A majestic mug

Serve up your post-meal tea or coffee in this pretty, fine-bone-china mug from At Home in the Country. We love the intricately sketched stag on the outside of the mug.

Versatile storage

These delightful tins from Ikea will look lovely on just about any kitchen surface. But don’t let the almost-festive red-and-white palette put you off – they’re perfectly suitable for year-round use.

Floral class

When it comes to gift giving, you can’t go wrong with a vase. This antique-looking piece from Flamant offers a touch of class while remaining neutral enough to complement just about any decor.

No place like gnome

Great gifts sometimes come in small packages, as is the case with this loveable gnome doorstop by Zara Home. The doorstop, which is weighed down by sand, features a charming polyester hat, and is ideal for those with children.

A lovely light

This Lighthink box from Seletti will make a great gift for that friend with a penchant for retro interiors. The light box can be hung on the wall or perched on a bedside table, and features the word love in bold, red lettering.
