Summer gifting

August 5, 2025

Warm weather gifting feels a little different – more impromptu, heartfelt less about occasion and more about gesture. A bottle of something cold brought to a long lunch, a thank you left behind after a sun-soaked weekend, a thoughtful parcel in the post ‘just because.’

We’ve gathered a collection of gentle, beautiful pieces sure to delight, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, marking a new beginning or simply sending something small to show you care.

Birthdays

For those midsummer birthdays that seem to sneak up between beach days and barbecues, choose something full of charm to be enjoyed for years to come.

Sorbet Living Linen Cushion – with prints by artist Sophie Harpley, these pretty cushions sit beautifully with all interior styles.
Sorbet Living Handmade Willow Basket – perfect for market mornings or storing away summer essentials.
Spanish Handblown Glass – evoking Mediterranean shores, each one is a little different, catching the light in just the right way.

New Home

For friends flinging open the door to somewhere new, a little something to settle in with.

Ceramic Egg Holder — one of our favourite finds, this looks so inviting filled with fresh brown eggs!
Ceramic Lemon Squeezer – on the table ready for summer spritzes at dusk.
Putty Linen Duvet Cover, Fitted Sheet and Pillowcases – a great option for a group gift, soft and breathable in the warmest months.

Weddings

We love summer weddings. Gifting something timeless, tactile and a little romantic feels just right.
