You love them, really.

But catering to all the many eccentricities and quirks of your nearest and dearest at Christmas can give you the panic sweats.

This year, buy them something they’ll actually enjoy.

Here are seven very specific treats that celebrate their… uniqueness.

1. The insufferable wannabe chef

Peanut Reyu fuses Japanese and Chinese flavours to spice up any dish, from vegetables to stir-fries to eggs or avocado on toast. They’ll never shut up about it.

Get it: €6.95, Cork stockists here.

2. The ex-boyfriend 

Awkward Mug. For when he drops by unannounced on Christmas Day. Again.

Get it: €12 at April and the Bear.

3. The cocktail-swigging college mate

Cask print. To remind them of the good times. And the times they can’t remember.

Get it: €12, Cork artist Lucia Moreno Montero on Etsy

4. The vegan beauty buff
