Finding the perfect gift for loved ones at Christmas can be a bit of a challenge. It’s always hard to know what people already own and the types of products they would appreciate.

However, if you are looking to buy a present for a Welsh holiday fanatic, there are plenty of Welsh artisans around creating unique presents which are sure to go down a storm on the big day. Irrespective of whether the gift recipient owns a holiday home in Wales, or is simply proud to have been born in the country, there are sure to be Welsh made gifts available that will be right up their street.

To help you in your search for the perfect present, we’ve put together a short selection of unusual Welsh gifts for Christmas that could be the answer to all of your problems:

A Welsh Hamper
Everyone loves a hamper at Christmas, and you can order one which is filled with gifts made in Wales from the Anglesey Hamper Company.

Based in Holyhead, the Anglesey Hamper Company offers a range of packages which are filled with products that have been made by artisans and reputed companies which are based in Anglesey or the wider Welsh region. You have the option to create your very own personalised hamper, selecting between 4 and 30 items which will be placed in a beautifully designed hamper which is sure to impress this Christmas.

Products available in the store include food items such as special cheese made by the Snowdonia Cheese Company, festive tipples such as whiskeys made at the Penderyn Distillery and beauty products such as Celtic Herbal’s skincare range.

If you don’t know the recipient well enough to be able to select the items personally, then you can instead opt for one of the ready made themed packages such as their vegan hamper, cheese & wine hamper or the ‘Step into Christmas’ hamper which contains all of those festive essentials. Delivery is free on all orders over £75.

Welsh Slate Homeware
Based in Neath in South Wales, Slate House offers a selection of personalised slate gifts for the home. All of the products are made only from Welsh slate sourced from Blaenau Ffestiniog and are personally designed & handcrafted from their Glamorgan workshop.

Options range from homeware such as their stunning Welsh wine racks, coasters and placemats, through to their personalised clocks, house signs and hanging signs where messages can be tailored towards the recipient you have in mind.

Slate House has even launched a range of Christmas items that you may want to take into consideration for your own home. You can choose from slate Christmas tree decorations, hanging signs and even festive cheese boards. It wouldn’t be Christmas if you couldn’t treat yourself to a gift too, right?

Welsh Cheeses
Earlier in this post we briefly mentioned the Snowdonia Cheese Company whose products are available at the Anglesey Hamper Company. Well, if the person you have in mind is a bit of a foodie and, more specifically, a cheese fiend, you may instead want to opt for a hamper which is filled entirely with products from the award winning Cheese monger.

There are a number of different hampers to choose from, with the choice dependent on the preferences of the gift recipient and of course your budget. One of the most popular is their ‘Quintessential Cheese Hamper’ which contains 5 of their cheeses along with a selection of chutneys and crackers.

Alternatively you can opt for hampers which also contain alcoholic beverages such as ports and wines, or instead tailor it towards someone who has a sweet tooth by opting for their cheese and chocolate hampers.

Welsh Jewellery
Looking for something extra special for the love of your life? Then you may want to consider a piece of jewellery from the famous Clogau. All of their products are made from gold which has been sourced almost exclusively from Snowdonia. This is the same Welsh gold which has been used by certain highly placed members of the royal family for over 100 years and includes the wedding ring of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Any piece of jewellery purchased from Clogau is therefore entrenched in Welsh traditions and a symbol of exceptional quality. You can choose from white gold, rose gold and more traditional gold items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and now also stunning timepieces for both men and women.

Welsh Beauty Products
Finding a gift which is both high quality and supports disadvantaged members of the society can be a challenge. But that is exactly what you get when you purchase beauty products from The Myddfai Trading Company.

This Welsh social enterprise was set up with the intention of providing opportunities to vulnerable members of the Anglesey community. Established in Llangadog in 2010, the company provides work experiences for these individuals, helping to boost their confidence and provide opportunities for social interaction

Myddfai produces a range of beauty, hair and bathing products in addition to home fragrances which includes a number of special festive scents that will really help the gift recipient get into the Christmas spirit. You can also choose from a selection of hampers featuring many of the brands most popular products.
