Hello colour lover!

Welcome to my annual colourful Christmas Gift list, bringing you a selection of handmade, handcrafted, and unique colourful gifts from around our colour filled world.

Once again I put a call out my Instagram followers inviting them to be featured on my colourful Christmas gift list and once again the response was overwhelming.

The reason I do this is simple. To support small, fledging independent artists and makers.

The good news is their products are available all year round, so if you have a birthday, anniversary, need a thank you gift, or maybe even to treat yourself you can always pop back here.

Check out the colourful creatives from around the world…

Australia – Spoon Gal

christmas gift list 2022 spoon gal the little book of colour 1

Location: Byron Shire, Australia
Product/s description: I am lucky enough to spend my time making handcrafted timber items that are beautiful and functional, from found and sustainable local timber sources. I predominantly carve spoons for cooking and eating, but have also branched out into single stem vases and sculptural hangers, as well as intermittent chopping boards, or whatever the timber tells me to do.  I love form and function with art. There is something very special about working with timber. I feel like it grounds us in a profound way, a way that standing on certain land sometimes does. I love carving for this reason above all!

Ideal customer: Anyone who would like a unique, bespoke, handmade wooden item, which is only designed to nourish your body and soul.
