Gift ideas for people who are difficult to buy for

We all know someone who is almost impossible to buy presents for. They already have plenty of ‘stuff’. They don't want more ornaments, novelty gadgets or things that will sit in a cupboard gathering dust. That's one reason food and drink gifts have become so popular. They're thoughtful, useful and designed to be enjoyed. Whether you're buying for a birthday, anniversary, thank you gift, retirement or Christmas, Gastro Nicks has a wide range of hampers, gift trays and gift boxes to suit every taste and budget.

Create your own hamper

Sometimes you know exactly what someone likes.

That's why we offer the option to create your own hamper or gift box.

Perhaps they're a cheese lover. A keen cook. A wine enthusiast. A fan of Italian food. Or someone who simply enjoys good food.

You can mix and match from across the deli to create something completely personal.

Popular additions include:

  • Artisan cheeses

  • Charcuterie

  • Wines and beers

  • Olive oils and balsamic vinegars

  • Pasta and sauces

  • Chocolates and biscuits

  • Preserves and chutneys

  • Fresh deli products

The result is a gift that feels far more thoughtful than a standard off-the-shelf present.

Create your own gift box

Give an experience to enjoy at home

Some of our most popular gifts aren't hampers at all. They're experiences.

The tapas table: Perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or family, our Tapas Table brings together a delicious selection of Mediterranean-inspired treats for sharing. Simply unpack, serve and enjoy.

Wine tasting at home: Our wine tasting experiences make a fantastic gift for anyone who enjoys discovering new wines. Explore carefully selected bottles alongside complementary foods and create your own tasting evening at home.

Picnic boxes: Summer is the perfect time for eating outdoors. Our picnic boxes take the hard work out of planning and provide everything needed for a leisurely lunch in the countryside, by the river or in the garden. They're also a lovely gift for couples, families or anyone who enjoys making the most of the warmer weather.

More than just a gift

The best gifts create memories.

A hamper can become a family evening of sharing food together. A picnic box can turn into a day out. A wine tasting box can become an evening spent with friends.

That's why food gifts remain so popular. They bring people together and give something to enjoy rather than simply something to own.
