Local Christmas Present Ideas from Ginger and Pickles
Let’s be honest - Christmas shopping can be a nightmare. This year has been an absolute whirlwind and with Christmas shopping being a little more difficult it’s easy to get stressed when trying to find meaningful gifts for loved ones. There’s a lot of temptation to spend money on presents from the larger companies. This may seem cheap and convenient at the time but it comes with a flaw, it’s bad for the environment and doesn’t support the smaller businesses.
If you’re trying to do your bit this Christmas by supporting smaller and more local businesses, we’d love to welcome you to try G&P. We guarantee that all of our gifts are sustainably sourced, made in the UK and unique to Ginger and Pickles. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of gifts and a selection of hampers that we’ve recently released to help satisfy all your Christmas shopping needs! Have yourself a local Christmas this year and read on to find out how you can tick off the presents for all your loved ones this Christmas.

Our hot chocolate has a velvety texture that’s made to last until the very last sip. You can enjoy our gorgeous hot chocolate guilt-free in the knowledge that it is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and soya-free (but not calorie free hehe).

Why not buy a voucher for a friend or loved one so you can bring them along to enjoy the ultimate Afternoon Tea experience and if you’re feeling extra generous, you can upgrade your Afternoon Tea to have it with prosecco.

ILLUSTRATED 100% COTTON TEA TOWELS
Any Ginger and Pickles fan will love this tea towel of either Ginger and Pickles Tarporley or Ginger and Pickles Nantwich. It’s printed on 100% cotton and designed by the daughter of the owners! They make a perfect addition to any home cook’s kitchen and they’re also sold individually to keep them as one-off and waste free as we can.
COOK’S HAND WASH
Our hand wash takes extra care of your hands. This liquid soap, infused with the relaxing and revitalising essential oils of lemongrass and basil will cleanse and naturally nourish your skin whilst taking pride of place in your kitchen. The lotion is gentle, lightweight and easily absorbed to help soften and soothe your skin. It’s also infused with lemongrass and basil essential oils, leaving your skin smelling beautiful and feeling revitalised.
This lotion is made in the Lake District from 100% natural ingredients and the bottle is made from biopolymer which is created using the waste of sugarcane. The renewable sugarcane captures CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions too. With this in mind, your loved one can enjoy this hand wash knowing that it’s brilliant for the environment!
