Stunning edible gifts to make for any occasion

There’s something truly special in receiving a beautifully packaged box, bottle or jar of delicious homemade creations…especially when they’re from a notorious foodie! Edible gifts represent a significant amount of thought and care (and also mean you get to enjoy the magic of a homemade touch without having to make it yourself).

With Mother’s and Father’s Day fast approaching, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite crunchy, salty, (mostly) sweet treats that just so happen to make perfect edible gifts too. Also fantastic for end-of-term teachers’ gifts, birthday presents, anniversaries, house-warming treats, Christmas stocking stuffers, thank yous and all sorts of delicious occasions.

Enjoy.
