Bookblock’s Guide to Building the Perfect Christmas Gift Box Under £30

It’s back again! Your guide to creating the perfect Christmas gift box for under £30. It’s great for those trying to stick to a budget this year. Take a look at our lovely, unique Christmas gifts to give to your loved ones.

Christmas Fizz

To begin our wonderful list of Christmas gift ideas, we’re starting with one of our favourite Forty Liquors spritz London’s Calling Zesty Gin Fizz. It’s a citrus forward number mellowed by Fino sherry. Designed to put a spring in your step, it is lifted by grapefruit zest and honey notes. This drink definitely packs a punch, and makes a great addition to Christmas gift boxes.

The pouch is also housed in a beautifully abstract style envelope, with a small little window to show the dazzling red drink inside.

Christmas Nibbles

Next up are some yummy Christmas biscuits with our Black Forest Biscuits by Bookblock Deli. They are deliciously indulgent all butter biscuits, baked with sour cherries and dark chocolate pieces. As a result, our Deli has created a gorgeous signature black forest flavour. Baked by hand, these melt in the mouth biscuits are perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, so had to be a feature for our under £30 Christmas box. 

Of course, we also love the packaging. With the rich green background reflecting the black forest and bold red shadow under the title for the punchiness of the cherries. The combination creates a wonderful design.

Christmas candles

Who doesn’t love a home with beautiful Christmas candles? Our Wild Fig and Cassis Candle by Älska is a brilliant way to ensure that they are a feature. 

This lovely candle is one for fans of rich and fruity fragrances. Fig, apricot and raspberry bring a hint of sweetness. Because of this, it works all year around as well as the festive period.

The candle is 100% soy wax, so not only will it reduce the amount of soot emitted, but also burns for longer! We have housed it in a frosted glass, creating an elegantly premium gift.

More Christmas Nibbles

At Bookblock, we can’t get enough biscuits. They are the perfect Christmas nibbles. Therefore, next on our gift ideas list is our Lancashire Cheese & Spring Onion Biscuits by The Drinks Bakery. They have a motto ‘Great drink drinks deserve great snacks’ and we couldn’t agree more. 

Using the best Mrs Kirkham’s Lancashire cheese with English mustard and spring onion, it creates a full-on-fruity profile. It also has a spicy finish which stands up to some serious drinks. These little treats are the perfect stocking fillers and a wonderful fit for our budgeted Christmas box.

Last but not least and a brilliant snack, Torres’ Black Truffle Crisps. They’re light and delicious with a beautifully strong flavour of real black summer truffle. These crisps are handcrafted, vegan and gluten free, so wonderful for everyone to enjoy. As a result, they are the perfect finishing touch to our under £30 Christmas gift box.
