Unique Christmas gifts for the family
1) Bamboo Cheese Board
Our customers have gone bananas for bamboo and who can blame them? Not only is this beautiful cheese board a sustainable and eco-friendly gift, it can also be customised with a unique engraving of your choice, making if the perfect unique Christmas for the family.
There’s plenty of space on the board to pile on those tasty festive cheeses! Plus, a handy magnetic strip at the back will stop the knives from getting lost amongst the Christmas dinner debris. Some of our other bamboo best sellers this year include our snazzy lunchbox, pen and kid’s plate.
2) Impossible Puzzle Christmas Edition
Boredom-buster! Stress reducer! Brain teaser! Whatever you want to call it, the Impossible puzzle was a huge hit during lockdown so we thought it was only right to launch a Christmas special!
These ultra-challenging 68-piece puzzles are extremely difficult to complete, especially when you request extra “trick pieces” to bamboozle the recipient. As well as the Christmas tree version, the original Impossible Puzzle is also still available and can be purchased in 5 different sizes. This is the perfect gift to help occupy your loved ones over the festive period and it will test even the most seasoned of puzzle enthusiasts.
