What better present is there, then one you can eat or drink?
A selection of my favourite edible treats to gift – or enjoy yourself over the festive season…

This all vegan brownie delivery company has been a go-to of mine for the last few years. Super easy to order for delivery nationwide, these decadent letterbox sized treats make for THE perfect gift. Choose from classic favourites including Biscoff or Salted Caramel, or opt for their new Christmas flavours – Candied Orange, Tiffin and Black Forest – which I have tried (for research purposes, of course) and can confirm they are every bit as delicious as they sound!

I’m super excited about the mint option in particular, as since giving up dairy almost eight years ago – I’ve been yet to find an after-dinner mint alternative, and I’m thrilled to say it doesn’t disappoint!
