Last minute ideas for Christmas presents

By FIL
15/12/2016

Not long to go until Christmas. Some people always leave it to the last minute to start their Christmas shopping. So if you are amongst them and you are starting to stress about it, we have put some ideas together that will allow you to shop online very effectively and save yourself some serious time.  Why? Because by leaving it to the last minute, there are fewer options available as very often many things are already out of stock. So are you ready? Go!

FOOD AND WINE

The Artisan Olive Oil Company

Whether you are having an aperitif with friends, cooking a great meal with your family or looking for an original gift, for an authentic taste of Provence, discover the aix&terra range on www.artisanoliveoilcompany.com. aix&terra produces fine gourmet foods from Southern France using natural local ingredients and typical recipes from the region with the support of a Michelin starred chef, Julien Allano.

Try their onion chutney with caramelised butter (£5.65) a perfect match with foie gras or perhaps their delicious black tapenade (£5.65) generously spread on toast or, last but not least, their black truffle oil (£17.50). The breadth of their range is wide and varied and you will not doubt find the perfect gift. The Artisan Olive Oil company distributes some of the world’s best olive oils, sourced from passionate producers in Italy, Spain and Tunisia, which also make great Christmas presents and stocking fillers.

ÔSingulier(S) not only offers the opportunity to create your very own shoes, from changing the colour of the laces down to choosing an engraving. You can indeed add your initials, a sentence or a drawing of your choice, and the laser technology guarantees a perfect result. 

ÔSingulier(S) also doesn't forget women that want to make their partner, friends or acquaintances feel "singular".
