In this guide we share local British brand Concrete & Wax and their Arboreal Concrete Coasters which makes a stylish gift.  Next, the Animo Stag Glass Tumbler from local British brand Peach Perfect Presents makes a stunning gift to close family or friends.

Home bakers and cooks would appreciate three of our gift ideas starting from Imperia Italian Double Cutter Pasta Machine and KitchenCraft’s Stainless Steel Three Tier Steamer from Cook Serve Enjoy as well as Blackmoor’s 5-Piece Bakeware Set.

Arboreal Concrete Coasters

Concrete & Wax is a British brand owned by husband and wife team, Alex and Laura.  Based in Suffolk, they strive to only use locally sourced materials to create unique and fashionable gifts such as candle holders, tableware, placemats, bowls and mirrors.

We have decided to showcase their Arboreal Concrete Coasters which immortalises the beauty of wood in concreate as a stunning Christmas gift item for your loved one. If you are wondering about how this is made, Alex and Laura carefully selected pieces of wood as their prototypes then char and sand the surface before hand pouring into their moulds. This creates concrete coasters which have all the details of the original wooden pieces.  All four of these coasters are slightly different in shape and form, but complement each other beautifully.

Measuring 9.5cm (wide) x 1.2 cm (thickness), each of the coaster weighs around 180gm and comes wrapped in a bed of black tissue paper in a luxury recyclable black card board box tied with a ribbon. Such a luxurious gift to give someone or received yourself.   Priced at £55 for a set of four coasters, these can be purchased from Concrete & Wax in time for Christmas. They also sell a set of two coasters as well as other stunning giftwares.  Do note that they will plant a tree for every Arboreal set sold.

Blackmoor 5-Piece Bakeware Set

Blackmoor is another UK based brand which promotes and sells high quality cookware at an affordable price. A great brand with so many fabulous products which will make for a special Christmas present for someone who loves spending time baking in the kitchen.

For our guide, we have picked Blackmoor’s 5-Piece Bakeware Set, this consists of a loaf pan, a square pan, a roasting tray, a baking tray and a 12 mould cupcake tray. This set is an all in one set for a new or experienced baker as you would be able to bake bread, muffins, cakes, cookies and prepare roasts.

I love the unique design of the bakeware set and that each of the item features a non-stick coating that not only allows you to get your bakes out of the mould or foods off the trays with the greatest of ease but also allows for less butters and oils to be used during the cooking process, making your creations healthier too.

The bakeware sets’ are manufactured from carbon steel, which is ultra-durable, long-lasting and means that it will continue to perform to the highest standards when used time and time again. This set is currently on sale for £33 and this can be purchased here.
