Gift Ideas for Christmas 2015

Nothing consolidates friendship better than good gift-giving… at least that’s what some of our mates usually say around this time of year. So in the spirit of things, we’ve decided to do a rundown of some the best presents for Christmas 2015.

For your bloke mate who likes his food Curry and chips flavoured chocolate

Inspired by the nations favourite takeaway dish – after a few pints presumably – this chocolatey creation is flavoured with a mild Midas and topped with crunch, salty chips.
Lads, at just under £4:00, this would make a cool stocking filler for your best bloke mate, not your other half.

For your ‘it-girl’ mate Emergency Gin and Tonic Kit

This ‘emergency kit’ contains all the essential ingredients for gin, should your local off license run out, or a zombie apocalypse lead to scarce resources and looting. Either way, everything you need is freshly packed into this tight little container.

For your posh mate Bath Tea Bag Box

Fragranced with essential oils and infused with different smelling tea leaves, including mandarin and orange blossom, Lime and cedarwood, and tuberose and jasmine, these bath bags will leave the tub as warm and cosy as a steaming mug of tea.

For your mate with twisted humour Misfortune cookies
17869
Sweet, crumbly, and brilliantly macabre. These fortune cookies contain a wicked twist and that’s all part of the fun. Your mate will have a laugh cracking these open at the next family dinner.

For your geek mate Sphero BB-8

If you value your friendship at £129.99 or more, then your geekiest mate will definitely get a kick out of this BB-8 droid from the upcoming Star Wars movie. Controlled by smartphone, in the same way as previous Sphero models, BB-8 roams around with authentic movements, lights, and sounds.
