Christmas Pudding Gifts: Ready-Made & Handcrafted

When we set out to find the best Christmas puddings to send as gifts, we quickly realised the choice comes down to what your recipient actually wants come Christmas morning. Are they after something they can serve straight away, or do they prefer the ritual of a proper pudding they've made themselves? We've tracked down options that sit comfortably at both ends of that spectrum—and some that blur the line entirely.

The puddings here range from premium ready-to-eat collections perfect for those with no time to cook, to handmade versions that arrive as a finished article, needing nothing more than a gentle warm through. Whether you're buying for someone who loves the full festive spread or someone who'd rather skip the kitchen altogether, there's something that'll land well.
