For The Dessert Lovers

For The Aspiring Chef

Every great cook knows that the right tools are key to success in the kitchen. For the culinary creatives on your list, Neven Maguire’s cookware will ignite their passion for cooking. The Neven Maguire Diamond Fusion frying pans, starting at €40, combine durability with cutting-edge design. Made from tri-ply stainless steel for great heat retention, these pans are suitable for all hob types – including induction – and come with a 20-year guarantee, ensuring that your gift will be cherished for years to come. To complement any kitchen setup, consider gifting a beautifully crafted serving board (€25). Featuring removable bowls and a slate centre, it will double as an elegant piece of kitchen décor when not in use, adding a touch of style to their space.

Take your loved ones’ tastebuds on a trip to Italy this Christmas with the Muzzi range of authentic festive treats. Perfect for cosy winter evenings or lively family gatherings, these beautifully boxed sweet breads evoke the spirit of the season. For dessert lovers, panettone is a classic choice. While enjoyed year-round, its strong association with Christmas makes it a timeless gift for families to share. Whether eaten fresh, toasted or served with mascarpone, panettone is a versatile indulgence that everyone can enjoy. Dunnes Stores offers two versions: a decadent chocolate panettone (€22.99) and a traditional option (€16.99), both elegantly wrapped and ready for gifting. If you’re looking for something simpler but just as festive, opt for pandoro. This golden Italian cake, with its delicate butter, sugar and vanilla flavours, offers a more subtle sweetness than panettone, making it ideal for those who prefer an unfussy treat. Pick up the Muzzi pandoro (€18.99) to add a touch of Italian flair to Christmas dessert tables and dust it with powdered sugar for a snow-topped look.

For The Cheese Enthusiast

If there’s one thing every holiday gathering needs, it’s an impressive cheese board. For the cheese connoisseurs in your life, the COOK with Neven Maguire range provides the perfect tools for creating gourmet cheese boards that are both delicious and visually stunning. Gift a cheese lover the Neven Maguire cheese board (€20), comprising cheese knives and a marble effect board designed to keep cheese at the perfect temperature. It’s not just a serving platter; it’s a canvas for culinary creativity. Whether pairing Gouda with grapes or Gruyère with honey, this board will help cheese fans and superhosts to serve with style and sophistication all season long.

For The Entertainer

For those who love hosting festive gatherings, nothing says ‘celebration’ like a charcuterie board. Combining fine meats and cheeses, charcuterie is a conversation starter. The Simply Better charcuterie gift box (€50), curated by Neven Maguire, is an ideal gift for entertainers. Thoughtfully packed with a blend of savoury delights, this box is sure to elevate any holiday spread and bring gourmet flavour to family and friends.
