The ULTIMATE cosy winter must-have for your home, we're a little bit in love wiht the Tartan Sherpa Blanket by Nightlark (£70). This super cosy throw in a classic check design (very US log cabin vibes) has a soft microfibre on one side and a fluffy Sherpa fleece on the other, with two popper buttons to transform this throw into a wearable blanket, plus as it's filled with Nightlark's patented lightweight Smartfil® fibre, you can enjoy the comfort of warmth without the weight; it's the equivalent of a 9 tog duvet, without the bulk.
We're rather smitten with Denby's range of elegant home accessories. While famed for its crockery of course, the 117 year old pottery also has a fine range of ceramic candles, vases and diffusers. With a fragrance combining jasmine and rich patchouli with notes of blackcurrant and vanilla, the diffuser (£65 at www.denbypottery.com) comes with a 200ml oil fragrance bottle and fragrance reeds, plus can also be repurposed around the home after use as a bud vase or candle holder.
Tucked away on London's Exmouth Market, Marby & Elm is a letterpress stationery and design shop. What began as a hobby in a garden shed has become a family business with designer Eleanor and shop manager sister Charlie, along with their father - the lettering artist - and their brother Tim who does the photography & website. As well as a stunning selection of stationery, gorgeous greeting cards and prints worthy of any wall, Marby & Elm also does a great range in gifting. We love their printed tea towels and 22ct gold jelly baby necklace, but it's one of the candles that's stolen our heart. The Victorian Brothel candle (£45) is a heady concoction of velvet and leather, cigar smoke and secrets. It's rich and cosy, deep and indulgent, the perfect scent to envelop your home this winter. Delicious. www.marbyandelm.com
