This year, instead of the typical gift options, why not surprise them with something truly exceptional? 

Savernake Knives, a proudly British brand, offers just the right blend of craftsmanship, utility, and personalisation to make Christmas gifting not just thoughtful but truly memorable.

A Heritage of British Craftsmanship

Founded in the heart of Wiltshire, Savernake Knives embodies centuries of British craftsmanship. With a dedication to creating world-class kitchen knives, each blade is handmade with precision and care, ensuring it not only performs flawlessly but is a joy to use. When you choose a Savernake knife, you are choosing a piece of British heritage, made by a team of skilled artisans who take pride in every blade they produce.

Bold Design Meets Functionality

The team at Savernake doesn’t just make knives that look good – they make knives that work. Blades are crafted using the highest quality materials, ensuring sharpness, durability, and balance. Whether your gift recipient is a professional chef or a passionate home cook, they’ll appreciate the effortless control and comfort a Savernake knife offers. Each knife is designed to be both bold in its appearance and exceptional in its performance.

The modern, sleek designs of Savernake knives also set them apart. Their aesthetic appeal goes hand in hand with their practical application, making them the perfect addition to any kitchen, from contemporary to classic. This attention to both form and function is what makes a Savernake knife not just a tool but a statement piece.

Personalised Gifts for Christmas

One of the most unique and exciting features of Savernake Knives is the ability to personalise each blade. This Christmas, why not add an extra touch of thoughtfulness to your gift by having a name, message, or special date engraved onto the blade? Whether it’s “Dad’s Best Carving Knife” or “Christmas 2024”, this personalisation turns a beautiful gift into a cherished keepsake. Savernake’s bespoke options ensure that each knife is as individual as the person receiving it.

Personalised knives make an excellent gift for all sorts of people – from the budding cook to the seasoned chef. They also offer a fantastic opportunity to commemorate special moments, such as a family Christmas, an engagement, or a milestone birthday.

Beautifully Packaged for the Perfect Presentation

Savernake Knives come presented in elegant packaging, designed to highlight the beauty of the knife within. Whether you choose a single knife or opt for a complete set, your gift will arrive ready to wow on Christmas morning. The packaging is just the beginning of a unique and memorable gifting experience.

A Thoughtful, Sustainable Choice

At a time when many of us are looking to make more eco-conscious choices, Savernake Knives stand out. Their production process is committed to sustainability, with each knife made to last a lifetime, reducing the need for replacement. Instead of a disposable, mass-produced item, a Savernake knife is a sustainable gift that will be cherished for years to come.

Why Choose Savernake Knives for Christmas?

Christmas is a time to celebrate those we love, and what better way to show someone you care than with a personalised gift that reflects both quality and thoughtfulness?

A Very Social Spirit! Celebrate Togetherness at Xmas With Masons of Yorkshire's Personalised Products, Award-Winning Gins and Vodkas, All Locally Produced in Yorkshire

Following on from our previous blogpost featuring amazing personalised Christmas gifts, That's Christmas brings you news of Masons of Yorkshire.

Ten years ago, gin lovers Karl and Cathy Mason set up a Facebook page about their favourite spirit. They were posting reviews of their delicious finds, followers followed, and soon 10k people were on the page, joining in the chat and sharing their gincredible finds too.

It took a lot of time to manage thousands of comments and reviews - and then the couple had the lightbulb moment: what if we did this all the time? And Masons of Yorkshire was born. The distillery was the first to open in Yorkshire, right at the start of the gin boom that swept across the UK and beyond.

This year the company celebrates a decade of distilling. 24 people are now employed at the stunning state-of-the-art distillery in beautiful Bedale, North Yorkshire, which is open for tours and events all year round. Masons of Yorkshire has won countless awards the world over, (over 180!) and exports products internationally. 

With a gin portfolio consisting of the 10th Anniversary Gin, Original, Tea Edition, Orange & Lime Leaf, Pear & Pink Peppercorn, Pink Grapefruit & Cucumber, Fruit of the Tropics and English Lavender, the Masons have lent their expert hand to crafting Luxury British Vodka, and sales have doubled in the last year as at-home cocktail enthusiasts and bars discover the smoothness of the Original, Citrus, Espresso and Chocolate expressions. 

Now a proudly carbon-neutral business, Masons of Yorkshire will dedicate the next 10 years to creating business and jobs for local people as sustainably as possible, building on a legacy of creating award-winning 'no gimmicks' gin and vodka, and being at the forefront of British produced distilled spirits.

Stand out products for stand out gifts, let your family and friends know how much you treasure them by sending the original and best.

They can personalise their award-winning range of Gins and Vodkas with up to 20 characters on the front label. From £37.95 for 70cl.

The serious Gin for the serious Gin Lover - 52% abv

To mark the 10 year anniversary, Masons of Yorkshire has released a special edition gin, with the star of the show being juniper, to celebrate the plant that started it all. The gin has been crafted to be juniper rich, to share with the gin aficionados and gin lovers out there that have supported the brand.

In addition to the juniper, the gin also features other key botanicals such as coriander, fresh lime and bay leaf. These botanicals add complexity to the gin, making it a well-rounded and delicious spirit.

The gin features two different varieties of juniper, distilled three ways: pot still, vapor basket, and vacuum distillation. It's bottled at 52% ABV, 10% higher in ABV than the Masons of Yorkshire Original Edition, (1% for every year!) a punchy flavour fitting for a 10th anniversary celebration and the perfect strength to deliver a juniper hit. The gin will be presented in a beautiful presentation box, made from fine linen with foiled copper detailing. The ultimate in luxury gin.
