Personalised Elephant Gin (£36.90)

Elephant Gin is an award-winning gin delivering stunning flavours and an aesthetically beautiful look & feel. A recent winner of the Taste Master at The Spirits Business’ Gin Masters Awards 2021 and with an array of gin accolades behind them, Elephant Gin is sure to wow this Mother’s Day.

Ideal for Mother’s Day, Elephant Gin offers their gins with a personal message, a gift that both tastes great and is one of a kind, plus 15% of the profit from each bottle also gives back to foundations that work to protect African elephants. What is not to love?

Taste wise, expect a journey through sun-soaked African vistas, driven by a range of African botanicals, pure spring water and fresh apples. The result is a memorable gin with a pleasant, yet not overwhelming floral nature, hints of pine and earthy spice, completed by orange peel and ginger.

A beautiful looking and delicious tasting gift with the added benefit of raising money for a worthwhile cause. Elephant Gin’s personalised gifting sets are available from www.elephant-gin.com.

Conker Port Barrel Aged Gin (£50)

Another elegant gin, Conker Port Barrel Aged Gin is a premium pink gin with real class. Conker Spirit have become renowned for sublime gins in recent years, racking up awards internationally in the process, and rightly so! This particular signature Dorset Dry gin comes with a lofty £50 price tag, placing it at the higher-end of gin price lists, but is it worth it? Absolutely!

Rested for 8 weeks in used Port barrels from Portugal, this gin takes on a spell-binding fruity and complex flavour profile. Over the 8 weeks the 5-year old port is extracted from the barrel wall, lending the gin its distinct flavour and ruby pink look. They have managed to perfectly marry super dry juniper with touches of vanilla oak, warm spice and sweet red fruits. Inside this gin, aside from the Dorset Coast botanicals, New Forest Spring water lends it a smoothness. Also, it’s worth noting that only British wheat is used in the process! The resulting gin is a wonderful exhibition of British craft and ingredients.

This gin deserves nothing less than to be sipped over a few big chunks of ice in your favourite tumbler. Add tonic to that equation and you have one of the tastiest G&Ts we’ve ever encountered.

Combine 50ml Port Barrel Gin, 200ml classic Indian tonic water and Grapefruit or orange peel for the perfect serve.

Conker Spirit gins are available from their website or Tesco, M&S, Waitrose, Ocado, Masters of Malt, Whisky Exchange, The Gin Foundry,  Amazon and more.

Darnley’s Original Gin (from £28 for 70cl)

For those Mum’s with a sustainable eye (and who just love high quality gin), Darnley’s Gin has launched recyclable gin pouches, a unique and different gift for any gin-lover!

These stylish gin pouches are available in 70cl for each of the Darnley’s Gin Original, Spiced Gin & Navy Strength products.

Darnley’s Gin is created in a village just outside Fife and it uses only the finest, natural ingredients, beautiful botanicals and the purest Scottish water. Their natural only approach means nothing artificial, no colourings and only authentic flavours. Just outside their distillery hand-picked and hand-grown ingredients can be found growing in the Darnley’s Cottage garden. Their Original gin is in the London Dry style, giving a taste of grapefruit and juniper, with elderflowers notes, amongst others, on the nose. Light and citrussy, ideal for a Spring evening!

Artisan Coffee Co. The Heroine ‘On The Go’ (£29.99) and Nespresso® Compatible Pod Taster Pack (£33)

Nothing kickstarts a day better than a high-quality cup of coffee! The Artisan Coffee Co. have a superb selection of coffee related gifts for those who dabble in coffee to the coffee aficionados!

We are particular fans of their gift collections and their range of delicious Nespresso compatible pods! Here’s why…

The Heroine ‘On The Go’ collection has been created for the modern, always on the move individual.

One of their signature 100% natural Arabica speciality coffees, The Heroine (one of a range of flavours), combines rich chocolate notes with hints of hazelnut, elevating the experience with a subtle flavour profile. The set comes complete with 20 coffee bags, each individually packed and sealed for freshness of taste and aroma. Simply tear open, pour over hot water and enjoy. The handy KeepCup included is perfectly formed in size and has an ergonomic feel for the hand, making it our new morning companion when on the go.

But that’s not all… One of the greatest tricks up the sleeve of this coffee brand is their slick, smart and delectable “chocolate flights”. Chocolate flights, much-like wine flights in a restaurant, are hand-picked chocolate treats to match the flavour profile of your chosen coffee. A stunning idea and one that really creates a lavish experience. You simply have to give it a go for yourself!

Nespresso fans rejoice too, thanks to the  Compatible Pod Taster Pack priced at £33. The taster pack features 6 coffee blends and paired chocolates, giving you an enticing and exciting opportunity to explore the Artisan Coffee Co. range.

100% natural Arabica coffee, 100% home-recyclable and 100% scrumptious, each flavour profile just works. A neat trick we didn’t expect is that these pods are designed to improve upon the delivery of your Nespresso system. In fact, the Artisan pods have been designed to flow more slowly than Nespresso pods to capture maximum aroma and enhanced character in every cup. The result really works, drawing out a little more oomph from each pod than your everyday Nespresso pod.

Highly recommended, grab a gift from the Artisan Coffee Co. here.
