Ah, the end of the year… that mix of warm weather, tired kids, long afternoons, and inboxes overflowing with sales. I wanted to put something together that felt a bit calmer — a simple, beachy gift guide with pieces I’ve made and genuinely love. No rush, no pressure. Just relaxed summer energy and thoughtful things for people who adore colour, nature, and the ocean.

Oh and all prices below include worldwide postage (because I hate shipping surprises!)
