Glorious gifting
Practical gifts (the kind you rarely treat yourself to!) are often really appreciated. So, if you’re stuck for ideas, Caitlin’s Cornish Textiles’ Vanity Gift Set is a good bet for those hard-to-buy-for females!
With 3 handy zipped bags that work brilliantly for toiletries, make-up, or hair accessories – this set is just the job for storage at home or when travelling. Handmade in Cornwall from cotton-backed oilcloth, these cases are both durable and wipe clean. We feature the navy Aztec design, but you can take your pick from a selection of 21 lovely fabric designs.
Handmade loveliness
Taking inspiration from the shapes and colours of the Cornish coastline and countryside, Polgear Pottery in Redruth, produces a delightful range of pottery pieces from Cornish stoneware clay, with beautiful glaze finishes.
Polgear Pottery is exhibiting at the Made in Cornwall Christmas Fair on the 1st and 2nd of December in Truro Cathedral. Call by to view the full pottery range and find some superb gifts.
Recycled and repurposed
We can’t shout loudly enough about Behaviour Change Cornwall. We love what this Cornish charity is doing – recovering lost fishing gear and plastics from the ocean and recycling them into beautiful and useful new items.
Amongst their ingenious jewellery and homeware creations are the Ocean Plastic Scallop Shell Earrings. Made from bundles of fishing line, lobster pot frames and white ropes found in Cornish waters, these earrings are truly unique and also, of course, waterproof! Each purchase funds Behaviour Change Cornwall’s work recovering and recycling plastic – and contributes to ongoing work keeping our seas healthier.
Joyful gin
Ebba Coastal Cornish Dry Gin by Mounts Bay Distillery is a real showstopper. Not just because of its distinctive duck egg blue ceramic bottle, but also because of its noteworthy taste.
Enhanced with Cornish botanicals such as fresh sea aster, locally foraged rock samphire, and sea berries, this classic London dry gin has a sea herb finish that works in harmony with its juniper and citrus notes.
Named after the ‘ebb and flow’ of the ocean, this gin deserves full Christmas gifting status and is the perfect match for all sea-loving gin drinkers!
