Dried Flower Wall Hangings

1. Spring florals

Get creative with the gift of wall art. Get creative with the gift of wall art. Something to brighten their space and add personality and colour, like these dried flower designs. Each frame has a hand-selected dried flower pressed and preserved between the glass. For those who like their decor quirky and bright, this artwork will put a positive spin on the wall.

Wini Splatter Mug

2. Colourful ceramics

Getting together with your crew is always cause for celebration, so after the main meal is over, enjoy your afternoon brew in an eye-catching mug. The Wini mugs are individually hand-splattered in Portugal, giving every piece a unique pattern and colour ratio. For those who always have a hot drink in hand, they’re an easy gifting win.

Hazel Glass Candle Holders

3. Treats for the table

If you’re serving up a fancy feast, it’s always nice to add to the visual with a colourful Easter table setting. This pair of candle holders have a sculptural silhouette, created when the individual blobs of molten glass are mouth-blown into shape, leaving subtle variations in every piece. An eye-catching present idea for an interiors enthusiast.

Drop Stud Earrings

4. Add some earrings

Decorative earrings make a sparkly gift for a family member or a fun way to finish off your outfit. These drop earrings have clear-coloured gems and a blue stone on a glossy gold finish. Far more interesting than a plain stud.

Short Pyjama Set

5. Printed PJs

If you’re serving up an Easter feast, make sure you’ve had a restful night sleep in some pretty pyjamas. Waking up in this printed set will help you feel geared up for the day ahead, whatever’s on your agenda. In a short design with frill details and a pink palm pattern, they make an eye-catching pair that’s a pleasure to unwrap.

Beaded Storage Pot

6. Beaded beauty

Hand beaded with glass beads in a coral pattern, this green trinket pot makes a thoughtful present for someone special. Use to store jewellery, keepsakes or keys – it'll look great on your bedside or hallway console.

Green Clubmaster Sunglasses

7. Shades of spring

If the weather gods are kind and we’re blessed with sunshine this bank holiday, it would be rude not to head out for a post-lunch walk. Pop on some sunglasses to protect from the glare and add a fashionable twist to your outfit. This green pair also comes in its own pouch ready for wrapping and gifting.

Floral Sheer Socks

8. Best foot forward

Socks are easy to roll up and tie with a fancy bow for a sweet little table favour. And just because we wear them every day, it doesn’t mean they need to be boring. This sheer-fabric floral pair complete with a sparkly heel and toe will put a spring in anyone’s step.

Elio Reed Diffuser

9. Scent your space

If you’re entertaining at your place, creating the right ambiance is key, and fragrance can make a huge difference to everyone’s mood. Diffusers and incense sticks are a great way to encourage your guests to either wind down or feel uplifted. Or, with their pretty packaging, they make a thoughtful gift if you’re being hosted elsewhere.

Unwind Beauty Set

10. Self-care essentials

With everything you need for a restful night’s sleep, give the gift of a well-slept glow with this wellness kit. Scented with calming notes of geranium, bergamot, lavender, camomile, mandarin, coconut and fig, it comes packed in an OB-designed box that's ready to wrap.

Alyssa Glass Photo Frame

11. Share your snaps

Don’t keep your memories in your phone! A decorative photo frame or holder makes showing off your snaps more fun and can be turned into a very personal gift. Print out the perfect-sized snap to include with your gift so they can put it on display as soon as they’ve unwrapped it.

Gluggle Jugs

12. Homeware hero

A familiar favourite, gluggle jugs bring a playful twist to the table with their signature gurgling sound. Whether used to serve drinks or as a vase, choose from muted or bright colours for a thoughtful gift.
