If you are looking for that perfect Christmas gift, but are running short on inspiration, why not explore one of the myriad gift boxes available that are guaranteed to take the fuss out of festive shopping. With options from grooming to grand luxury, we’ve put together some ideas to fit every pocket.
Gifts by Mint Ho! Ho! Ho! Gift Box
Gifts By Mint aims to bring a touch of luxury to the act of gifting. Founder Gordon Macgeachy developed the concept after having set up a concierge service 20 years ago, based in Los Angeles. This gave him a valuable insight into what his clients wanted and he’s translated this into a service we can all now access at the click of a button.
The Ho! Ho! Ho! Gift box can make someone you love feel special this Christmas. Beautifully presented in a stylish yet subtle gift box, the Ho! Ho! Ho! gift box includes your choice of a bottle of either champagne, wine or spirits, as well as luxury truffles, a delightfully scented candle, a book to curl up and thumb through and even a handcrafted bauble for the Christmas tree, by Bombki. This can be finished off with a handwritten note too, adding that personal touch.
Everything that’s selected to go into the gift boxes is chosen for its top-notch quality and is up to the exacting standards that Gifts By Mint insist on, despite the Ho! Ho! Ho! name sounding a little more Lidl than luxury. If the Christmas gift box doesn’t fit for the person you’re buying for, there are many more to choose from, so no matter what the occasion, or the personality of the recipient, there should be something to suit.

Pale Fox Wild Strawberry Spritz Kit
Pale Fox Prosecco was first brought to the market in 2018, the product of an area of Italy known as Valle delle Volpi, or Valley of the Foxes. Nestled in a region known for producing delicate, fresh sparkling wines, it’s no surprise that Pale Fox Prosecco was recently awarded 93 points by world-renowned wine critic James Suckling, making it, according to him, the best prosecco in the world.
Pale Fox wants to encourage drinkers to enjoy its prosecco in a multitude of ways, and to help to inspire it has released a range of Spritz Kits, bringing together everything you might need to make the perfect drink. There are two flavours available, wild strawberry and for Christmas, a cranberry version.
Each kit includes a 75cl bottle of Pale Fox Single Estate Prosecco, 120ml Bitter Amaro, 150ml strawberry or cranberry syrup, 330ml Dash lemon Water or CanOwater and six dried orange wheels to garnish. Pale Fox has devised this neat Spritz Kit to save you the hassle, with everything needed to shake up delicious cocktails for you and your friends to enjoy.

Mini Sprigster Gift Box
Created from the botanicals from the Pythouse Kitchen Garden in Wiltshire since 2016, Sprigster is a non-alcoholic shrub infusion developed to make a flavoursome, fresh-tasting drink that can be used as a replacement for, or as an accompaniment to, alcohol in a spritz or cocktail.
The bittersweet botanical mash is infused over a period of three weeks to ensure the flavours have blended beautifully before it is bottled. The blend of hops, rhubarb, ginger and fennel seeds creates a dry, tangy flavour, with a warmth brought forward by the ginger and fennel seeds.
Perfect as a gift this Christmas for friends or family, or a great addition to your own drinks cabinet, it’s ready for those designated drivers. The gift box contains everything you might need to make a great G&T alternative; packaged in a reusable cedarwood box, the set includes a 20cl bottle of Sprigster, two cans of Fever-Tree tonic, fruit and herb garnishes, natural drinking straws and a cocktail recipe card.
