Hattingley Valley’s Classic Reserve

For the wine connoisseurs, Hattingley Valley have a fantastic selection of wine gifts. 

Hattingley Valley are one of the UK’s most successful wineries, winning over 100 medals, 13 trophies, and three Best in Class for its English sparkling wines. Featured in this guide is one of the most popular wines from Hattingley - the Classic Reserve. 

This non-vintage wine is pale gold in colour with delicate and fine long-lasting bubbles. It combines aromas of green apples with creamy nougat, freshly baked brioche and delicate toasted notes from ageing in bottle. On the palate, the complexity continues with notes of soft lemon sherbet, biscuit and a subtle oak character. 

The wine is lovely, well-balanced on the palate and has a dry and lasting finish. Makes for a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys a little tipple now and then.

Priced at £30 per bottle / £35 with Union Jack gift box, you can purchase the Class Reserve from www.hattingleyvalley.com

Cakes from OGGS

Looking for vegan Easter treats? You have to check out OGGS. They offer a fantastic vegan friendly range of cakes. I have included two yummy products from them in this guide. First up are the OGGS Mini Vanilla Cupcakes (from £3.75) which are mini sponge cakes with vanilla flavour frosting and sprinkles. At under 90 calories each, these are the perfect sweet treat. 

Next is the OGGS Zesty Lemon Cake (from £5.00) which is delicious and zesty lemon sponge cake. Moist, creamy and packed with lemony goodness, this cake is perfect for all occasions. You could add your own Easter themed decorations too!

Both are moreish cakes and you can pick them up from The VeganKind Supermarket. The lemon cake is available from Waitrose and Ocado as well.

dare's Motivational Shake

For the health and fitness enthusiasts, a fab gift would be a bundle of all-purpose, vegan nutritional shakes from dare Motivation. dare is a 'Nutrition Lifestyle Offering' brand who make functional foods that are tasty, nutritious and filling.

dare's Motivational Shake is currently available in 3 flavours:

• Cocoa & Jaffa Orange
• Cocoa Vanilla Frosting and
• Cocoa & Peanut Butter

The shakes contain a unique blend of seeds, superfoods, herbs, phytonutrients, prebiotics, probiotics and all 26 essential vitamins and minerals. Each serving is dosed at the right levels for a perfect balance of complete protein, essential fats, Omega-3, slow-releasing complex carbs and fibre. The shake is marketed as an all-in-one complete nutrition shake and an alternative to unhealthy snacking and junk food, but I personally feel that you could use it as a vegan meal replacement shake, a diet shake or as a nutritious breakfast on the go.

We tried the Cocoa & Peanut Butter flavoured shake and liked it - great taste and easy to drink. It has ingredients like roasted peanuts, Soybean protein, Flaxseeds, Tapioca Fibre, gluten-free oats, Pumpkin Seeds, Maca root powder, turmeric root extract, Acai berry fruit extract, Alfalfa powder, Kale leaf and spinach powder to name a few.

You can blend the shake with your favourite ingredients like fruits or yoghurt to create a tasty supershake or you could simply add 2 scoops of the shake to water, milk or non-dairy milk of your choice. dare also have a shaker bottle that make sit very easy to blend the powder with milk or water. I quite like it with semi-skilled milk and it keeps me satiated and energised and prevents unhealthy snacking.

You can order the dare Motivational Shake here.
