Blog. Forget Black Friday, we’ve got LOTS of awesome gifts

Before you get swept up in the consumerist wave of Black Friday and Cyber Monday take a moment to check out our 16th Christmas annual online auction.

Forget socks, flamingo egg cups (really, they’re a thing) or never-to-be-used vouchers for shops that only have three branches at the opposite end of the country. We’ve got some of the most unique and exciting gifts for the foodie in your life.

Today sees the launch of our annual online auction. There are some amazing lots on offer including:

• Exclusive afternoon tea experiences across the UK, from the Driftwood Hotel in Cornwall, to The Great House in Wales or the iconic Fairmont at St Andrews in Scotland.
• Dining experiences on offer range from six courses in Glenapp Castle, Ayrshire to Michelin-starred dining at Essex’s The Flitch of Bacon.
• Pick a five star luxury overnight stay at The Hari in Belgravia or the Summer Lodge Country House Hotel in Evershot, Dorset.
• A pair of red Chaud Devant Michelin boots signed by Alain Roux.

There are some unique experiences in our auction that make the perfect gift for that special someone. The final deadline for bids is 2pm on Friday November 30th – get your bids in now.

Your gift won’t just make your loved one’s Christmas magical, you’ll be spreading some warmth to our beneficiaries. Your generosity could help a family through one of their most challenging times.

Plus, if you buy one of our lots we promise you won’t get involved in a brawl at ASDA over a TV.

Going once… Going twice… Get bidding!
