It doesn't seem to matter how adept you are at selecting the perfect present for our friends, family members and loved ones - there are always some people who are really difficult to buy for. 

In this position, it pays off to think about what they really love - and this can often make the matter much more straightforward. 

For instance, if they're really passionate about beer, then why not simply get them a bottle of real ale? 

Although this may not seem too special in itself, you can always focus on the presentation - and a great way to do this is by getting a hamper. 

The Stratford Real Ale Hamper is a great example of such a gift, as it comes with a bottle of Old Speckled Hen. 

This is complemented by a raft of snacks and treats that really make it stand out from the crowd - including crisps, cheese, chutneys and shortbread.
