Christmas Gifts & Treats

Christmas is one of those occasions when the food genuinely matters. If you’re buying for someone who cares about food, GingerBeard’s Preserves Christmas range is a very good place to start.

Made in small batches in Bristol, and many made in collaboration with the city’s craft breweries, these are the kind of products that surprise and delight, and get people coming back for more long after Christmas is over. 

Here are a few ideas to get you thinking.

For the Cheeseboard Obsessive: Fig & Sour Cherry Christmas Chutney (£5.99)

This is the Christmas jar. Rich, sweet, and properly boozy, it’s made with a Baltic Porter from Lost & Grounded Brewers, a Bristol brewery with serious credentials, which brings hints of chocolate and roasted malt to the fruit (available from early November 2026 – previous edition with Fresh Standard Brewing currently on sale). 

The sour cherries are soaked in the porter, giving them a lovely boozy burst when bitten into. For the full experience, track down a bottle of Lost & Grounded’s Baltic Porter! 

For the Turkey Table: Old Ale Cranberry Sauce (£5.99)

Cranberry sauce gets taken for granted. This one shouldn’t be. Made in collaboration with Moor Beer Co, it swaps the usual sweetness for something with a little more depth — the old ale adds warmth and complexity that makes it work as well with leftovers on Boxing Day as it does with the main event. Pair it with a glass of Moor Beer to close the loop on where the flavour came from.

For the Chilli Pickle Person: Chilli Pickled Onions 1KG (£14.99)

A kilo of chilli-pickled onions is not a subtle gift, which is exactly what makes it the right one for the right person. These are a Christmas range staple for good reason — brilliant on a Ploughman’s, alongside cold cuts, or on a cheeseboard when someone’s already finished the chutney.

Grab two jars with the 2 for £25 deal and you’ve got a very satisfying present. 

For the Craft Beer Lover: Craft Christmas Gift Box (£16.49)

A selection of our three Christmas jars made with beer! You will find our bestselling Original Beer & Bacon Chilli Jam (we all know someone who loves all three!); our Fig & Sour Cherry Christmas Chutney (for a serious grown-up cheeseboard) and our Old Ale Cranberry Sauce – because something awesome needs to go into that all mighty boxing day sandwich. 

For the Build-It-Yourself Gifter: Build Your Own Gift Box (£16.49)

Pick three jars from the range, mix the Christmas chutney with a bestseller or two, or go full cheeseboard and throw in the Pale Ale & Juniper Mustard alongside the Fig & Sour Cherry — and GingerBeard’s Preserves will box it up for you. It’s a gift that feels considered without requiring you to have thought of it too far in advance.

For the Condiments with Everything Lover: 12 Days of GingerBeard’s Preserves Calendar (£29.99)

12 little pots of joy to crack open every day for 12 days! Whether you gift it as an advent calendar to keep things exciting in the run-up to the big day or gift it on Christmas day to stay with tradition – this one is perfect for those who just love to add a condiment to the table! 

Not Sure? There’s Always a Gift Voucher (from £10)

For the person who wants to choose their own jars, a GingerBeard’s Preserves gift voucher is a clean solution. They get to browse the full range at their own pace, and you don’t have to guess whether they’d prefer the Cranberry Sauce or the Beer & Bacon Chilli Jam. (They’d probably want both.)
