Trying to find a gift for a real Foodie? I’ve been searching high and low online, and I think I’ve come up with five that promise to satisfy foodie whether they have a savoury or sweet tooth.

1. Prestige American Caviar

There’s one thing that all foodies love and that’s Caviar. This particular variety is one of the cheaper, because instead of coming from the Caspian Sea Sturgeon fish, it comes from it’s cousin, the American Polyodon Spathula, and offers a smooth, silky, rich flavour.

Available in 50g tins for £55 at London Fine Foods.

2. Dulce de Leche

Invented in Argentina, Dulce de leche is a milk bases syrup that your Foodie is going to love if they have a sweet tooth, as it creates a gorgeous silk caramel flavour that’s just divine when poured up some cooking apples… (My mouth is watering just thinking about it….

Available in 1kg containers for £7.95 at London Fine Foods.

3. Michel Cruizel Dark Chocolate Minigrams

If your foodie loves cooking up a storm of chocolate delights then they’re going to be very happy to receive the Michel Cluizel Dark Chocolate Minigrams from The Chocolate Trading Co.

Perfect for use in desserts, baking, decoration or just in a indulgent hot chocolate, these minigrams are a pleasure to work with - just drop the small, artificial free, chocolate drops into the recipe and they’ll melt immediately.

And there’s no need to worry about the ones left behinds - these Michel Cruizel chocolate drops come with a handy zip-up bag to protect against humidity.

Available for £14.95 at Chocolate Trading Co.

4. Cookery Course Experience Day

If your foodie loves their food, but isn’t so hot on cooking it then this Cookery Course Experience Day is for them.

Designed to equip them with all the skills they’ll need to prepare delectable dishes from the ingredients they love, sending your foodie on this course will have them coming back being able to sauté, stir, fry, flambee, marinate, steam and bake delicious dishes you’ll hope they’ll invite you round to taste.

Available for £189.95 at The Gift Experience.

5. Decadence Hamper

If you really want to treat a foodie this Christmas, you’ll want to get them the Decadence Hamper.

Packed full of gorgeous food and drink, this is a hampr that is going to keep your foodie going for months, and with items such as Quenby Hall’s benchmark handmade blue stilton, gorgeous smoked salmon and wine on offer, they’re going to enjoy every second…

Available for £314.58 at Buy A Gift.

What do you buy the chocolate lover in family? A slab of chocolate? A box of single origin chocolates? A selection pack of dessert chocolates?

It’s hard to know isn’t it. That’s why I love the new Luxury Chocolate Gift Vouchers from Chocolate Trading Co.

These gift vouchers allow the recipient to choose the exact chocolates they want from Chocolate Trading Co’s huge range, and will make sure they’re gushing with their thanks, and not trying to hide the fact they threw away half the chocolates you gave them because they didn’t like them..

Tempted? If you do buy one of these gift vouchers, make sure you enter the discount code Xmas6 because it will get you 6% off your orders until 31st December 2008.

When I can’t think what to buy someone for a present I always have a backup plan which is a trip to a luxury chocolate shop for some yummy chocolate, and so far it’s worked out pretty well.

(If I’m honest a lot of times they’ve been happier with the chocolate than any other gift I’ve given them..)

Usually the most I’ve ever got back from the chocolate shop is a measly tiny segment of a chocolate to taste, but things are looking a whole lot more promising this year if you make the move and buy your luxury chocolate online.

If you’re a regular reader then you’ll know that Hotel Chocolat were the first to go mad with free chocolate offerings, promising us a free box of chocolates worth £12.50 if we spend over £50 on chocolate (you can read more details here).

Well now there’s a new, tempting free luxury chocolate offer from Chocolate Trading Co and all you have to do is spend £20!

The value of this gift is a lot less at £3.99 but does give you the chance to sample luxury chocolate from top chocolatiers such as Michel Cruizel, Amedei and Valrhona.. and all you need to do is enter the discount code FREEGIFT at the checkout.
