The Knightsbridge Christmas gift guide: for the foodie

A bottle of champagne always feels special, but this Christmas why not go the extra mile with a personalised bottle of Moët & Chandon. Arranged through a newly launched personalisation station, located just outside the Moët & Chandon Champagne Bar at Harrods, this exclusive release is housed in a “Harrods green” bespoke tin, which can be adorned with a festive message or the recipient’s name. What’s more, once you’ve dropped the tin off at the personalisation station, you will be able to enjoy a glass of Moët & Chandon Impérial on the house. It’s a win-win scenario. Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial 70cl with bespoke tin, £58, Harrods, 87-135 Brompton Road, SW1X 7XL 

There’s a lot of discourse on how the perfect martini should be served, but if it’s in one of these elegant glasses from No.3 Gin, then you’re sure to have a happy customer, because they have been scientifically proven to keep the cocktail cool for twice as long. This fantastic new gift set from No.3 Gin, which has been named “World’s Best” at the International Spirits Challenge an impressive four times, features a bottle of the spirit and two keepsake martini glasses. No.3 Gin and martini gift set, £150, Harvey Nichols, 109-125 Knightsbridge, SW1X 7RJ

Fashion giant Dolce & Gabbana has teamed up with Italian confectioners Fiasconaro to produce the Rolls-Royce of panettones. Presented in a delightful and colourful tin, this special-edition sweet treat is made from a unique recipe typical of the traditional Milanese panettone but infused with the flavours of Sicily. Obsessed. Dolce & Gabbana Panettone al Cioccolato, £55, Divertimenti, 227-229 Brompton Road, SW3 2EP

Now you can enjoy a cup of your favourite local coffee from the comfort of home with a bag of hand-roasted single-estate Veloso coffee beans, grown in Brazil. A thoughtful gift and one that won’t break the bank. Hand roasted coffee beans (coming soon), £7.50, EL&N, 42 Hans Crescent, SW1X 0LZ

If you’re really looking to push the boat out this Christmas, then you can’t go wrong with Louis XIII, the world’s most prestigious cognac brand. An intoxicating liquid made from a blend of the finest eaux-de-vie, using grapes grown in Grande Champagne, France, Louis XIII cognac is decanted into hand-blown glass vessels, meaning that no two are the same. The Magnum decanter is individually numbered and presented in a signature red display case. C’est magnifique! Louis XIII Magnum cognac, £7,000, Harrods, 87-135 Brompton Road, SW1X 7XL

There’s hot chocolate, and then there’s Feya hot chocolates, which are in a league of their own. Vegan-friendly, gluten- and palm oil-free, these premium powders make the most sumptuous of hot chocolates to enjoy on a crisp winter’s day. Our choice is the Cardamom, Saffron and 23ct Gold drinking chocolate, which is as warming and luxurious as it sounds. Better still, 10 per cent of profits go to Young Women’s Trust, a charity working to achieve economic justice for women. Cardamom, Saffron & 23ct Gold drinking chocolate, £19.50, Feya, 146 Brompton Road, SW3 1HX

More and more people are choosing to go alcohol-free these days. And with an increase in premium alcohol-free alternatives, there’s no reason for them to miss out on a drop of festive cheer. Wild Idol is a high-end sparkling non-alcoholic drink that is vegan, gluten-free and naturally alcohol-free, meaning it hasn’t undergone any fermentation processes. The sparkling rosé edition will be a delight on Christmas Day (without the inevitable Boxing Day hangover). Wild Idol sparkling rosé, £29.75, Harrods, 87-135 Brompton Road, SW1X 7XL
