Bright & bold Cornish gifts
If you believe, like we do, that life is just too short for dull and drab, then you’re in the right place! We’ve dedicated this week’s blog to all things colourful with our handpicked selection of vibrant homewares, clothing, and jewellery. You’ll find oodles of marvellous Cornish gifts in a kaleidoscope of colours!
Whether you’re a seasoned colour fan or just beginning to introduce some bolder shades into your home and wardrobe, we have lots of ideas to help you breathe life into your surroundings and add a pop of brilliance to your wardrobe!
Stripy splendour
There’s something that draws you to David Perry Glass & Ceramics’ Striped Dual Coloured Trays. Practical as well as decorative, we’re obsessed with the rainbow of shiny colours and candy-cane-esque stripes.
These kiln-fired trays are great to pop your keys, jewellery, or spare change on, and also double up as a candle or soap holder. Choose from 6 different colourways or order a custom creation in your favourite hues.
Multicoloured jewellery
Brighten every day with the Enamel Boho Bracelet from Carole Allen Jewellery. Layer up or wear on its own, this sterling silver bracelet is very easy to wear and brings a splash of colour to your look, whether you’re dressing casually or for a special occasion.
With a contemporary link design and a hook clasp that fastens on any link, this bracelet fits all wrist sizes. Enhanced by a handmade enamelled disk in colours such as apple green, burnt orange, lavender, or teal, there is a colour to suit all personalities!
The perfect day bag
Great for shopping trips, days out, and dog walks, the Cross Body Bags by Caitlin’s Cornish Textiles are made from hard-wearing, wipe-clean oilcloth in 16 fun and colourful patterns! With a strong cotton lining and a made-to-last woven strap, these bags can be worn over the shoulder or across the body.
We feature the Mustard Aztec and Floral Sundance designs, and you’ll find a huge selection of other colours and oil-cloth prints on Caitlin’s website.
Colour for your walls
Bring colour into your home with the swimming Mackerel Shoal by Dreya Glass. Lovingly crafted from shimmering fused glass – one mackerel is raised in front of the other to give a sense of depth and movement.
With vibrant shades of green and blue, this piece looks even more sensational when sunlight bounces off the glass and casts beautiful shadows on the wall.
Rainbow jewellery
For a subtle touch of colour, snap up Gemweyth Sea Glass’ limited edition Rainbow Ring and Rainbow Sea Glass Bangle. Made from hammered sterling silver, in a high-shine finish, with pieces of hand-carved sea glass in the rarest colours, these items are truly one-of-a-kind, so be quick! But don’t worry, there are many more unique and beautiful pieces on the Gemweyth Sea Glass website!
Ready for autumn
Beat the chill with Budeful’s trademark Cool Beanies! Made in 12 bold colours, from a double-layer knit, these soft-touch hats will keep you warm and snug while making an attention-grabbing statement! They’re superb paired with a winter coat to add a pop of colour to your outfit.
Colourful homeware
If you prefer to keep your wall colour neutral but introduce colour through accessories – we have just the thing for you! The Potted Saguaro Cacti by Sally Carver at St Ives Glass Studio stands at 6 inches high in a little terracotta pot. It looks great on a windowsill where sunshine can stream through the coloured glass giving added vibrancy.
If there’s a particular colourway that you would like, simply let St Ives Glass Studio know, and they will gladly create your dream cacti!
Artwork in puzzle form
If you’re partial to a jigsaw puzzle and looking for your next challenge, The Puzzled Artist creates elaborate and addictive puzzles that will put you to the test! These high-quality puzzles use The Puzzled Artist’s signature colour-rich artwork, so you have the satisfaction of having a display-worthy piece of art when you add the final piece of the puzzle!
Varying in complexity, there are puzzles for those new to the activity – and some for even the most experienced puzzlers! We feature ‘Flamin’ – an easier puzzle that’s good to start with, and ‘Spaghettification’ – a more demanding puzzle with a vibrant 3D effect. But whichever puzzle you choose, you simply won’t be able to walk away from it!
