Artisan Gift Guide
Your curated guide of artisan gifts and travel-inspired wares
Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. A time for us to gather with family and friends, share our stories from the year gone by and to sit down and enjoy a delicious meal (or two) together. But mostly, I love the practice of choosing and giving meaningful gifts. These, I select carefully, always opting for unique artisan gifts, whenever I can.
I love to give gifts that have been crafted by skilled makers, are environmentally sustainable, or are locally made rather than mass produced. Artisanal wares and travel-inspired products that have been made with love and care. Gifts that have beautiful meaning and a great story behind them.
These are the kind of wares you’ll find in Dunmore Shoppe, our curated online boutique that showcases a range of products that I’ve selected for their exceptional quality, timeless beauty and exquisite craftsmanship.
To get you started, here are my Christmas favourites for you to add to your gift list.
Oval Rustic Platter
Clay Beehive
This is the perfect platter for all occasions, especially Christmas Day. Naturally simplistic, it has a lovely gritty, speckled clay texture with a scalloped rim or rustic blue grid, and is glazed and finished in satin white.
A beautiful way to present your appetisers, this is a charming present – whether you’re gifting it to a loved one or yourself!
Recycled Wool Blanket
The Tartan Blanket Co.
Soft, natural and breathable, this recycled wool blanket is one of my favourite artisan gifts. Not only is it exquisitely warm and cosy, but it pairs beautifully with many styles and aesthetics.
From the country to the coast, and everywhere in between, the recycled wool blanket brings a relaxed warmth to any living space. It’s also environmentally sustainable, being made from pre-loved wool products.
Linen Blanket Throw

The idyllic throw for the warmer months, this lightweight blanket works beautifully when layered and is also gorgeous on its own. Super soft, with a delicate fringe, the throw is handmade with love.
Made from 100% flax linen, it is exceptionally breathable with superb moisture-wicking and anti-bacterial properties that keep you naturally insulated and perfectly snug.
Linen Tote

Handmade in Australia, I love the classic and timeless appeal of the French Linen tote bag. I use it both as an everyday essential, and when I’m travelling.
With a cloud-like softness, it features strong reinforced handles and is extremely durable. It comes with a fully lined interior and internal pocket, giving you everything you need in a bag. Made from French flax and woven in Ireland.
Curated Christmas Gift Set
I’ve curated this inspirational gift set with a nod to Summer days filled with travel, adventure and beautiful rituals. Breathing in sunshine and slowing down to enjoy the moment. These are all the things I love about holidays.
The gift set includes the latest issue of YOLO, The Five Minute Journal, and a Turkish Hamam Beach Bath Towel.
Now, over to you to explore our gorgeous artisan gifts in our Shoppe collection. I’m sure you’ll find the perfect Christmas presents for your loved ones. Enjoy x
