The WongaJamaican’s Gift Guide 2025
Welcome to the 2025 Wonga Holiday Gift Guide!
Once again we find ourselves nearing the end of year mad rush to get gifts for everyone we know. This year, to help with your holiday shopping, and to highlight the newest and coolest Jamaican food-related brands we know, we’ve curated this Jamaican gift guide with foodies in mind.
At the end of the day, WE ARE WONGA, and we would love some cheese for Christmas.
For Tea Lovers
Likkle Tea
Tea must drink, gas must buss.
Likkle tea takes Jamaican tea to the next level through their organic, loose-leaf tea & tisane blends, handcrafted in Jamaica.
We recently tried the Chocolate Chai Rooibos and Portland Bliss White Tea, and can confirm they are both AMAZING.
For Coffee Lovers
Perk Up Coffee & Moy Hall Estate Coffee
If you know someone who can’t make it through the day without a cup of coffee, buy them a new brand of coffee to try in the new year.
But if you’re like us and don’t really know anything about coffee (besides the fact that Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is obviously the way to go simply because it’s a Jamaican product), Moy Hall Estate Coffee and Perk Up Coffee are two brands you can check out. Moy Hall even offers K-Cups for the fancy single cup coffee machine users out there.
For Vodka Drinkers
Wait A Bit Vodka
Did you know that you can make vodka from yellow yam and that there are people in Trelawny doing exactly that?!
Even if someone doesn’t love vodka specifically, Wait A Bit Vodka is a good “look at this cool thing I bought for you from Jamaica” gift.
You can find them on Instagram @waitabitdistillers.
For Chocolate Lovers
PURE Chocolate & Likkle More Chocolate
Likkle More Choocolate and PURE Chocolate both tick all the boxes when it comes to offering locally made artisan chocolate in beautiful packaging. You can almost never go wrong with chocolate for the holidays.
For Cheese Lovers
Outland Hurders
Outland Hurders makes Jamaica's first artisan, aged cheeses using local ingredients in Williamsfield, Manchester.
It’s an exciting time to be alive when a cheese washed in Red Label Wine and sorrel exists. If you know someone who would agree with that sentiment, buy them some cheese for Christmas.
For People who need new mugs and plates
Pinto Pottery and BAUGHaus
We were going to label this “For Pottery Lovers,” but really everybody could use a fancy handcrafted in Jamaica cup/plate/bowl to make their everyday meals that much nicer.
For Young & Future Food Lovers
Blue Banyan Books
Books about Jamaican food written and published by Jamaicans. Yes to all of it. Support the cultural development and literacy skills of little minds everywhere by gifting them some foodie inspired books.
You can find more Blue Banyan Books on Instagram @bluebanyanbooks and on their website.

Okay, that’s all for now. Go forth and support Jamaican businesses and products. May your days be merry and bright, and the shopping be ever in your favour.
