The girls and I have put our heads together and come up with what we think are the Top 5 Gift Guide for everyone you need to think of this Christmas. Of course, we could have extended the list to include Aunty June, Cousin Barry,the neighbours down the street and that guy that sits next to you at work, however this list is designed to keep you in the good books with those most influential in your life!

I love to support local talent and for some time now I have been waiting to unveil the my latest discovery - the amazingly talented Sydney-based ceramicist, Samantha Robinson. Her porcelain pieces are all hand made and feature colourful intricate decals layered upon one another with no two pieces ever the same. Not only beautiful the pieces are durable and suitable for dishwasher and microwave use - very clever! Our latest range features her divine Watermelon Bowls (of course!!), Rockmelon dishes, teacups and dazzling illuminators which transpose delightful silhouettes with a just a little candlight - sensational. Starting at $39.95, the pieces are a stunning, and affordable, addition to any homes decor. Read more on Samantha's journey in this recent Home Beautiful feature article.
