Early Gift Ideas For Christmas

It is only October but we all know how fast time flies and why not start with your shopping now to avoid a last minute rush and panic.

As the economic climate has not improved since 2008 the best gifts are those that are attractive and practical at the same time.

Among these gifts belong ceramic handmade and decorated kitchen and tableware. We all spend more time in our kitchens than in any other room in the house so colourful ceramic oven proof dishes , hand decorated utensil holders , spoon rests and handmade ramekins , perfect for the individual crme brulee, souffl and, eventually Christmas puddings are the perfect gift. They brighten up the kitchen in red fire, dark green, earthen yellow and other wonderful colours, provide a cheerful yet comfortable and homely atmosphere and are practical at the same time.

A favourite gift is the decorated ceramic gravy boat ideal for a Sunday roast or Christmas Turkey meal together with an oval or square oven proof dish that serves vegetables like cauliflower cheese.

Add a big round ceramic oven proof dish for a wonderful fruit crumble with a red fire ceramic gravy boat (link), but this time filled with cream to pour over the dessert and the dinner table is almost perfect. It looks warm, inviting and delicious!

Other gifts can add to this. A ceramic wine cooler would be perfect. Do not forget to get the plate to go along with it. These wine coolers are not glazed inside to keep the ice and wine colder but this also means that a little water may seep through the burned clay so a small plate is essential.

To finish things off the ceramic handmade coffee cups and saucers (, ideally crafted in the Provence, South of France, together with a lovely sugar dish can round the evening off.

The secret here is to find gifts for your friends home that can add in colour and dcor to their existing table and dinnerware sets. The gifts shall improve what is already there, not clash or double.

It is still early so the next time you visit your friends houses have a quick look in the kitchen and dining room and find out what could be missing, what would be the ideal addition, which colour combinations would be ideal and what type of ceramics, pottery or porcelain they own and collect.

After a bit of observation, you may decide on a wonderful handmade and decorated ceramic vase,candlestick, napkin holder or soap dish.

One thing is guaranteed: all handmade ceramics from the Provence will bring a smile to the receiver!
