The Liquid deli Demijohn has done it again! They are a truly unique operation, offering exciting and different slants on Liqueurs and whiskies. The Demijohn bottles are beautifully individual, with handwritten detailing. The liquid inside is often magical in its own right. This Christmas they have launched their Christmas gifts and top of the list a new Cheeseboard Gift Set. It looks fantastic and a must have for cheese and liqueur connoisseurs alike!
Containing three delicious liqueurs which pair particularly well with cheese – Brammle Scotch Whisky Liqueur, Somerset Pomona and Elderberry & Port Liqueur – this gift set comprises three 200ml bottles, nestled together in a beautiful handmade red cherry wood bottle rack. It’s got the wow factor written all over it!

The Brammle Scotch Whisky Liqueur is made with brambles or blackberries. It’s got a distinctive taste and actually very pleasing to drink. The Elderberry & Port Liqueur is a rich liqueur which is very pleasing to drink around the festive season. Both these make for a perfect after-dinner drink and pair nicely with stronger flavoured cheese such as Stilton or Dunsyre Blue. The lighter Somerset Pomona, made from a young cider brandy, goes particularly well with softer, creamy cheeses such as Brie, Camembert or a goat’s cheese. Again, this is delicious and very pleasant on the palette.
The beauty of this gift set is that you can choose which liqueur you’d like and then can have a personalised Christmas message added for free. Receiving a highly personal gift at any time is special, but at Christmas time, it’s even more so!
Demijohn’s Owner Angus Ferguson says:-
“Christmas is our favourite time at Demijohn as we create a huge variety of Christmas presents and gift sets that we know will be loved by the recipients. The new Cheeseboard Gift Set epitomises what Demijohn is about – great tasting liqueurs to be given to accompany great tasting food. All our products have the added benefit of being able to be personalised with a message on the bottle. This makes them more special and means no card is necessary.”
The Cheeseboard selection is priced at £46.15 and is available form http://www.demijohn.co.uk. Or, for those looking for a larger present this Christmas, Demijohn has an array of small, medium and large hampers, starting from £50, as well as beautiful handmade cherry wood boxes complete with six 100ml bottles of drinks of your choice.
Have you got a foodie lover in your family who adores getting some delicious treats in their stocking at Christmas? Well this trio pack of dressings and marinades from Olives Et Al could just be the perfect addition to that stocking!

This perfectly neat little pack of dressings and marinades could add a bit of zing to any occasion. Each 100ml bottle is packed full of tasty ingredients that would tantalise the tongues of many! They include:-
- Shallot & Orange dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, orange juice and wine vinegar infused with orange zest and shallot. This is great as a marinade for pork, prawns or duck.
- Pink Mojo is a wonderful tropical dressing and marinade. This has been inspired by a Caribbean sauce. It works great as a marinade for fish, but also just as good with pork, chicken or roasted vegetables.
- Chilli & Ginger I think is my favourite! It is perfect for dipping, dressing or dowsing fishcakes, crab cakes, stirring into mashed spud, or spicing up any pasta dish. The options are endless!
This wonderful trio box is all lined up and ready for pouring, drizzling, marinating and dipping this Christmas – perfect for that left over turkey and gammon! Retailing at only £9.95, it makes a affordable present too!
Olives Et Al’s products are available in good food retailers, delis, farm shops, food halls and on line at http://www.olivesetal.co.uk.

This Hamper is perfect for gardening enthusiast or even just someone who fancies digging around in the flower beds in style, and it would make a really quirky and unusual Christmas gift.

The Unique Boutique Company say:-
