Thirteen of the best: ultimate Christmas gifts
1. Rattle those pots'n'pans
Even the most inexperienced cooks will enjoy rustling up delish dishes using this on-trend collection for the kitchen. From cool bakeware to rustic oil drizzlers, there's something to make everyone happy.
2. Nothing but goodness
We feel a new year detox coming on... so give the gift of good health with this hi-tech juicer. Its secret is squeezing every last bit of nutritional goodness from your chosen blend of fruit and/or veg.
3. Gin for sloe sipping
Wish the gin lover in your family a very merry Christmas indeed with this gift of a British classic tipple made with wild Dartmoor sloe berries. You can buy it prettily gift boxed for an extra-special touch.
4. Mixing it
This daddy of all food mixers is a handsome addition that will take pride of place in any kitchen. A powerful 10-speed motor takes the hard work out of baking prep.
5. For the eco-minded music fan
This light, portable Bluetooth wireless speaker will delight the music buff - and the planet, as it is sourced from sustainable natural bamboo and recycled plastic.
6. The glow of copper
Add sophistication to the home with this polished copper candlestick. It's festive perched beside a roaring fire with a white or red candle - or super-sleek teamed with a black one.
7. Pictures with a personal touch
Screen prints from HAM are handcrafted and signed, and come ready for you to present in a frame of your choosing, or give them rolled up in the tube to keep them pristine. This yoga-loving bunny would make a lovely gift for a fan of this ancient form of exercise.
8. Breakfast in style
There's a choice of four colourways in the chic De'Longhi range of Distinta appliances with a retro feel. Tea and toast, or coffee, anyone?
9. A modern classic for coffee lovers
Everyone will need at least one strong cup of coffee to rev up for Christmas Day - or to cut through the haze left by Christmas Eve's mulled wine. This sleek, black stove-top cafetière makes six cups and comes at a great price.
10. Not just for ski bunnies
A cuppa doesn't come much cuter. This skiing rabbit china mug is dishwasher safe and will be a sure-fire hit with anyone from Gran, to Dad, to your bezzie mate.
11. Bottoms up
Give a case with everything for the would-be sommelier - a wine opener, bottle stopper and spare corkscrew. The lucky person who gets this dapper box of tricks in their stocking will open every bottle with a flourish and impress their guests no end.
12. Juiced up
Juicing's here to stay, and this one's an excellent gift for anyone turning over a healthy new leaf for the new year - or even before the end of this one.
13. A hot favourite
From tasty pasta to a delectable roast dinner, there's nothing the compact, versatile GoChef cooker can't handle. Buy this and you may even get invited round for a taste test...
