You can't have a foodie gift list without cheese - fact. We love The Bath Soft Cheese Co., famed for its organic cheese heralding from the heart of Somerset. Made with traditional methods, these premium cheeses are renowned for their distinctive quality. Selection boxes come packed with a range of signature cheeses, many with small batch chutneys and crackers.

Mother Root Ginger Switchel
Mother Root Ginger Swtichel is a sophisticated 100% all-natural, non-alcoholic aperitif. A maceration of pressed ginger juice, blossom honey, Organic apple cider vinegar and a hint of chilli, it is inspired by the age-old Anglo-American “shrub-making” tradition originating from the 1700s.
It is exceptionally versatile and can be served hot or cold. We love it in Mother Root’s gorgeous Hot-Not-Toddy, a non-alcoholic version of a traditional hot toddy, which is great for chilly winter days!

The three gins make the perfect Christmas gift with a twist, and the cherry gin in particular is a festive addition to any booze cupboard.
The new gins are available from www.gyreandgimble.co.uk, all priced at £35 (70cl bottle) with delivery across mainland UK.
