'Collingwood of Somerset's Orange Blossom & Fig candle smells good enough to eat.' - ELLE
Drifting through the orchard, delicate orange blossom gives way to ripening fig and soft cedarwood.
Collingwood of Somerset is a family company whose aim is to create a range of luxury candles inspired by the English countryside, both in fragrance but also in design. With every candle hand poured in England, each one brings a touch of luxury to every room. They only use high quality waxes - a mix of mineral and coconut with the purest fragrance oils available.
The candles smell delicious and the packaging is beautiful. They're the perfect indulgence for yourself or a loved one.

Spoil your loved one with this little bit of beautiful calming me-time, in a bottle!
This Lavender bath range from Plum & Ashby is an absolute treat. Not only will the apothecary style glass bottle look beautiful in your bathroom, but you can relax, unwind and create your own luxury spa experience at home with these French Lavender Bath Salts.
When sprinkled under running water, the salts release French Lavender flowers to create a moisturising and relaxing bath. The sea salts help naturally cleanse the skin without drying and causing irritation.

Say it with Flowers! I always adore a vase, especially at this time of year when you can fill them with beautiful Spring flowers like daffs, tulips and hyacinths! At Rhubarb & Hare we have a variety of vases that will work perfectly by your sink, by your bedside, in the bathroom, on a coffee table, or mantelpiece.
This pink porcelain vase is one of our bestsellers. Hand thrown by Claire Folkes ceramics, it is fully glazed on the inside but partially glazed on the outside with this gentle matt pink glaze. Made with spring flowers in mind, it has a slightly wider neck to accommodate flowers with thicker stems like tulips, hyacinths and paper whites. It will look perfect with either a single stem or a little posy gathered from the garden.

These exquisite purple Dahlia napkins are what made me fall in love with Lottie Day's designs. I am a massive Dahlia fan anyway and Lottie's original illustration is just heavenly. The purple colour is so gentle to give the design depth whilst still being neutral enough to work with most tablescapes.
Inspired by the flowers growing in her mother's garden in Norfolk, each napkin has been hand printed by Lottie in her Norfolk studio then heat pressed so they can be thrown in the washing machine regularly. Handmade in the UK on 100% natural cotton they are the perfect gift box for anyone who loves their allotment, garden or just the country.

Gluggle Jugs are a national institution and are one of our absolute bestsellers! If you have never had the pleasure of hearing one poured then my friend you are in for an absolute treat. They make a funny glugging noise and whether you are five, or eight-five, it always brings a smile to everyone’s face! We use ours as a water jug but they can also be used for wine or even as a utensil jar, a vase or just an ornament.
The Vintage List's mission is to reproduce some of the wonderful glassware you find in antique markets and salerooms. They have created old designs which are timeless yet perfectly complement other modern homeware. These are hand made, hand engraved with the loveliest array of designs but best of all, these are made from fine, lead-free glass and could go in the dishwasher!
Using Vintage List glassware is an absolute treat. It feels so gorgeous to hold and use. So whether your loved one likes a wee G&T, a sherry of an evening or a lovely elderflower cordial we have the glassware to put a smile on her face.

Treat her with the world's most beautiful afternoon tea set!
I fell in love with this handmade stoneware cake stand as soon as I saw it. It's so beautiful it'll look just as good sitting empty on your kitchen counter as it will do on your table, holding a gorgeous cake as you sit down for afternoon tea. I absolutely adore the ritual of sitting down to share some tea and cake with loved ones so any excuse to make that feel more of an occasion is fine by me.
Hand thrown by Claire Folkes Ceramics in her studio in rural Essex, these cake stands are hand glazed using a special blend of matt and gloss glazes which are poured by hand over each stand to give each one its own unique marbled effect where the glazes overlap.
