The Best Food and Drink Subscriptions Boxes for Christmas - esquire.com

lemperbon.blogspot.com

Given how crap the first couple of months of any year is, we can only speculate on quite how pants January 2021 is likely to be. One of the great kindnesses you can do for your loved ones is to extend the Christmas vibes some way into the New Year with the gift of a subscription box, and one of the kindest great kindnesses is to make sure that subscription box is absolutely delicious. We've picked out 12 of the best food and drink subs boxes you can gift to your family and mates.

1 Wanderlust wine club

SHOP

At this stage let's just treat Dry January as a very nice idea in principle. Wanderlust puts together crates of organic, sustainable red, white and sparkling wines they'll (very probably) not have discovered yet, along with tasting notes, guides and access to tasting events. The Silver Club is £24 per month, Gold is £58 and Platinum £100.

2 The Ethical Butcher

SHOP

Nothing quite says 'I love you' like a gigantic box of extremely conscientiously raised meat. The Ethical Butcher works with farmers who help regenerate the biodiversity of their land as well as making very tasty meat. Here you've got a very, very nice leg of lamb which comes as part of the premium lamb box, which butchers a half lamb into popular cuts – yer shoulder, yer rack of ribs, yer neck fillets and the like.

3 Homage 2 Fromage

SHOP

One to land in the days before Christmas. A festive cheese box for two comes in at £40 for six very fine cheeses plus crackers, condiments and a quiz, or there are gift cards to let your mate choose their own box.

4 Wild Radish

SHOP

Top-end chefs including Michelin starred Alyn Williams and The Modern Pantry's Anna Hansen put together the make-at-home menu for Wild Radish. Recent dishes have included marinated quail with chickpeas. With wine for two picked by an expert it's £70 a month, without it's £55.

5 Hotel Chocolat

SHOP

There are a lot of different subscriptions here, including standard chocolate boxes and drinking chocolate, but the newest is probably the most interesting. The Inventing Room is a limited membership club where you'll get to try out new recipes at the earliest stages of production. It's extremely Willy Wonka.

6 Mindful Chef

SHOP

Each week, a box with enough ingredients for between two and five recipes turns up at your door, and it's all high-quality, sustainably farmed, organic stuff. Plus, the insulation is made from recycled denim and for every box bought they donate a meal to a child in need. With a gift card you can set someone up with credit from £30 up to £500.

7 DabbaDrop

SHOP

DabbaDrop's weekly changing menus of genuinely healthy vegan curries take in curryhouse favourites and regional dishes from across South Asia. More than that, DabbaDrop bills itself as waste-free, plastic-free and emission-free: food arrives in reusable steel dabba pots delivered by bike. Choose a gift card paying for one, two or four meals. It's London only at the mo, though. Sorry, regions.

8 Pasta Evangelists

SHOP

A three-month gift subscription will send your mate two servings of fresh pasta and attendant bits and pieces per month, from wild boar ragu with pappardelle to mushroom, sage and ricotta ravioli in sage butter sauce. Molto bene.

9 Honeywell bread baking club

SHOP

Yes, those are doughnuts. They're included in the bread club though, which is a simple way to expand your friends' repertoires beyond banana bread. Each drop includes pre-weighed ingredients and a recipe card, and recent bakes have included pretzels, soda bread, a honey seeded loaf and gingerbread doughnuts.

10 Cake or Death brownie boxes

SHOP

The other way to ride out the cold, dark months is with baked goods. A three-month prepaid subscription to this East London bakery's brownies is £48, and you can send them jacked up with raspberry, Biscoff, peanut butter, hazelnut, raspberry blondies or a greatest hits package.

11 Beerbods

SHOP

Every two months you get a crate of eight beers, the idea being that everyone drinks one beer a week and compares notes with a live tasting session each Thursday night. Recent beers have included Belching Beaver’s peanut butter milk stout and a golden Tripel Karmeliet by Brouwerij Bousteels, so you're looking at a head-first leap into the psychedelic end of world beer. There’s a sliding scale of commitment between two months for £24 and a full year for £150.

12 The Spicery curry subscription

SHOP

You know the deal: pre-measured ingredients delivered to your door. Each month you get a curry to feed four people plus sides like naans, salads and chutneys, and you can switch between seven available recipes each time.
