Beautifully soft and versatile little mini blankets available in two simple designs and three colours. There’s no doubt that these are ideal gifts for babies (if I had my babies again I’d want to snuggle them in these). BUT they’re not exclusively for babies…in fact my teenager tucks one over her knees when she’s doing homework. So they work for teen-snuggling too!
Colour: Blue & Pale Grey
Size: 55cm x 90cm
Notes: hand wash at no more than 30º

This is not a ‘wallflower’ cushion! The Tic-Tac cushion is the centre of attention. Strong, bold, graphic and unashamedly eye-catching it is also super soft (being made of 100% lambswool does that!) and with its squashy duck-down cushion pad this is a cushion to cuddle up to. Available in four colours.
Colour: Yellow and Pale Grey (with black zip)
Size: 40cm x 40cm. Duck down cushion pad included.
Notes: these are made by hand so occasionally there are slight variations from one cushion to another. Of course, this is the whole point of buying handmade things - they’re not uniform!
