Christmas is right around the corner and finding the ideal gifts for our loved ones can prove to be quite a challenge. Thankfully, if that someone special has a passion for holidaying in Anglesey, there are plenty of Anglesey themed gifts that you may want to take into consideration.

Irrespective of whether they are a foodie, love jewellery or enjoy the odd tipple, there are plenty of Anglesey gifts that would no doubt go down a hit on the big day. 

So, if you are struggling to find the perfect present, here are a few Anglesey gift ideas that may help to solve your dilemma…

Anglesey Hamper

If your loved one is a foodie, they’ll find plenty of joy in a special hamper put together by the Anglesey Hamper Company. 

Based in Holyhead, the Anglesey Hamper Co has recently opened a store in the town centre where customers can browse the wide selection of items they can opt to add to their personalised hamper. All of these items have Anglesey or Wales based origins with examples being jars of sea salt and seasoning from Halen Môn, fine wines from Red Wharf Bay Vineyard and chocolate bars from Melin Llynnon. 

If you don’t know the recipient well enough to be able to determine their food preferences, then you can opt for one of the ready-made hampers which are tailored towards special dietary requirements or themes. This includes a vegan hamper and packages made up for tea enthusiasts or beer aficionados. 

Halen Môn

We’ve already briefly mentioned Halen Môn, but they also have a store that is open to the public at their Anglesey HQ. Located in Brynsiencyn, the Halen Môn store is the perfect way to complete a tour of their facilities and includes much more than just salt and condiments.

However, this is their bread and butter, and there are a wider variety of different sea salts here than you will ever have thought possible. There are Christmassy options such as sea salt with a touch of pumpkin spice, chilli & garlic flavoured sea salt and special gift sets containing a number of different options so that the gift recipient can really get a taste for what is on offer. 

Alongside this are special books detailing sea salt inspired recipes, Halen Môn table sauces such as their sensational black garlic ketchup and even award winning gins which are flavoured by slight hints of their sea salt. There are even sea salt inspired soaps and beauty products for any non-foodies that you may be looking to buy gifts for. 

Beth Horrocks Artwork

Artist Beth Horrocks was born and raised on Anglesey where from a very early age she gained an appreciation of the coastal vistas that Anglesey is so famous for. This has gone on to inspire much of her subsequent work which showcases the beautiful landscapes, wildlife and iconic landmarks which are immediately recognisable in her art.

Beth even has her own gallery which first opened in December 2022 and showcases some of her finest works. This is located in the Cei Llechi regeneration project building on the Caernarfon quay. 

You can pay her a visit and see her in action creating the stunning artwork which is available to buy in a variety of different forms. You can choose from framed prints, cards, calendars, coasters, tea towels, cushions and much more. 

Myddfai Beauty Products

The Myddfai Trading Company is a social enterprise which was set up in 2010 with the intention of creating opportunities for vulnerable individuals in the Anglesey community. Based in Llangadog, the company provides work experience for these individuals in addition to fostering social interaction and ultimately aims to boost their confidence. 

You can choose from bathing luxuries, hair & body products and invigorating home fragrance products which make the gift recipient feel like a million dollars and know that the profits from the gift they have received is going to a good cause. 

Alongside the individual items, Myddfai also offers gift box collections of their goods which are perfect for birthdays or the festive season. There are the 12 days of Christmas wax melts, Anglesey inspired Sea Breeze gift set which combines beauty & home fragrance products and eclectic hand soap sets. 

Seapig Jewellery

Based in Ty Croes just outside of Rhosneigr, Seapig is a family run Anglesey business which creates stunning seaglass jewellery that you won’t find anywhere else. 

The pieces of seaglass are collected from nearby beaches by hand as part of a family activity involving mum, dad and their two kids. The seaglass is then taken back to their HQ where mum Cara creates Anglesey inspired jewellery for women, men and children which are simply spectacular.

You can purchase their items online or from their gallery which is the perfect place to peruse their handmade jewellery and also a selection of upcycled goods which have been made by eco artisans from the local area. 

Much of Seapig’s work is commissioned based, so feel free to get in touch with them if you have a specific item of seaglass jewellery that you want to have created for the special person in your life.
