the spring gift edit
Surprise loved ones (or treat yourself!) to a gift less ordinary from our edit of small delights to spark oodles of joy this spring. For adding a splash of colour, try sunshine yellow or soft pink candles. For making the most of spring’s floral offerings, opt for a ceramic flower frog and bowl and for scenting newly spring-cleaned spaces go with some natural incense in one of our hand thrown ceramic bowls or incense holders. And for brightening up your kitchen shelves our Lucy fluted plant pots are an elegant option for mini spring bulbs or growing micro herbs.

Inspired by my own discovery of the power of lighting incense to help set intentions throughout the day, this wellness set is designed to encourage moments of calm, reflection and reset.
Included in the gift box are the tools you need to create a serene space in your home when looking to achieve a meditative atmosphere: a box of Earl of East London sandalwood incense cones, a hand thrown ceramic bowl with a gently fluted edge and a pretty box of matches. I’ve also included a mini posy of dried flowers (because who doesn’t like to receive flowers?).
The ritual of lighting incense can help to create a serene space in your home, separate from the outside world. Use grounding sandalwood to set an intention for the day - or to wind down in the evening.
The gently speckled oatmeal bowl can also be used for jewellery, keys and trinkets.
The perfect gift for a friend or family member who needs a reminder to slow down and take a breath, and a wonderful house warming gift. This neat little set is available for gift wrap with a handwritten note at checkout.
