There really is nothing like receiving something handmade, is there?  You can’t help but appreciate all of the consideration and thought that must’ve gone into producing it.  A personalised, handmade gift is something you will love and cherish forever.

Our Boutique of the Week this week is Patchwork Daisy – home of all things handmade and hand painted, specialising in personalised and unique gifts for children and the home.

Teatime draught excluder, £25

I love this draught excluder- the appliqued pattern is so cute… there’s even tea in the teacup!  Gorgeous fabric and colours.

Betty and baby Freddy, by Rag Bags Collection £17.25

Owner Emily explains, ” Having run out of original Christmas gift ideas for my niece and nephew I decided to hand paint some personalised wooden letters for them to stick up in their bedrooms. The idea sparked off a snowball effect of friends and family requesting bespoke designs for letters and name plaques “.  And the rest is history, as they say!

Decorative letters, from £10 each

Emily likes nothing more than to spend the day making gifts in her Daisy House workshop ready to sell online.

Needle and pin case, £8

Messing About on Boats personalised name plaque, £27

Children love personalised items with their name on. I remember having a Christmas book when I was little in which the character’s names were printed to be the same as my close friend’s and family’s.  I thought it was magical!  The Messing About on Boats name plaque is perfect for your little sailor.  Check out the full range here.
