Christmas Gift Guide 2015

Christmas Gift Guide 2015 + 3 Giveaways!

Published on November 27, 2015 • Last updated November 22, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

aka: stuff I like.

Christmas Gift Guide 2015

It’s that time of year again already! Plans are being made (real tree vs. artificial?, chicken or turkey?, visit the family or just stay home for a quiet one?) and gifts are being bought. I’ve compiled together a collection of things I like. Some of them I’ve been sent over the last year to review and some I’ve purchased myself. All of them are part of my life right now in one way or another, and perhaps, hopefully, you might glean some inspiration from them!

Please note links in orange are Amazon affiliate links, and if you make a purchase through them I will get a small commission. I am also a Froothie ambassador and a Pomora olive oil ambassador, so any purchases of these products through my links will also help support my family.

Food & Drink

Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary - Food Gift Guide 2015

The Snack Organization Presents…. their newly launched rice crackers in lightly salted, sweet chilli or teriyaki flavours. Ideal for Christmas canapes or simply for late night, low calorie snacking! The sweet chilli ones are so very good! £1 from Tesco.

Indonesian Long Peppers – from the Peppermongers. Largely unheard of in western cuisine these peppers really pack a punch. £5 for 32 grams from Amazon. A stocking filler idea for the foodie in your life?

Pomora Olive Oil – Adopt an olive tree from small, selected family olive oil producers in Italy and receive quarterly shipments of oil, plus updates. This is the only olive oil I use now. Fantastic stuff! I get a small commission from each adoption made through my website. Upon checkout, enter the exclusive discount code: EKD25 for a 25% discount on the first two quarters of a tree adoption!

Yogi Tea – Choco. A virtually calorie free Ayurvedic blend with cocoa shells, liquorice and cinnamon (and a motivational tea tag quote!). Drinking this tea is part of my evening routine now. £5.29 for 17 teabags from Amazon, or check your local health foods store.

    The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love and of generosity and of goodness. It illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world’s busy life and become more interested in people than in things.
    Thomas S. Monson

    favourite Christmas saying in our house is “bingle jells” it was on a Christmas decoration I bought when we lived in Indonesia. They only have Christmas there as a marketing strategy in the shops

    When I was 15 I was left in charge of the cooking turkey on Christmas day while my parents popped out to visit someone. It caught on fire and was ruined. I swear it wasn’t my fault, but as a vegetarian I was accused of sabotage. Decades later and nobody lets me forget it!
