Are you looking for a more orginal gift than a box of chocolates? Here are a few ideas for presents you can buy online to give to gourmets. Obviously with all food gifts you should take into account any allergies or dietary preferences of the recipient.

Sauces

Sauces are incredibly versatile. They can be used as a cooking ingredient, as a relish or even in a sandwich! The number of different flavours is immense, from fruity through to fiery chilli. Best of all, you can buy many of them in attractive packaging.

Tea
Nothing beats a good cup of tea – as an Englishman I know this to be true! As well as traditional black teas there are also green, herbal and fruit varieties avalable. Tea bags today can be extremely high quality, however for the real enthusiast you might want to get traditional leaf varieties. And maybe even a special teapot!

Black Garlic
Black garlic is a relatively new innovation that’s getting rave reviews from gourmets and chefs. It’s sweet, stick and, as the name suggests, black! Something different for the garlic lover.

Fruit and Nuts
OK, so this is an old favourite – but for good reasons. Gift baskets of dried fruit and/or nuts are extremely tasty and if you buy the best then they’re presented in a which which also makes them a feast for the eyes.

Bizarre Candy

In recent years there’s been a trend towards putting unlikely insects and other weird items in sweets. You can get edible versions of everything from ants and worms to scorpions! A gift for the adventurous eater.

Retro Sweets
If you know your giftee’s birthday then you might like to take them back to the taste’s of their childhood. You can buy retro candy gift packs containing sweets from most of the last decades. (Obviously the candy is newly made in the original style, it doesn’t *really* come from decades ago!)
