Christmas gift ideas with Le Origini treats

A gift that is good to eat has one advantage: it never ends up in a drawer. If this year you want to bring or send something that tastes of the bakery, here are a few ideas with our treats, from panettone to cangelle, for different people and tastes.

The holiday gift: a panettone

Panettone is still the most recognisable Christmas gift. Our collection has six, from the Tradizionale Innovativo with candied Sicilian orange and raisins, to the Gianduia Intenso with hazelnut paste and double dark chocolate. If you are unsure which to choose, our guide Which panettone to choose will help you.

Panettone and vincotto sweets

For a richer gift you can pair the panettone with a pack of vincotto sweets, which bring the aromas of the holidays with fig syrup, cocoa and lemon. A few pairings we like:

• the Panettone Intense Noir Dark with mostaccioli with dark chocolate coating, for those who can never get enough cocoa;
• the Panettone Pistacchio Cherry with mostaccioli with pistachio coating, for pistachio lovers;
• the Panettone Tradizionale Innovativo with pezzetti with vincotto, scented with cinnamon.

For coffee lovers

The Panettone Cremino Caffè, with coffee and a white chocolate cremino with Madagascar vanilla, together with a pack of almond cantucci to go with the espresso. A gift to open at breakfast or after lunch.

For those who prefer savoury

Not everyone wants something sweet at Christmas. For them there is a different idea: an assortment of cangelle in three flavours, for the holiday aperitivo. For example the traditional ones with fennel seeds, the crusco pepper ones and the olive ones. Each pack contains 20 pieces.

A small token

For a colleague, a neighbour or the host who invited you to dinner, a single well-chosen pack is enough:

• chocolate scorzette, with toasted almonds and dark chocolate;
• almond pastries, scented with cinnamon and lemon;
• cantucci with white chocolate coating or one of the other coated versions;
• mostaccioli with vincotto, the holiday sweet in its simplest form.

Plan ahead

If you prepare your gifts a few weeks in advance, keep an eye on the shelf life shown on each product's page. In our catalogue, for example, cangelle and almond cantucci have a shelf life of 4 months, mostaccioli with vincotto, pezzetti and almond pastries 3 months, and chocolate scorzette 2 months.

Send it straight to whoever you like

You don't have to have everything delivered to your home: at checkout you can enter the address of the person you are giving the gift to as the shipping address. You will find all the details on the Shipping and returns page.

If instead you are thinking of gifts for your company's clients or staff, visit the Retailers and businesses page.
