Whether you are looking for the perfect gift for a loved one, your office secret Santa or you have forgotten about poor Aunty Audrey, Lancashire has something to offer any recipient.
Lancashire’s local stores offer a wide range of festive and not to mention delicious gifts, and love sharing the Christmas cheer. What’s more you won’t have to worry about postal delays when you shop in person.
To help with the food and drink lovers in your life, we have pulled together this handy lists of gifts you can give this Christmas when you shop in Lancashire.
1. Gifts for a hot drink lover
Most people love a hot drink, and will love to try something new this Christmas. You can find an array of products for your loved ones to enjoy from Atkinsons Coffee Roasters. Whether their favourite brew is tea, coffee or hot chocolate, you will be able to find them the perfect gift, whether that is new flavours to try, a subscription to the Roaster’s coffee of the month, teapots or something equally as delightful.
Our favourite gift from Atkinsons Coffee Roasters, has to be the beautiful stove-top 3 cup Moka pot. You can order online for collection from the Lancaster shop, or to your home.
2. A little something for that someone who has everything
We all have that person in our life that seems to have everything, but that doesn’t mean you can’t surprise them with a gift they will never have thought of.
We love the Heather Honey Hamper Gift Set from The Bee Centre in Chorley. Coming in at just £30, this includes a piece of pure heather honeycomb! Not only will this be a delicious gift, it’s something that very few people will have had before and will provide your recipient with so many options, from crumbling into desserts, eating by the spoonful or creating something else from it.
3. Share the Christmas spirit
With distilleries in every corner of our beautiful county, you won’t be hard pressed to find a gift for someone who likes to enjoy a glass or two over the holidays.
You can find a whole host of rums and gins from distilleries like Sandgrown Spirits, Brindle Distillery, and The Taste of the Inn at Cartford Inn. If you’re looking for a gift for a beer lover you can find plenty of beers from Bowland Brewery and Farm Yard Brew Co too. Even the designated drivers can be catered for with a selection of beautifully hand crafted soft drinks from Calyx drinks, available at Booths stores around the region.
4. The perfect sharing hamper
If you’re buying for a friend with a large family, or who you know is a major foodie, a hamper can be the perfect gift! Booths have a fantastic selection of local food products such as beer, wine, preserves and cheeses. For the ultimate cheese fan head to the delicious Dewlay Cheese for hampers of just cheese and other treats. We love the Christmas night in hamper which includes everything you can think of from cheese and crackers to biscuits and sweets, with a little wine and beer thrown into the mix too. Countrystyle Meats in Lancaster has a huge selection of local food if you fancy creating a bespoke hamper for your friends and family too.
5. Spoil the kids with chocolatey goodness
When people think of food and drink gifts they often think about gifts for the grown-ups, but why should the kids miss out on the foodie fun? Choc Amor provides a chocolate haven of sweet gift packs, Christmas themed treats and even a monthly chocolate subscription to choose from. We love the idea of a child waking up to find Santa’s wellington boot on Christmas morning, especially when they discover they can enjoy a bite or two before breakfast too! After all; it is Christmas!
6. A meal they don’t have to cook
There’s often that person who loves to feed everyone who walks in their door, so why not return the favour and get them a meal that they can enjoy without all the hard work.
Barton Manor Hotel is known for its fantastic dining experiences and food that is perfect for any occasion. They offer vouchers for their fabulous afternoon teas in the Walled Garden, or monetary vouchers to spend in the restaurant on a meal. Alternatively, treat a friend to bottomless brunch at one of the Seafood Pub Co’s venues across the county.
If your ideal gift hasn’t been covered, why not visit our shop Lancashire pages to browse other fabulous retailers who will be more than happy to help you find the gift you need ahead of the big day, there are more ideas in our Lancashire Christmas Guide too!
