Christmas Gingerbread gift guide {2024}

I wasn’t sure about producing a gingerbread gift guide this year. Although they are fun to put together, it always leaves us with a lot of gingerbread products to eat! This year I have carefully curated a smaller amount of gingerbread products which we’re enjoying this year. Gingerbread is always popular but this year it seems to be everywhere, including the Tesco Christmas advert – have you seen it yet?

For the home

When the Emma Bridgewater catalogue landed on my doormat I couldn’t believe she had produced a gingerbread themed range. It’s a small range of only 5 products, a gingerbread house 1/2 pint mug, a small mug, 8 1.2 inch plate, 6 1/2 inch plate and small bowl. I treated myself to the 1/2 pint mug. It’s lovely, featuring a row of gingerbread houses and trees.

Gingerbread seems to be a huge theme this Christmas. We popped into our local B&M and they had all kinds of products from crackers to candles and cushions. The only item I bought was this sweet gingerbread house breadboard. There is also a gingerbread man shaped board too. It makes a fun ornament but I think it will make a great cheeseboard on Christmas Day!

I can’t resist a scented candle so picked up a great sticking filler from John Lewis, a gingerbread tin scented candle.

The Range is another shop which seems to stock a huge amount of gingerbread products this year. I picked up a sweet gingerbread man hand towel. It’s super soft and we’re already using it.

This year I came across Wentworth cracker puzzles I couldn’t resist buying one for each of us to open with our Christmas lunch as an alternative to traditional Christmas crackers. They have a whole range of them, but one features a colourful Gingerbread House puzzle with delightful whimsies inspired by the theme of the puzzle, including a gingerbread man and Christmas tree shaped piece. This has been designed exclusively for Wentworth Puzzles by new artist, Pimlada Phuapradit.

Next is another of those shops which has gone all out for gingerbread this year. They have so many products but I didn’t really need anything except for this gorgeous gingerbread house candle. This brown baked gingerbread light up scented candle is a sweet, spicy, treacle delight, that smells like it’s freshly baked from the oven.

I can’t resist a gingerbread man and love the ones made by Forest Clay Ceramics, her baked gingerbread man will definitely add a sparkle to our tree this year.

Gingerbread sweet treats

I have never come across these Limited Edition Gingerbread Oreos before. The actual biscuits are gingerbread flavour and the cream filling is vanilla. This is the second pack I had to buy as the kids demolished the first pack.

Priced £1.50 available in most food shops

I couldn’t resist a box of Fox’s Festive The Snowman and the Snowdog Gingerbread Minis either. I loved The Snowman when I was younger, and the kids love The Snowdog, so these biscuits will make great after school treats for them.

We like to try and make a gingerbread cake each year. This year we will be trying Sainsbury’s Festive Village Cake Kit. It includes a vanilla flavour sponge cake mix, icing sugar and gingerbread mix. Just need to add egg, unsalted butter, milk and golden syrup. Serves 8

Priced £2.80 available from Sainsbury’s

It doesn’t seem long since we made a gingerbread house as we found a Halloween House Kit in Flying Tiger this year. So instead of making another big gingerbread house, we picked up this Flying Tiger 3 little gingerbread houses set. We also picked up a tube of edible glue to put them together! These make a fun Christmas activity for me to do with the kids.

This Galaxy Gingerbread Hot Chocolate is a last minute addition as I am still finding some fun gingerbread products in the run up to Christmas. Original Galaxy Hot Chocolate is pretty yummy but this special Galaxy Gingerbread Hot Chocolate is perfect for cosy hot chocs in the run up to the big day.

Priced £2.50 from major supermarkets

I couldn’t resist adding a pack of McVitie’s Digestives Milk Chocolate Gingerbread flavour to our shopping. Chocolate digestives make a great treat and this special festive edition are infused with a special kick of fiery gingerbread. First seen back in 2020 these are back for a limited time in 2024.

When I spotted the Baked by Steph cookies I knew I wanted one for my stocking. I picked the Santa Gingerbread Cookie which is hand iced.

Price £5.00 from johnlewis.com

when someone posted the Sainsbury’s custard cream twists with a gingerbread flavour filling online I knew I would need to get my hands on them. It took me a few weeks to find but we are already on our second pack. We found the smell a little overpowering but they taste great and would make a fun stocking filler.

Priced £0.65 from Sainbury’s

Have you seen the viral M&S gingerbread and white chocolate cookies? They are soft and gooey and the gingerbread flavour is just right. Sadly the kids ate them all before I managed to take a photo but I thought I would add them here anyway, a must have for Christmas 2024.

Decorations

I couldn’t resist this Flying Tiger fabric garland. Made from polyester, the garland consists of adorable brown gingerbread figures strung together to create a whimsical and cheerful decoration.

Priced £3.00 from Flying Tiger

Another fab product this Flying Tiger paper garland measures 300 cm in length. The brown garland features an adorable string of gingerbread people, perfect for adding a whimsical element to your holiday decor.

You can add a touch of festive charm to your holiday decor with these gingerbread houses and trees hanging decorations from Flying Tiger. Each set includes three brown cardboard garlands, featuring delightful gingerbread houses, trees, and gingerbread people.

I picked up this Flying Tiger excavation kit in the shape of a gingerbread man a few weeks ago. My daughter loves these excavation kits so I know she will enjoy this festive one. I can’t find it on the website any more unfortunately.

Let me know if you come across any gingerbread products you think I may enjoy!
