December is here, and that means the annual racking of brains for present ideas. This year we’ve compiled a few thoughts on potential gifts for your loved ones from within our own family of clients. We hope they spark your imagination…

Brighton Gin

https://brightongin.com/

Brighton Gin are veterans in the craft gin distillery game. Kathy and her team have been awarded over 20 regional, national, and international awards. Try their Pavilion Strength gin or if you’re feeling like something a little stronger…perhaps the Navy Strength is the best pick for a present this year.

Danish Concept Stores Limited

https://www.danishcollection.co.uk/

As with many great stories, the tale behind Danish Collection started when Judith Jørgensen and her husband moved to the UK in 1999. Her husband, Leo Jørgensen, had taken up a new working role in England and Judith immediately fell in love with the country as she and her family received such a warm welcome from all that they met. Be inspired by simple and elegant Scandinavian design and browse their site or visit their Sevenoaks store for some Nordic Christmas inspiration.

Espresso Solutions

https://espresso-solutions.co.uk/

Since 2012, Espresso Solutions have been supplying the cafés, roasteries, baristas and coffee professionals with the tools they need to stay on top of their game. From coffee machine parts to cafe supplies, water treatment to barista tools and beyond, they’ve got it covered.

Gifted Turtles

Davenport Organic Vineyards

https://www.davenportvineyards.co.uk/

In 1991 Will Davenport planted 5 acres of vines at Horsmonden in Kent, while simultaneously working for a Hampshire vineyard and, unintentionally, this became the beginning of a life-long business as a wine producer.

‘We believe that the route to making the best wines is to work with nature and this has to begin with organic grapes…’

Davenport wine can be ordered directly from the website…perfect for Christmas day.

Sussex Beds

www.sussexbeds.co.uk

If you’re looking for a cosy place to rest this winter and indeed for a long time after…how about taking a trip to Sussex Beds…

Sussex Beds is a true independent family business. This is immediately obvious with its warm welcome & relaxed shopping experience. Many of the staff you meet, from the showroom to delivery team are directly related to John & Sandra. All are on hand to help & guide you in finding products, which meet both needs & budgets.

PP Estates garden machinery

https://www.ppestates.co.uk/

Looking for a gift for the aspiring horticulturalist? Or does a loved one just enjoy blowing leaves around? PP Estates are Uckfield’s independent garden machinery specialists. The discerning gardener is offered far more than just lawnmowers, the showroom is stocked with a tool for nearly every job you can think of in the garden…present problem solved.

Piltdown Golf club

https://www.piltdowngolfclub.co.uk/

Piltdown welcomes visitors and members and would be an ideal present for the golfer or walker in your life…get in touch with the Pro Shop to check availability or head in to find a range of golf paraphernalia to bolster your stocking fillers.

A local meal out…

https://highlandsinn.co.uk/
https://cockpub.co.uk/
https://theheathfieldtavern.co.uk/

Not into material gifts? The Christmas season wouldn’t be complete without over-indulging in food, drink and general merriment. Check out the atmosphere and events at The Highlands in Ridgewood, the Cock at Ringmer and the Heathfield Tavern for a local festive night out.

Push the boat out…

We also have a few options for those loved ones that have been extra good this year in 2021 and are deserving of a more substantial gift…

Paragon Porsche

https://www.paragongb.com/

Exceptional pre-owned Porsches for sale in Sussex, one of our more expensive suggestions perhaps but take a look at their stock and perhaps book a test drive.

Heart of the South Racing

https://hotsr.co.uk/

Now we know a horse won’t fit in a stocking……however, owning a racehorse is a hobby in everyone’s grasp thanks to racing syndicates and is more accessible and affordable than ever before.  Heart of the South Racing offers an honest service that takes all the effort out of owning a racehorse and make it a social thing, where owners can get to know each other at the races and at social events…but a remember a horse is not just for Christmas…

Merry Christmas from everyone here at Swindells…we hope these ideas spark your imagination.
