Award-Winning Spice Gifts, Made With Heart

Along the way, our spice blends, gift collections, packaging and wider impact have been recognised by some of the UK’s most respected food, gift and business awards... and very accolade means a great deal to our family and to the wonderful team of people who have helped us grow.

Gift Of The Year

We’re incredibly proud to have received recognition from Gift of the Year on THREE occasions. The Giftware Association is one of the UK’s leading awards programme for the home and gift industry. Our spice tins have been celebrated not only for the quality of the spices inside, but also for their distinctive design and the stories they help us share:-

  • Gift Of The Year 2026 – Highly Commended for our Feasting Kit Range
  • Gift Of The Year Winner in 2022 for our Indian Spice Tin
  • Gift Of The Year Winner in 2018 for our Indian Spice Tin

Receiving this recognition was a wonderful milestone for our small family business.

Not On The High Street Community Champion Award

In 2026, Spice Kitchen was named Community Champion at the Not On The High Street Small Brand Awards.

And this one felt particularly special because it recognised the values behind our products as well as the products themselves. Community has never been a separate initiative for us; it is woven into the way Spice Kitchen works. Our sari wraps give donated and upcycled fabrics a beautiful new life, while creating flexible, meaningful employment for our sari-wrapping team.

Through our partnership with the Akshaya Patra Foundation, every sari-wrapped spice tin sold also helps to provide a school meal for a child in India. The award celebrates this whole community: our team, customers, independent retailers, charity partners and everyone who has helped us use food and spice to bring people together.

London Packaging Awards 2026

As a small family business, being named a finalist in the London Packaging Week Innovation Awards felt particularly special.

We don’t have enormous design budgets, a huge creative department or a glamorous agency on speed dial. What we do have is a brilliant small team, a very talented freelance designer and a strong sense of what we love, and, hopefully, what our customers will love too.

Our Feasting Kits were created collaboratively, combining beautiful design with everything needed to make cooking and sharing extraordinary food feel simple and joyful. To see them recognised alongside packaging created by much bigger brands was an incredibly proud moment and a lovely reminder that you don’t always need the biggest budget or the biggest team to create something that resonates.

Family Business Of The Year

In 2024, we were delighted to receive family business recognition from the Federation of Small Businesses.

Spice Kitchen began as a conversation between Sanjay and his mum, Shashi, on Christmas Day 2012, so being celebrated as a family business was particularly meaningful. Although the business has grown, that same sense of family, warmth and shared purpose still runs through everything we do.

And of course, when in 2026 we appeared on Dragons' Den together, this message was well and truly cemented as the Dragons' told us to protect the very thing that makes us special.
