Alongside this, choose between mulled wine or mulled cider – with options to add a selection of British cheeses.

Panzer’s
Truffle Lovers Hamper, £120
This St John’s Wood deli has been serving culinary delights from all over the world to north London residents for over 80 years. It offers an impressive selection of hampers, but we particularly like the look of the Truffle Lovers Hamper, which is designed for lovers of Italian food. There’s truffle butter, of course, alongside spaghetti, pesto, porcini mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes for the perfect winter dinner. Finish on a sweet note with an extra-large milk and hazelnut chocolate bar.
