Looking for the perfect Christmas gift?
From our lovely clients, here’s something delicious to share, something to grow, somewhere to escape to, and a bottle to open over Christmas.
For the nature lovers: Knepp’s Sow The Wild gift set
Knepp, the trailblazing 3,500-acre rewilding project in Sussex, has created a collection of gifts inspired by its wild surroundings and pioneering approach to rewilding, which all began with a single oak tree. It offers something to read, something to grow and a few lovely things for the home, all inspired by Knepp’s unique approach to rewilding.
The gift set includes:
An Emma Bridgewater mug designed exclusively for Knepp – decorated with rewilding superstars including old English longhorns, Tamworth pigs, Exmoor ponies, white storks and beavers.
Signed hardback edition of Wilding – Isabella Tree’s award-winning story of Knepp and the triumphant return of nature.
An acorn vase – so you can nurture your own acorn into a majestic oak tree, complete with a germination handbook and oak tree field guide.
Knepp’s Sow The Wild Gift Set costs £90. To buy, visit www.knepp.co.uk/browse/gifts/.
For the conscious foodie: the Knepp Charcuterie Hamper
For the foodie who cares as much about where their food comes from to how it tastes, Knepp’s Charcuterie Hamper brings together a selection of sustainably made and responsibly sourced treats. At its heart is Knepp’s Great Taste award-winning charcuterie, made using slow-grown, wild beef from the old English longhorn cattle that graze freely across its herb-rich pastures and regeneratively reared pigs, paired alongside English sparkling wine and homemade preserves.
The hamper includes:
• A selection of Knepp charcuterie, made in small batches in-house using free-roaming beef from Knepp and free-range pork from its regenerative partner farms.
• Wiston Brut NV - Wiston’s best-selling English sparkling wine - another champion of regenerative land stewardship.
• Knepp organic homemade green tomato chutney, made with organic produce from Knepp’s Market Garden.
• Seggiano Taggiasca Olive Flatbreads, handmade in Piemonte.
The Knepp Charcuterie Hamper costs £99. To buy, visit www.knepp.co.uk/browse/gifts/.

Perfectly paired with those festive aperitifs, delicious seafood and scallops - and why not go all out with a magnum to keep celebrations going.
