Douwe Egberts ground coffee

Christmas is generally a time for over-indulgence, which means your morning coffee can become even more of a welcome wake-up call than usual. Here are a few of our favourites from Douwe Egberts.

Café Milano for when only a traditional Italian-style coffee will do, this smooth, laid-back blend with a hint of spice evokes the flavours of Milan and is perfect to relax and escape with.  (Strength 3)

Morning Americano: with a vibrant blend bursting with nutty flavour, this full-bodied and robust American-style coffee provides the perfect kick start to the day.  (Strength 5)

Fired Up is for those who love to savour a rich, intense coffee this powerful, espresso-style blend is created with dark-roasted beans to bring out the delicious, intense flavours of spice and chocolate.  (Strength 6)

£3.14 for a 200g foil bag, from all major retailers

 

Giant retro sweets

Bring out everyone's inner kid at Christmas with these giant tubes of retro sweets. Swizzels Matlow's kitschy tubes full of sweet shop favourites - Love Hearts, Refreshers and Drumstick lollies - make the perfect stocking filler for girls who refuse to grow up.

£1 per tube from major retailers.

 

Little Miracles

After you've eaten and drunk your bodyweight in the above, show your belly some love with these organic drinks to help make the inevitable January detox (groan) a little more bearable. Little Miracles organic energy drinks are a healthy alternative to sugary Red Bull, so we're told. And the ginseng drinks were inspired by the traditional recipe used to sustain hardworking Chinese farmers. Flavours include green tea and pomegranate, white tea and cherry, and black tea and peach.

£1.49 for 330ml from Waitrose, Morrisons, Asda and selected Holland & Barrett stores.
