The Feldspar Gift Guide
Our annual gift guide is here! A considered curation of festive Feldspar to pop under the tree. It includes all our best-sellers – Butter Dishes and Mugs make perennially excellent presents, as does our favourite Fruit Bowl – plus some slightly more left-field ideas for those who are tricky to buy for but will appreciate something that has been meticulously handmade here in Devon.
We’ve split it into sections so it’s easier to navigate, and it also includes items that are now newly available in a whole array of colours – fancy Satsuma orange plates for your Christmas citrus? Or Rose Pink bowls to display an array of Turkish Delight? Or one of each so everyone can choose their favourite… plus an incredibly useful collection of gifts under £75.
Read on for all our recommendations – we hope you find something you like that’ll be treasured for years to come, because any piece of Feldspar is not just for Christmas, but a true object for life!
The Butcher
For the host or for the chef, a Giant Oval Serving Platter for an enormous turkey / A Set of Four Dinner Plates to lay the table with, here in our Classic Cobalt / A Salt Pig to keep your seasoning dust and debris free beside the hob / A dinky Salt Cellar for the table / And an essential Funnel for that all important gravy decanting - functional but beautiful and made to last
The Baker
A Cake Stand to elevate a Festive Bake - ours come in three sizes depending on your needs / A Cake Plate in seasonal Geranium Red, the perfect size for a Mince Pie / Our new Brioche and Madeleine Wall Lights made with Berdoulat, perfect for the kitchen / Ceramic Spoons for dusting cinnamon on your porridge / A Butter Dish, a bestseller for a reason / A Juicer, a fantastic present that juices exceptionally well and will keep you in hot toddies for years to come / A Measuring Jug, also used in our house as an elegant gravy boat / A Teacup and Saucer, to keep the chef going
The Candlestick Maker
Candlelight is, in our opinion, vital to creating that festive cosy feeling - so here are our favourites / Our Feldspar x Lucy Williams Home Wall Sconce, a total sell-out last year so snap these up as soon as possible / Our Striped Scented 'Moor' Candle, hand-poured with natural wax and essential oils to create an uplifting scent reminiscent of the fresh open moorland that surrounds us / Our classic Candle Holder, straight from a nursery rhyme / Our lone Candlestick and our majestic Candelabra, both for the table or either side of the mantle / An exclusive Lidded Corinthia Candle made with the eponymous hotel in London evoking their elegant interiors / All paired with a pair of our hand-dipped Dartmoor Beeswax Candles, naturally richly scented.
The Collector
Something special, for those tricky-to-buy-for ones or those who have it all, but possibly not a bespoke handmade Walnut and Brass Nutcracker, perfectly engineered for precision nut-cracking / A fine bone china Champagne Bucket, to make your ice twice and nice and chill any festive fizz in style / Something unique from our limited edition collection with Tanya Ling, a show stopping Cafetière or a Teacup & Saucer / One of our Merrivale Table Lamps - handmade from the tip of the beautiful linen Eloise Scotland shade to the hand-carved brass dimmer switch set into the fine bone china base, creating a wonderful warming light for much jigsaw puzzling.
The Hibernator
A very important part of the festive season for us - the chance to hibernate and embrace the quiet between Christmas and the New Year, preferably hunkering down on the sofa under one of our super soft Lambswool Moor Blankets / Or stashing away our favourite trinkets in on of our Trinket Pots / Cradling a spiced hot chocolate from our classic 7oz Coffee Mug, available in a bespoke set because one will never be enough / Clutching a steaming Bowl of soup in between feasts / Enjoying never-ending cups of tea from our Small Teapot while leaning against the Aga / And admiring a 24ct Gold Hand-Painted decoration on the tree will never get old, either a Bell or a classic Bauble.
The Under £75 Collection
Vital, because Christmas is an expensive time no matter how you celebrate. As the late great Dame Vivienne Westwood used to say, 'buy less, but better'. And though she was talking about clothes it applies to absolutely everything. Except perhaps Lego. Here are our top gifts for less than £75 - first up, our Milk Jug, one of our very favourite things we've ever made / A striped Coffee Mug, hand-painted and sure to be treasured / A ceramic Spoon, for stirring your coffee or popping in your Salt Pig / One of our hand-painted Gold Bell decorations, beautifully boxed as standard / A Small Nesting Bowl, perfect for seasonal snacks or pickles for your fondue / A Small Oblong Platter, for serving vol-au-vents in style / An Ice Cream Bowl, perfect for a refreshing half of grapefruit or a nut selection / An Espresso Mug, small but perfectly formed - newly available in lots of colours / And finally, a Candle Snuffer. Vital for all that aforementioned candlelight...
