My colleagues over on the life and style pages have put together a wonderfully whizzily interactive Christmas gift guide.
It's well worth having a gander - I just did, went straight to the kitchen in it and found a feast of foodie gifts. The gourmet gifts section has some nice suggestions with links to order the goods: bérico de bellota ham from Brindisa, complete with carving knives; a splendid selection of smoked salmon from Loch Fyne - a gift I'd definitely recommend, not only for quality, but also for the sustainable and cooperative nature of the business, which is owned by its employees. There's a drinks section, cookbooks, foodie experiences, a whole load of chocolate, and much to my pain, there's a rather lovely gadget section in there too, which, given my current situation, has me dangerously close to getting out the plastic. Have a whirl round it, try not to spend too much money, and tell us what you think, or other Christmas foodie gifts you're planning.
