Foodini children's cooking boxes are such a lovely gift idea. Buy one of their one-off Christmas boxes and get the children to make you some Christmas goodies (there are four to choose from: Chocopops, Xmas Tree Biscuits, Xmas Pud chocolate truffles or Gold medals).

Or, why not really instil a love of cooking in a little person and gift them a subscription box (available as 3, 6 or 12 month subscriptions). Delivered monthly, they are crammed full of goodies including recipe cards, pre-measured herbs and spices, collectable cards and even food experiments. Great for everyone - from tiny budding chefs to fussy eaters.

Foodini get 10/10 on the original gift scale.
