The gift of olive oil is gaining popularity as the go-to alternative to wine or other luxury gifts during the holiday season. Premium extra virgin olive oils are being sought after for their unique flavors and aromas, making them an excellent choice for those looking to impress.

From glass bottles with detailed tasting notes to micro-sized tins resembling old-school car engine oils, there is a vast array of olive oil products available that cater to different tastes and preferences. For those on a budget, Delli's Honest Toil extra virgin olive oil mini is a great option at just £3.20.

For those looking to impress their friends or family, consider the Korontini from Delli, an industrial-sized tin made for walk-in pantries that can be enjoyed by multiple people. Meanwhile, APC has teamed up with the Château de Montfrin in France to create an oil "with a strong personality" at £20.

If you aspire to be on MasterChef or want to impress foodies, Two Fields is an excellent choice at £19.50. The French label known for its jeans has created an award-winning oil that comes in a box, which always seems fancy.

Lastly, Estoublon from Selfridges is a top pick at £52.99, sourced in Provence and coming in a luxurious box that will surely make you stand out. With such a wide range of options available, it's easy to find the perfect olive oil gift for anyone on your list.

I'm loving how many cool olive oil brands are popping up this holiday season 🤩! Delli's Honest Toil mini is like, super affordable and perfect for those on a budget 💸. And can you imagine getting Korontini from APC in that massive industrial tin? Talk about an epic gift 😂. I'm kinda obsessed with Two Fields' oil too - it sounds fancy and foodie-approved 🍴. But let's be real, Estoublon at £52.99 is like... wow 💸! Who needs a fancy car when you can have a fancy bottle of olive oil? 😜
 
🤔 I think what's really cool about this trend is how olive oil is becoming more accessible and affordable. £3.20 for a mini tin of Delli's Honest Toil extra virgin olive oil? That's like, ridiculously cheap compared to other luxury gifts out there! And the fact that you can get an industrial-sized tin from Korontini that can be enjoyed by multiple people? That's just genius.

I also love how brands are getting creative with packaging and presentation. I mean, a box of award-winning Two Fields oil that looks like it was plucked straight off a fashion runway? That's some next-level marketing right there! 📦 And let's not forget about the Château de Montfrin collaboration with APC - £20 for an oil "with a strong personality" is still a steal compared to other gourmet gift options.

But what I think is really interesting is how olive oil is becoming more than just a food product. It's becoming a status symbol, a way to show off your refined taste and appreciation for quality. And I'm totally here for it! 💁‍♀️
 
Ugh, great, another overpriced holiday gift idea 🤦‍♂️. Like people really need fancy olive oils to impress their friends and family... who doesn't already have enough stuff? And £3.20 for a mini tin of oil is just lazy, you can get a decent bottle of wine for that price lol. I mean, what's next, gifting someone a box of olives with it too? 🤯
 
I don't get why everyone's so into this whole olive oil thing 🤔. I mean, it's just oil, right? And people are shelling out 52 quid for some fancy bottle from Provence? That's just crazy talk 💸. What's next, expensive salt or something? 😂 And don't even get me started on the marketing - "with a strong personality" my foot... just sounds like someone who thinks they're too cool for regular old olive oil 🤷‍♂️. Give me a good bottle of wine any day, at least that's something you can actually taste and enjoy 🍷.
 
I'm so down for olive oil as gifts this holiday season 🤩🎁! I mean, who doesn't love free stuff and trying new flavors? The fact that premium oils are gaining popularity is kinda awesome - it's about time we ditched the wine bottles and got a little more creative. And £3.20 for Delli's Honest Toil extra virgin olive oil mini? That's like, a total steal! I'd totes get one of those for my sister. The Korontini from APC sounds like an awesome option too - industrial-sized tin, walk-in pantry approved. Anyone know if it's got any weird aftertaste or anything?
 
omg i'm so done with all these fancy olive oils lol 🤣 i mean dont get me wrong ppl love dem and all but £52.99 is like, woah that's just crazy expensive 😂 estoublon from selfridges tho is kinda cute i guess they did do a nice job w/ the packaging 👌 anyone else wouldve splurged on it tho lol its def a unique gift idea 4 ur aunt who loves cooking n all that 🤪
 
OMG 🤩 just saw this and I'm totally down to get some fancy olive oils for my fam this holiday season! 🎁 The Korontini from Delli sounds like a total game-changer, industrial-sized tin and all - my aunt would LOVE it 💖 But then again, £52.99 is kinda steep even for me 🤑 Anyone know of any other affordable options? I'm also low-key obsessed with the idea of getting an oil "with a strong personality" from APC 🤪 And can we talk about how fancy Two Fields' box looks in comparison to my current gifts? 😂
 
Ugh man I'm so over these fancy olive oils people are buying them up like they're going outta style! £52.99 for some bottle from Provence lol what's wrong with a good ol' fashioned jar of peanut butter? And don't even get me started on the presentation these bottles come in it's all just so extra 😒.

I mean I guess if you're gonna spend that much money you might as well go all out but £52.99 is just crazy talk! Can we just stick to some decent, affordable options for once? Like that Delli's Honest Toil oil mini at £3.20 now that's a gift I can get behind 🤑.

And what's with the MasterChef references? Do people really need an olive oil to impress the judges? Come on let's keep things real 💁‍♀️.
 
I'm loving this trend of olive oil gifts - so thoughtful & elegant 🌿💡! I can totally see why people are swapping wine for premium olives as gifts, especially if you want something unique and special. That Delli's Honest Toil mini is a great affordable option tho... £3.20? Nice! 🤑

But, let's be real, there's some serious luxury vibes going on here too - £52.99? Whoa 😲! Not sure I'd splurge that much on oil, but hey, if you're feeling fancy, go for it! 💁‍♀️ Maybe it's a great way to treat someone special or show off your cooking skills?

I do love how all these brands are putting their own spin on olive oils - from the industrial-sized tins to the fancy boxes... it's like they're saying, "Hey, we've got this!" 🎉 Which makes me think that maybe we'll see more small-batch, artisanal producers getting in on the action? That'd be awesome! 👍
 
I'm not sure about all this fuss over olive oil as holiday gifts 🤔💦. I mean, is it really worth breaking the bank for £20+ when you can just pick up a decent bottle at the supermarket? The 'gift' thing is kinda forced, don't you think? Like, who thought it was a good idea to serve plain old olive oil at a dinner party? 🤦‍♀️ It's all about the presentation and branding now. But hey, if someone wants to spend their cash on fancy ol' oil, that's their prerogative 😊
 
I'm so over these super fancy olive oil gifts 🤣. I mean, £52.99? That's just crazy talk! Can't they see that the Delli mini (£3.20) is where it's at? It's affordable, and you can actually taste the difference. And have you seen those industrial-sized tins? Who buys that much oil in one go? 🤦‍♂️

And what's with all these fancy labels trying to make you think they're some kind of gourmet expert? Newsflash: I know my olive oil, and it's not about the price tag. It's about getting a good product without breaking the bank 💸.

I swear, every year it's like this - wine gets old (pun intended), and then suddenly, olive oil is the new luxury gift. Give me a break! 🙄
 
just saw this article about olive oil as holiday gifts 🤔👍 gotta say, i'm surprised. in my opinion, its just a bunch of overpriced oils trying to get a seat at the luxury table. but hey, if you're gonna spend £52 on a tin of oil, might as well get something that tastes good 🤷‍♂️ personally, i'd rather get someone an experience or a homemade gift, shows you care more than just what's in the bottle 💸
 
OMG I'm so over these fancy olive oils 🤯 £52.99 is just crazy! Like what's next, paying 100 bucks for ketchup? 😂 Can't we just get a decent bottle of wine or some decent old school snacks like wasabi peas instead? 🤷‍♀️ Those tiny tins are kinda cute tho, but let's be real who needs that much oil? 🍴 I mean if you're gonna spend that kind of cash on it make sure you're hosting a party where everyone can just drink the whole thing 💦
 
Olive oil as a luxury gift? That's like saying pizza dough is the best thing since sliced bread 🍕😂. I mean, who wouldn't want to give someone a fancy bottle of oil that's basically just something you put on pasta? But hey, if it makes people happy and your auntie will finally stop bugging you about being a good cook, go for it! The only one I'd shell out £52.99 for is the Estoublon box – I mean, come on, it comes in a luxurious box that'll make me feel like royalty... or at least someone with good taste 😊👑
 
olive oil as a holiday gift? i think its a great idea! who doesn't love good food and drink 🍴🥂. but £52.99 might be a bit steep for some people... like me, personally im more of a £3.20 kind of person lol. but hey, if u wanna impress ur friends or family with a fancy oil tin, go for it! 👌 the korontini tin looks super sleek and industrial-chic btw. i mean, who wouldn't want an oil that's made in provence? 🌿🇫🇷 anyway, its all about finding that middle ground between budget and luxury, right? 💸
 
I'm loving the whole olive oil trend 🤩! It makes total sense, I mean who doesn't love a good bottle of fancy oil to spice up their cooking? But, £52.99 for that Estoublon oil from Selfridges is kinda steep, don't you think? 😂 I get that it's sourced in Provence and all that jazz, but it's still just olive oil at the end of the day! 🤔 On a more serious note, I do love the idea of supporting smaller brands like APC and Two Fields - they're definitely bringing something unique to the table. And £20 is still pretty reasonable for a high-quality oil, especially if you consider the price per bottle. 👍
 
I'm loving this trend of olive oil gifts! I mean, who doesn't love a good bottle of fancy oil? 🤩 It's like, we're finally shifting away from wine and other stuffy gifts, and towards something more unique and delicious. And the options are insane - £3.20 for a mini tin is literally a steal! 💸 Plus, think about it, olive oil can be super versatile - you can use it in cooking, as a finishing touch for dishes... the possibilities are endless! 🍴
