Clumsy Christmas Gift Guide - Womens

So last week I gave you my Gift suggestions for the fellas. Here are some great UK small businesses making products for Women...

Pennychoo

Ok, so not strictly just for the ladies, Pennychoo offers fabulous mid-century inspired greetings cards for everyone; Men, Women, children, dogs. My favorites are from the Boibles range, Inspired by the spiky look and feel of 1950s Vegas casino imagery, with a dash of Rat Pack swagger. The perfect cards to send to your mid century loving chums!

Bow and Crossbones

Keeping on the theme of Mid Century inspired design, next up is the emporium of sparkly delights that is Bow and Crossbones. If you are looking for something with a little sparkle then look no further. Bow and Crossbones has a wide range of jewellry, homewares and accessories. And there is even a section on their website with gift ideas under a tenner! These beautiful red and gold lucite drops are just £15.

Dead To Me

If the lady in question prefers the darker side of life, perhaps this gorgeous hand made resin Skull Moth necklace from Dead To Me? Making handcrafted accessories, for rockers, reprobates and the recently deceased, Dead To Me is all handmade in London UK.

Little Miss Delicious

Prefer something cuter? What about these adorable hand crafted snowman earrings made by Little Miss Delicious. Don't they just melt your heart? There are loads more adorable items like these to be found on her website, and once again, all handmade in the UK.

Dolly Cool

Of course your lovely lady will also need something to wear in her hair. And I am head over heals with this fabulous Christmas Lights print hair tie from Dolly Cool. You can find lots of other Christmas prints and Christmas versions of her jewellry line on her website.

Miss Fortune

Want to buy your lady of choice a gorgeous pin up inspired outfit for Christmas Day? How about the Frankii dress from Miss Fortune? Check out the website for lots of gorgeous dresses and seperates. All designed by Miss Fortune.

The Weaving Room

Looking for something cosy and luxurious? How about this beautiful hand woven scarf made by The Weaving Room in Gloucestershire? Made from a Silk, Merino and linen blend this gorgeous scarf makes the perfect luxury gift.

I hope you like my suggestions, these are all designed and made in the UK. You can also find lots of lovely gift ideas on my website too!

Fabulous Finds... Little Miss Delicious, Yummy Handmade Jewelery and Accessories.

Part of the reason I wanted to do my Fabulous Finds feature, is because I’ve met so many talented designer/makers in the last few years, and I wanted to highlight how hard they work to follow their passion. One such person is Maxine, owner/designer/maker/pizza taster/CEO at Little Miss Delicious.

Maxine makes all of her jewellery range by hand, and her skills and attention to detail are astounding! She’s worth following on facebook and instagram for her work in progress pictures, which are truly inspiring. You can see an example above. It's sometimes as if she is creating a smiling food army, which is spread through the land, teaching us to love what we eat, and making us smile in the process!

For those unfamiliar with Maxine’s range, the main theme is food; cute, sweet, and tasty snacks such as popcorn, chips, toast, pizza, and sushi. Each item comes with an adorable little face, smiling back at you! I’ve picked out my favourites from the range, but there is soooo much more to see on the Little Miss Delicious website.

This Loved Up Toast Necklace is my favorite item from the range. Look at his cute little face! yum. Now where did i hide the toaster?

Check out the attention to detail on this Sushi Charm Bracelet. Each charm is lovingly crafted by hand. 

I love the retro american style of this Poppin Popcorn Necklace. Look at his rosy little cheeks. SO cute!

And finally i love this set of coasters. Perfect for popping your tea cup on.

Fabulous Finds... Molly & Pearl Vintage Jewellery and Accessories

For February and March I will be bringing something a little bit special to my blog! Through running Clumsy I have met some really talented small business owners, who have a broad and exciting rang of products to rival any high street offering. So…I have decided to write about some of those small businesses, here on my blog.

First up are Molly & Pearl, Vintage Jewellery and Accessories. Molly & Pearl are passionate about sourcing the best vintage and antique jewellery, searching antique centers, fairs, shops, markets and auctions in order to find the highest quality vintage products. Which sounds like a lot of fun to me! Their products range from 1930's snakeskin bags, 1950's brooches and necklaces, to scarves and more contemporary jewellery.

I’m impressed by the broad selection on offer, with something for everybody; dainty floral brooches, bold Native American style necklaces, and gorgeous 50s style fruit charms. I’ve picked out my favorites from their collection, which I think would really complete any classic 50s outfit.

I love this striking green Lucite necklace; it’s just the right amount of chic, whilst still being a little bit daring. It’s such a gorgeous green colour!

If the Lucite is a little bit too bold for you, why not try this pretty Red Berry Necklace, with an explosion of adorable berries, and leaf charms.

I am a sucker for anything sparkly, and I simply adore this deep blue vintage evening bag. It would make the perfect accessory for a wedding or special occasion, or even add a spot of glam to a plain dress for a night out.

There is a lot more to see at Molly & Pearl, with new items being added all the time, so it’s defiantly worth following their social network pages for news of any new products…
