Finisterre - Mysa Hammock

After the year we have had we could all do with getting away somewhere new, putting our feet up & chilling out for a while! A great gift for the outdoor adventurer in need of some rest is the Mysa Hammock – from Cornwall based, sustainable & ethical outdoor apparel company Finisterre. I expect this awesome hammock could come in pretty handy for sleeping off that Christmas dinner too!

Black Lines Drinks - Cocktail Set

2020 has seen our beloved British pubs & cocktail bars come to a halt. So for many, this year has encouraged us to ‘do it ourselves’. We came across this exclusive East London-based brand who collaborate with some of the best UK distilleries, to craft & bottle cocktails with the highest quality ingredients. What makes them stand apart from any other bottled cocktail brand I hear you say? Well, they have collaborated with nine talented, local artists who have interpreted each cocktail in their own signature illustrative style – to create this beautifully stylish, monochromatic brand identity, full of personality & charisma.

Rapha X Hario - Coffee Dripper

Coffee & cycling. Cycling & coffee. A perfect match, right? Well, thanks to Rapha’s latest collaboration with brewing specialists Hario, you can now enjoy proper coffee in style. Made from the highest quality porcelain, this ceramic V60 will give you the boost you need before that epic bike ride. If it’s not to treat yourself, I’d say it’s the ideal gift for a dear MAMIL friend…

WWF - Adopt a Gorilla

There are only around 1,063 mountain gorillas left in the wild, due mainly to habit loss & diseases. Why not help out this incredible species by adopting a gorilla as a gift this Christmas. This truly is the gift that keeps on giving – from the welcome pack & soft toy through to regular updates on how you’re supporting the vital work.

Rockett St George - Half Face Planters

If you are looking for a quirky statement piece that will last a lifetime whilst adding a touch of character to one’s home, I can personally recommend these half face planters. Made from concrete & brushed in bronze & gold, just pop a spiky plant (perhaps a Sansevieria) or a hanging plant (a Senecio Rowleyanus would look great!) to bring these characters to life! They can be found buried in British brand Rocket St George’s treasure trove of oddities & curiosities tucked away on their online shop.
