Four edible Christmas gifts for the person who has everything

Last-minute Christmas shopping can be overwhelming, especially when you're trying to find the perfect gift for someone who already has everything.

But you can never have too many sweet treats in your life.

The perfect edible gift provides instant joy without any post-Christmas clutter, and it's easy to find something for every taste and price bracket.

Here are four local options that will go straight from the Christmas tree to the lunch table.

Hole-y Night

Since landing in St Peters, Shmochi has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of locals with a constantly updated selection of creative desserts.

But it's the signature mochi donuts that keep regulars coming back time after time, and now they have a fun seasonal twist.

The specially decorated Christmas packs include a matcha green wreath, a maple-glazed Rudolph and a chocolate-glazed donut with holly.

Holiday-themed boxes of half a dozen donuts can be ordered online and are available for pickup until noon on Christmas Eve.

The gift that keeps giving

Hidden on the backstreets of Stepney, Quinzi's Confectionery has been making sweet dreams come true for 50 years.

Founder Emidio Quinzi and his son Joe both spent time learning from Italian masters, and the company specialises in sugar-coated confectionery and couverture chocolate-covered treats.

And the long-time supplier of traditional Italian bomboniera party favours also offers a range of gift boxes packed with a selection of their favourite sweets.

You can make Christmas cheer last well into the new year with three- or six-month subscriptions that see a new gift box of treats for the whole family delivered every month. 

Keep it fresh

If you've walked past Metro Fresh Norwood lately, you'll have noticed the huge range of sweet and savoury Christmas hampers alongside the beautifully decorated gingerbread houses.

But if you want to keep things healthy this Christmas, Adelaide's premier fruit and veg outlet can also create a range of special seasonal fruit hampers.

Each crate comes packed with a range of the freshest seasonal fruits, including strawberries, nectarines, kiwis and grapes, to ensure a happy (and healthy) Christmas.

Smell the roses

If you can't decide between showing your appreciation with flowers or chocolates, let Norwood's Bunchilicious combine the best of both worlds.

Featuring everything from orchids and roses to macarons and Belgian chocolate-dipped berries, the team creates incredible edible bouquets that look every bit as good as they taste.

If you want to level up, you can even add a bottle of Champagne or whiskey to make it an extra festive celebration.

And for last-minute shoppers, you can include same-day delivery within the Adelaide metro area for orders placed before 11 am, meaning there's still plenty of time.
