The dish Christmas gift guide: for the table

Christmas morning can get a little hectic: so we've put together a checklist of some essentials that ensure the mission to get everyone sitting round the table with a party hat and a full plate is just a little bit easier...

Gather up the kids, the pets, the presents, then relax...because once you've had your coffee, got the main ready to go, got a bottle of wine chilling for later, and more, you can take a deep breath and enjoy the Christmas cheer. 

And of course there's nothing a loved one will appreciate more than help preparing for the season...

So have a look at this guide: full of all the things we'll be sure to have on hand. It's all that and a bag of chips!

Crunch time

This is going to be dill-icious… Introducing our newest home-compostable bag: Dill Pickle with Apple Cider Vinegar! Enjoy the zingy vinegar tang with a hint of dill and subtle pickling herbs. Once you’re done crunching on the crisps, pop the packet in the compost bin.

Gold Rush

Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc has won golds all over the world – but what we love most is that it is pure summer in a bottle. Think salty sea spray, hot ouchy sand, tan lines, barbecues and long warm evenings. Chill it down, pour it into a glass and see where the evening takes you.

Coffee for a cause

The Roasters’ Lucky Dip is a limited-edition selection of the best of L’affare’s 2020 Roasters’ Cup single-origin coffees – the perfect gift for that coffee-loving friend you struggle to buy for. L’affare’s roasters will cycle through different special coffees, so what they roast today may not be what they roast tomorrow.
