From delicious scented candles and cosy throws to tableware worthy of any five star dinner party, we’re BIG fans of beautiful bits forthe home. Scroll on for some of what we’re hoping to find under the tree next weekend…
Avalon Home is a family-owned homeware brand that handcrafts each beautiful piece with the utmost care and attention to detail, celebrating the joy of hosting and transforming your home into a sanctuary. The range includes tablecloths, table runners, napkins, tea towels and cushions, all designed, printed and made ethically in the UK, supporting Northern industries and keeping the brand’s carbon footprint low. We love their tongue in cheek napkins, with phrases like ‘Please leave by nine’ and ‘Eat dessert first’. £28 per pair from www.avalonhome.co.uk.
For those who love making cosy, frothy drinks; the new Dualit Handheld Milk Frother, is designed to create barista-style drinks at home in minutes. With a 340ml volume, the cordless frother has the ability to create indulgent hot chocolates using any chocolate bar. Just a few squares added to the frother can create delicious frothy hot chocolate, or by adding chocolate flakes, buttons or powder. We can wait to get creative in the kitchen, mint Aero hot choc anyone? £69.99 from www.dualit.com.
There’s no such thing as too many scented candles and as Miller Harris has just released its bestselling cult fragrance Scherzo as a scented candle, we’ll be snapping one up. Deliciously decadent with a sprinkle of sweetness, it captures dark red roses, peony and crisp white pittosporum, citrus tangerine, rich davana and a shimmering base of oud, patchouli and sugar to capture the feeling of a confectioner’s window at Christmas. £75 from www.millerharris.com.
Carrying on the theme of creating stunning tablescapes, Pure Tabletop has it covered. The blue glass carafe from Sur La Table (£25) is going to take pride of place on our summer table next year alongside the matching glasses (£18 for two), and the range of vibrant crockery is just calling out for a sunny afternoon dining outside. www.puretabletop.com.
