Hear me out. Crisps.

We gift people chocolate, why not crisps?!

Was thinking earlier how I'd bloody love a selection box of lovely crisps as a present. You know, nice posh ones you wouldn't normally buy yourself.

I may start it off 😂

Tayto crisps in Ireland launched a special limited flavour a few years ago - fizzy cola bottle flavour. Absolutely disgusting. Great idea though, who says crisps have to be savoury?

Oh but they do!!

Totally agree. Those super posh truffle ones that cost £5 are divine.

Tyrell’s truffle crisps. Not a fan.

We were gifted some recently, they were lovely! https://twofarmers.co.uk/product/sharing-tins/

Ooh my advent calendar would have: proper Cheetos from the US (I want all the flavours!), Roysters T-bone steak, scampi fries, Tangy Toms, 'Super Ring' which I had in SE Asia, and some Seneca green apple fruit crisps.

MujeresLibres · 16/12/2023 00:12

Someone's probably already mentioned this, but you can get a Pringles advent calendar. Also, I oncegot my partner a pork scratchings one.

I did once, my sister was adamant that she didn't want a birthday present so I took a birthday card and a selection of her all time favourite snacks all wrapped up. Most of those were crisps...giant wotsits in different flavours.
It went down very well.

HorribleHisTories15 · 16/12/2023 06:38

Oooh a multipack with
Spaceraiders
Monster munch spicy
Frazzles
Hedgehog flavoured crisps
Spicy tomato balls
Salt and vinegar chipsticks
Etc

Those crisp manufacturers are missing a Christmas trick here. Maybe they should do a January beat the blues calendar

I'd swap the huge pile of crap chocolate we always get for some cheap Spanish ready salted crisps. Nothing in the UK compares.

If I could find Spanish green Lays for DP he would be a happy man.

I've bought myself one of those cards you get on pub walls with bacon/scampi fries on for Christmas - I think its 50 little bags- I love them and they are hard to get these days - got it from Amazon - I do have other presents as well 😍

My DH brought me this as part of my 40th birthday present. Loved it. Enjoy.

Roselilly36 · 16/12/2023 07:25

You are onto something their OP,my DS1 a would love this, I have bought the Pringles crackers before that contain 8 mini tubes of Pringles, but a Tyrell’s one he would love or even walkers he would be happy with.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/12/2023 07:36

Oh yes

I'm def more savoury then sweet and would choose crisps over chocolate

This thread is amazing! My daughter made me a crisps advent calendar this year - best thing ever. Big gold box with “Merry Crispmas” on the front…..

arlequin · 16/12/2023 07:48

Some of the Eastern European shops or Turkish supermarkets often stock the lays. The shop opposite my work has them

SuffolkUnicorn · 16/12/2023 08:01

Been doing this for my sister for years she loves crisps

I am here for this! One year when I was a student one of my friends from home sent me a pub-sized box of Tayto crisps for my 21st birthday.

Best. Present. Ever.

(cheese and onion, in case anyone wondered)

You can't beat a Tayto sandwich
White sliced pan, butter and Tayto.
Delicious.

Yes to Crispmas!!

There’s these amazing extra thick crisps that they sell at Gloucester services… So good!!!

But equally you can’t beat a pack of salt and vinegar squares 🤤

Can we include mini cheddars? Love a mini cheddar!

TellmethestoryofO · 16/12/2023 08:34

You can buy a crisp bouquet on Etsy...! 😁

AnchorWHAT · 16/12/2023 08:44

Cut a large piece of cardboard into a tree shape, glue on pegs with numbers of advent days and peg a bag of crisps to each one, voila a crisp advent calendar!

AnchorWHAT · 16/12/2023 08:45

Or build a tree shaped tower of little pringle pots as an edible decoration, wrap in tinsel for a festive look 😁
