3. Gifts for Friends & Family
How’s your Christmas shopping going? Because Alliance now has it’s own Christmas gift shop, helping make sure you’re stocked up on gorgeous presents for your loved ones. Among them, is our new way for you to show some love to your wine bestie with the stemless Wine Bestie Glass Set. Complimented with a gold ring and loopy writing, you and your friends will wonder how you ever enjoyed a cheeky glass of your favourite rosé without them.
If you’re gift buying for a cheese connoisseur, they’ll be expecting nothing but the best, so it’s a good thing this Artesà Cheese Knife set features three stainless steel knives with acacia wood handles. Whichever you’re serving on your cheeseboard with a side of crackers, this is an exquisite set with slicing and sering a variety of cheeses.
You know what glasses are also good for? Gin of course. You can indulge your passion for one of the nation’s favourite spirits by making your own at home. Included in the BarCraft Gin Making Kit is a mixing bottle, funnel, sieve, 2 G&T glasses and a pack of botanicals mix. That’s the spirit.

11. 5-Star Restaurant
Not everyone will be dining out this year, making it even more of an incentive to give your own Christmas dinner table a presentation of the 5-star treatment.
Our range of premium crockery features Elia Glacier Bone China. Its design will not only maintain its newer look for longer, but the pure white colour will serve as a backdrop to let the colours of your Christmas recipes shine.
Let’s not forget the means to make our champagne toasts ones of refinement and class by drinking from Alliance’s exquisite selection of champagne flutes. From a variety of suppliers with broad designs, there’s a champagne flute for all tastes when celebrating the occasion.
12. Storage
Christmas leftovers are a delicious inevitability, though it’s important to keep fresh leftovers, well, fresh.
So, for the 12th Day of Christmas, we thought it would be a delight to present Sealfresh: a range of containers in different sizes to help preserve all manner of festive foods for a number of days in maintaining their quality before reserving.
With Sealfresh, you won’t have to worry about buying too large of a turkey this year. Those Boxing Day sandwiches will taste better than ever before.
