Whether it’s a festive feast with family, or a barbecue in the garden with friends – this truly is the most wonderful time of the year. And, after a 2020 filled with unprecedented challenges, it’s time for some much-needed fun and frivolity. Miele has put together this beautifully curated luxury gift guide to help you celebrate those you love in style. With gifts for the coffee connoisseur, the incredible busy host, or as a treat for yourself, there is something for the whole family to enjoy.

A gift for the home chef

With many meals to prepare, the Miele Benchtop Steam Oven will make the perfect gift for the home chef this festive season. This freestanding steam oven is ideal for preparing everything from entrees to mains and of course for those delicious sweet desserts. Not only do you achieve excellent results with the revolutionary MonoSteam technology it also offers easy cleaning. Give someone this incredible gift, this Christmas.

As Miele’s Senior Product Manager of Cooking, the Benchtop Steam Oven is Kylie Taylor’s top pick for the ultimate Christmas present for your loved one this year. “Our Benchtop Steam Oven is the perfect gift for the food lover and home chef in your life. They’ll be impressing guests with their culinary delights in no time with this world-class appliance!”

A gift for the host

The holiday season is a time for entertaining, not a time for cleaning. Make light work of large rooms this Christmas with the Miele cordless vacuum range. Ready to use in an instant, the Triflex HX1 handstick vacuum offers an unparalleled level of flexibility, and their high-capacity rechargeable batteries mean they can clean large areas without interruption for 60 minutes or more.

Our newly released Triflex HX1 is the perfect gift as it offers three appliances in one with a reach, comfort and compact mode to suit all areas in the home, no matter the setup.

The Scout RX2 robot vacuum is the perfect device to set and forget. It is easily controlled through your smartphone so you can start cleaning from any room in the house.

Designed with the most powerful Miele technology, these floorcare appliances have the ability to be easily adjusted so they effortlessly fit your individual lifestyle and cleaning needs. The Triflex HX1 handstick vacuum and Scout RX2 robot vacuum make the perfect gift for any host this festive season.

“The greatest gift you can give someone that you care about is time, time to do the things they love instead of cleaning. The Triflex HX1 and the Scout RX2 offer you a powerful cleaning experience that is both quick and easy, allowing you time to enjoy other things in life ” said Josh Hall, Small Appliances Category Manager.

A gift for the coffee connoisseur

Whether it’s that intense coffee flavour you love, or the perfectly frothed milk, the Miele Benchtop Coffee Machine is the pièce de résistance for every coffee connoisseur this Christmas. With sleek touch controls, and automatic rinsing, this machine makes cleaning a breeze and keeps maintenance to a minimum. The best part, it features a number of programmable user profiles so that you can customise it to the exact taste of each family member’s palette. Say hello to the ultimate Benchtop Coffee Machine this festive season, and all year round. Don’t mind if I brew!

“With the ability to customise every step of your coffee preferences, it’s almost like having a barista in your kitchen. Given that many of us have not been able to attend our favourite cafes this year, the Miele Benchtop Coffee Machine will be a life saver in every home,” adds Josh Hall.

A gift for the wine lover

With over 260 years in the art of glassmaking, you can’t go wrong with these artistic Cornetto Confetti decanter and elegant Winewings glasses from fellow family-owned business and Miele partner, RIEDEL.

“The Cornetto shape is one of our most functional and easy to use pieces, now with the addition of brilliant colour. Purchase it in red or green to add fun and festivity to Christmas Day!” says RIEDEL Australia & New Zealand Managing Director, Mark Baulderstone.

“Our newest range, RIEDEL Winewings, is the perfect gift for this giving season. They showcase wines so beautifully and have these elegant, striking lines and have an amazing balance and feel to them. They’ll make such a big impact to any Christmas table” added Mark.

Leading the charge on modern, functional glassware, RIEDEL revolutionised the world of glassware and these wine glasses and decanters are no different. Giving you a unique drinking experience with every drop, they’ll be the perfect stocking filler or Christmas table centerpiece.
