Christmas Gift Guide: Homewares

If you’ve read this blog for a while you’ll already know how much I love Christmas. I’ve been trying to pin-point what it is that I love about it. Bill Murray’s Scrooged? Eating ALL the liqueurs? Saying ‘Chin-Chin’ with a raised glass for the millionth time with loved ones? Yes, all of those things. But mainly I think it holds a particular place in my heart because I have great memories of it growing up.

I’ve not really thought about it that much only knowing that it will be the three of us on Christmas day, but a work trip to London on Tuesday got me in the mood. Winter in London does that. Therefore I’m launching my annual gift guides on the blog (ring the bells!) starting today with some peachy home interiors.

1| If you’re never going to buy a calendar again it has to be a good one, right? The Perpetual Calendar (£19.95) from WitShop is a stylish flat pack laser-cut plywood calendar, perfect for any contemporary office or kitchen.

2| I love this colour selection of Cable & Cotton lights (£32) from Merry and Bright. During the winter everyone is looking to add extra light (and colour) in their home, and these will look great switched off too.

3| It’s been a while since I’ve visited Ikea and after having a quick browse on the internet I can feel a trip coming on (apologies bank balance). This affordable Strala Lamp (£18) from Ikea, would make a cosy gift this Christmas to someone who’s just moved home.

4| Layer up your sofas with this stylish Jade Theo Throw (£30) from Oliver Bonas, complete with tassels. We all love a good tassel, don’t we? If you have a bigger budget, why not pair this gift with a good book and a bar of luxury chocolate too.

5| Another great pairing with a book/throw/chocolate is a luxury candle, and this Pine Needle and Juniper offering (£11) from Howkapow is presented in a stylish gift box too. If you’re looking for something a little extra…

6| These matches (£6) from Archivist Press make great stocking fillers but I especially love this design. Bravo Archivist Press.

7| I’m a sucker for anything with a lighthouse design (see above) so the Lightwell Doorstop (£24.95) from Joules get’s my vote, a great gift for a nursery perhaps?
