Food gifts for those who like to cook – and eat! – are an excellent choice and with so much to choose from, the food lover in your life is really spoilt choice.
Along with food gift sets and various limited editions, food gifts really have taken off in popularity in recent years and it’s not just foodies and home cooks – but also for those who love to indulge in luxury offerings.
Here, the Christmas.co.uk team take a closer look at the best Christmas food gifts available this year.
The John Lewis Christmas Treats Gift Sack
We begin our roundup with an excellent offering from John Lewis and it’s great for those who are foodies and you’re on a budget. We think this is a great gift for those who may be visiting friends or family for the day and want to handover something special.
The treat sack means you will get the best of both worlds with a range of some of the retailer’s finest snacks, plus there’s a bottle of Prosecco.
Along with savoury snacks, there are delicious, sweet treats and the bag is reusable and practical.
It’s a great choice for those who like to enjoy tasty and top-quality treats.

Vegan gift box of treats
Sticking with vegan food delights, we also like the Christmas vegan gift box of treats by Lottie Shaw’s and stocked by Not on the High Street.
It costs £36 and is a great choice for those who would love eco-friendly treats and dairy-free goods.
The Christmas offering is inspired by festive favourites and the box can be sent directly to the recipient.
The vegan baked foods include oatmeal and biscuits, traditional flapjack and stem ginger savoury oatmeal biscuits.
There’s also stem ginger flapjacks, a coconut flapjack and two vegan gingerbread men.

There’s something for everyone in the family including smoked salmon, chocolate, truffle butter and a bottle of port.
It weighs in at £169 but includes some very impressive items including Panzer’s Panettone, a bottle of Viña Cobos Felino, Panzer’s Smoked Salmon and Burt’s Blue Cheese.

Monopoly luxe biscuit tin
The most impressive collection of biscuits for food lovers, is this Monopoly luxe biscuit tin which costs £49.95.
