, each matured in a single wood cask. Juniper adds bold aroma, oak brings richness and vanilla, while cherry lends warmth and subtle sweetness. Each bottle is finished with a replica of Giusti’s original 17th-century wax seal.

Sourced directly from the Shropshire moors, this strong, aromatic British Ling Heather honey captures the floral intensity of its namesake plant. Highly prized for its rich amber colour and jelly-like texture, it delivers a complex flavour profile of bitter-sweet caramel and stone fruit – perfect on a buttered crumpet.

If your giftee has a penchant for blush, introduce them to Hanikon Côtes de Provence Rosé. Crafted at Domaine La Rouillère, a skip and a jump from Saint-Tropez, it’s a relative newcomer on the rosé scene. The grapes are harvested exclusively between the hours of 1am and 8am – cooler hours that help preserve the wine’s natural freshness. The result is a light, lively rosé with delicate notes of raspberry and white peach.

With the rise of fine ferments and sparkling teas, alcohol-free gifting is no longer a compromise. Saicho’s limited-edition Sixty Stone Mountain tea – uniquely numbered and beautifully boxed – is made with rare black tea from Taiwan’s Hualien County. Expect rich notes of dark honey, mango, apricot and lemon, with hints of pear, grilled pineapple and cedarwood smoke.

Experienced hosts – think Laura Jackson or Alexandra Dudley – understand the quiet power of beautiful tableware. The Soho Home Masen tongs and salad servers, with scalloped stainless steel and carved bamboo handles, bring a stylish flourish to even the simplest seasonal salads. 

A beautifully appointed table commands attention just as much as the dishes it frames. Maison Margaux’s Suzani tablecloth sets the scene for a memorable dining experience with intricate, hand-embroidery that speaks of artisan skill, while its deep, vibrant hues lend an effortless sophistication to a summer dinner party.
