A few more sales have popped up, with some good choices for foodie gifts at better prices. Just remember nothing is a bargain if you don’t want or need it, or won’t absolutely love it, or it won’t invoke the same feelings in the recipient. Here’s a few choices from me:
Cupcake mug from Emma Bridgewater
1. Emma Bridgewater – there is a good selection of seconds and discontinued lines gone into the sale, with some great choices like Cupcakes (perfect for the baker in the house), a Dancing Mice tin (perfect for the cakes) and some almighty mugs in Black Toast for the tea and coffee addict!
2. Pedlars – definitely one of my favourites! I’ll be seriously considering stocking up on tea towels, which are always useful, for either practical uses, or they make a great hostess gift or an alternative to wrapping paper. There are some witty wooden chopping boards now with 30% off, and I’d also look at the Ladybird flasks and the collapsible shopping bucket.
3. The Handpicked Collection - another good one to get to know (lets face it, Thomasina
Tavolo cheese grater
Miers is on the panel of experts, so can’t be all bad for foodie needs). The Tavolo cheese grater would make a great gift, and you can never have enough graters. For lovers of good tea, there isa Teapigs gift box with 40% off making it just £8.97. Good standby gift this one. Skip the natural slate cheeseboard though, even reduced you can still pick up a roofing tile cheaper at your local builders merchant. About £13 cheaper!
4. Cath Kidston- plenty of homewares in the sale, things like aprons, mugs, oven gloves and napkins. Pretty good reductions too. If this is the style of the foodie in your life, then worth stocking up on these things, put them away somewhere safe until you need something.
So, shop at discount, but shop sensibly. Buy stuff that will be loved, not just stuff that’s got a big discount off it. And prepare for happy smiles for happy foodies when you finally let them have this stuff!
