Team BD x
Brum print
Pickle Illustration
There’s plenty of prints to choose from this illustrating duo’s shop but it’s their latest ‘Brum’ creation that caught our eye. Flying the flag for creativity in Birmingham? That’s a big YES from us. Printed on professional photographic 230gsm matte paper.
Hausbirds
Hausform
Superbly modern with cute characteristics, Hausbirds are the perfect addition to anyone’s mantlepiece (or vintage G-Plan sideboard). With a few styles to choose from, why not pick the one that looks most like who you’re giving it to?
Original paintings
Tahgasa Bertram
We love the bright, bold shapes and colours of Tahgasa’s paintings. Help your friends and family to brighten up their homes with an original canvas.
Scented candles
Provide
It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas! We’ve sniffed both of these seasonal scents from Provide multiple times and still can’t pick a favourite. Best to buy both.
Children’s picture book bundle
The Emma Press
Something for the kids – and adults too! This book bundle from the small press with big ideas is full of gorgeous pictures and stories to keep children entertained on the big day.
Tree ornaments
Studio Bearon
A gift for yourself pre-Christmas to get in the spirit? These decorations are a cute addition to anyone’s tree, each one is available in a choice of three acrylics.
List lovers letterbox gift
HELLO TIME
List lovers unite! We all know someone who this would be perfect for. They’ve already got all of their gifts sorted, most likely back in July. Surprise them with this stylish monochrome set including a to-do list, notepad and an inspiring quote pencil pack.
Drip-book
B18 Leather
Do you know someone who needs to add a bit of flair to their meetings? Hand cut and hand painted with a hand-made book of beautiful art paper – there are a few colours to choose from but mint is definitely our favourite.
Pegboard
Groove
Perfect for that designer who likes to be tidy, or needs to be tidy. It’s freestanding, made from birch plywood and comes with 20 pegs. And if the size listed doesn’t quite fit your needs, Groove offer a bespoke service too.
BDF scarf
From us!
Shameless plug alert! Winter can be dreary and grey so give it a much needed dose of colour and brighten up your, um, neck. Tight knit scarves made from 90% acrylic & 10% lycra, featuring a colourful BDF carriers design.
