Can you believe Christmas is only 4 weeks away?

Every year, I am looking for something new, something unique as Christmas gifts for my family and friends. This year, it's the Ferrero Boutique.

In a world first for Ferrero the online boutique will provide a range of premium gift solutions just in time for Christmas. The site is filled with plenty of thoughtfully packaged gift boxes that are perfect for pampering your loved ones or for the ultimate self indulgence.

For a limited period of time, celebrity chef Tobie Puttock has collaborated with Ferrero to create this 'Ferrero ourmet Christmas Hamper by Tobie Puttock' for food lovers. This hamper includes two imported Italian Christmas delicacies from the birthplace of Ferrero, Alba in Italy: Ferrero Panettone and Ferrero Torrone, which will be imported exclusively for inclusion in the hampers. To compliment these two imported delicacies, will be the new limited edition Ferrero Rocher gold tin gift box and a box of Tobie's favourite dark chocolate pralines, Ferrero Rondnoir.

Only 500 of the limited edition Ferrero Gourmet Christmas Hampers by Tobie Puttock will be available from Ferrero’s online boutique, and $5 from each hamper will be donated to OzHarvest, which exists to rescue excess food which would otherwise be discarded, and distribute it to charities supporting the vulnerable in Australia.

I am one lucky receiver of the limited edition Ferrero Panettone. When it arrived at my door step, I couldn't stop squealing for joy when looking at the beautiful packaging and the ginormous size of the Ferrero Panettone. It is packed full of wonderful dried fruits and the soft and spongy texture makes it a wonderful centerpiece to be served during any Christmas meal. As quoted by Tobie, "The Ferrero Panettone is renowned as being the best Panettone to cook with amongst chefs around the world”.

And of course for Christmas, you should add a little special touch to it. For this, Tobie Puttock has provided a recipe of Caramelised Panettone with Grilled Peach from his latest cookbook - "How To Cook Like An Italian". I for one certainly couldn't wait until Christmas to try out Tobie's recipe for the Ferrero Panettone that I received. The toffee crusted Panettone toast works perfectly well with the grilled peach, first soaked in the Italian dessert wine vin santo and then baked in the oven. The creme freche is the perfect finishing touch.

If you are looking for something special this Christmas, look no further. The Ferrero Boutique may be your answer and the Grilled Peach with Caramelised Panettone recipe can be found exclusively at http://www.ferreroboutique.com.au/ and it can be downloaded from this page here.

I am giving away Ferrero Rocher gift boxes to 2 (two) of my lucky readers. Each individual prize is 5 boxes of Ferrero Rocher's valued at RRP $49.95.
