With Christmas just behind us and the new year to look up to, the last week of the year is a festive time that brings with it some amazing gifting opportunities for yourself as well as for your near and dear ones. Take a look at 10 of the best options from a wide variety that we’ve curated for you, in case you’re still hunting for last-minute and cool amazing gifts.

1 – Sorrentina’s Buon Natale

Sorrentina has introduced Buon Natale, a 21-day long festival that celebrates the Christmas spirit in all its glory. You can dive into a selection of small plates like Baked Brie (a phyllo pastry stuffed with Truffle Brie, Salt roasted Beetroot and Sesame), Zucchini Flower Frito (a delicate Zucchini flower stuffed with Lamb Bolognese that is then coated in Bread crumbs) and Lentil Giandujia Toast (slow-cooked Puy Lentils and Home Pickled Ndujia served on freshly made Toasted Ciabatta bread) apart from a variety of pizzas and pasta.

Be sure to round up your meal with mains like Ossobuco (a traditional speciality of Lombard cuisine where the lamb shanks are braised for 8 hours served in the pan jus over a bed of potato mash) and sign off with a Mince Pudding Tart (soaked fruits filled in a sweet-tart crust served with a Gingerbread gelato).

If you’re looking to bring the festivities home, Sorrentina has also introduced a Boozy Tiramisu (a Kahlua spiked take on their classic Tiramisu), a Mulled Wine Kit in collaboration with KC Roasters and pre-bottled Christmas cocktails available for takeaway from their restaurant. That probably sounds the most interesting to us on the list at the moment!
