The 2024 Nottingham Gift Guide
By Eve Smallman and Fraser Castleton
Merino Ribbed Beanie, Highland2000
£35
While Highland2000 sounds like it’s based in Scotland, it’s actually based in Eastwood. It has plenty of snug and stylish jumpers and hats, but when it comes to gifting, you just can’t go wrong with a classic beanie. This is made from 100% Merino wool, comes in twelve different colours, and is one size fits all.
Gli Azzurri Long Sleeve Tee, Art of Football
£50
Art of Football does have collections for Nottingham Forest and Notts County if you are shopping for local team supporters, as well as for Premier League and Championship teams. But, if you’re looking for a casual yet fashionable gift for a football lover, this homage to Gli Azzurri is a great all-rounder.
Sock Gift Set, Sunspel
£50
These pairs of socks are made in Derbyshire (we know, we know!), but they are from Sunspel, which has its original roots in Nottingham (find out more about it in our feature). They’re a luxe version of the go-to sock gift, made from a super soft Italian-spun long-staple cotton. You also get two in the set, with a choice of dill green, stripe, and smoked blue to go with classic black.
Velvet Cowl and Wrist Warmers Set, Megan Crook
£52
Soft and sleek, this set is a colourful and chic crowdpleaser. The cowl fits over the head like a snood or can just be worn as a scarf, while the wrist warmers can go over or under coat sleeves. You can grab these separately and in multiple different colours, but we think the jade is a chic winner.
Home Is Where the Heart Is Jumper, Framework Fashion
£35
With a roomy fit, dropped shoulders, and a classic crewneck, this organic jumper is perfect for chilling in while watching Christmas movies. All proceeds from this and Framework’s other gifts will go directly to the charity’s Winter Appeal, so it’s worth browsing the whole site.
Figaro Fine Anklet, Jen Williams Jewellery
£32
Jewellery is always a thoughtful gift, but if you’re not sure what kind your giftee likes, a pretty anklet is always a good idea. The chain, clasp and extender chain are all made from 100% recycled sterling silver. It will also come first class and signed for, as well as in a recycled and recyclable gift box.
Dot Time Dog Collar, Wiff Waff Designs
From £17.95
Make sure your pup is the smartest in town by giving your pooch a fresh and fabulous collar. This dotted one is a timeless style, but there are loads of other patterns available. Each collar comes in sizes XXS-XL and there are measurements on the site so that you can find the right fit.
Soap Gift Box, The Nottingham Soapbox
£14
Choose three soaps from The Nottingham Soapbox’s range to go in this special gift box. All the soaps are handmade with natural ingredients, including base oils, essential oils, shea butter, and natural clays. These bars are all vegan, except for the Bee The Best.
Christmas Pudding Print Dribble Bib, Snuggles and Kisses
£6.50
How cute is this pudding bib? Not only will babies look adorable in it, but it will also keep them clean during Christmas dinner. It also comes in jumper, legging, and dress form, if you want to go all out. For those wanting something more subtle, we also like the sweet Baby Penguin Print Dribble Bib.
Christmas Coffee Gift Box, 200 Degrees
£29.95
Roasted right on Meadow Lane, 200 Degrees’ coffee beans are truly delicious — and these speciality single-origin roasts are strong and flavoursome. You can choose whether to have whole beans or ground for cafetiere, filter, or espresso, meaning you can tailor it perfectly for your coffee aficionado.
Barrel Drop Rum, DropWorks Distillery
£37.50
Know someone who’s partial to a drop of whiskey? They’ll definitely love this barrel-matured rum from DropWorks (which we’ve featured), which has delicious notes of rum and raisin ice cream. If you’d like to gift an experience instead of a physical present, the distillery also offers guided tours.
Christmas Gin, Ruddy Fine
From £17
A quality bottle of gin is always useful to have on your bar cart, whether it’s for G&Ts or festive cocktails. This one is handcrafted and infused with plenty of spices and citrus fruit to give it that festive feel. Ruddy Fine recommends serving it up with ginger ale, orange zest, and a cinnamon stick — delicious!
The Ultimate Collection, The Cheese Shop
£48
Crammed with artisan cheese, marmalade, crackers, biscuits, nuts, and more, this jam-packed hamper will win over any cheese fanatic this Christmas. Got someone in mind and know the ones they like? You can always head down to the shop in Flying Horse Walk and curate your own.
The Winter Seasonal Box, Luisa’s Vegan Chocolates
£24.20
A box of chocolates is always a treat, whether they’re being shared with family after Christmas dinner or enjoyed during a moment of quiet. These beautiful ones from one of the best chocolate shops in Notts are dairy-free, gluten-free, and soya-free. Flavours include gingerbread cashocolate, pistachio praline, and blueberry pie.
Hot Sauce Challenge Set, Sauce Shop
£19.99
Have you ever watched Hot Ones and wanted to do your own spicy chicken wing challenge? This will allow you and/or your friends to do just that, with the Sauce Shop’s original hot sauce, sriracha chilli sauce, buffalo hot sauce, habanero hot sauce and habanero ketchup. They’re all also vegan-friendly.
Illustrated Map, Ellastrated
£2.50-£16
Ellastrated’s vibrant and playful illustration style will liven up any wall. We love the Nottingham map print, but there are ones for other nearby areas too, such as Beeston, Derby, and Lincoln. The price varies depending on size — we think the postcards could make for a nice alternative to a Christmas card!
Forever Cosy Christmas Mug, Yasmin Cousins
£15
‘Tis the season for hot drinks and snuggling up inside, and this mug will help you or your giftee do just this. It’s totally Instagrammable, thanks to the cute winter mitts and smiling snowflakes all around it. We also like the look of Yasmin Cousins’ Naughty Gingerbread Wrapping Paper.
Festive Candle Trio Gift Set, Every Nook Candles
£36
Fragrance is key for creating a cosy atmosphere, and these three festive scents are perfect for this. With praline and coffee bean, cranberry and triple sec, winter pine and eucalyptus candles, there is something for every occasion. Want ones that are more evergreen? Every Nook Candles also has a Favourites Candle Trio Gift Set.
