Father’s Day Fundamentals

With father’s day fast approaching we have put together our top gift ideas. From those Dads who are looking forward to spending their summers in their garden to those who prefer a good beer garden, we have something for everyone this Father’s Day.

Green & Blue Birdball Birdhouse

Garden Trading Vence Planters

Blomus Fuera Birdbath and Birdfeeder

Our first top Father’s Day gift idea is from brand Green & Blue who’s ethos is to design beautiful products that help to create a more sustainable world. The Birdball Birdhouse is inspired by the natural forms of bird nests and are perfect for providing a safe environment and home for nesting small birds such as Blue tits, Coal tits and March tits. The hole is large enough to allow easy access for these small birds but small enough to keep out predators. A fantastic Father’s Day gift for nature lovers.

Our next must-have item is the set of three Vence Planters from Garden Trading. Perfect for green-thumbed fathers, the Vence planters have a classic and timeless style with their unique vintage ribbed style which is reminiscent of traditional wash dollies. Perfect for creating a stunning display by any door, entranceway or terrace and patio.

Our final gift for Dad’s who love the outdoors is the Blomus Fuera Birdfeeder and Birdbath. One of our most popular items, this bird feeder gives a modern twist to the traditional bird table with its stylish stainless steel design.

Now for those fathers who enjoy a drink at the end of the day. 

Normann Copenhagen Whisky Glasses

LSA Whisky Renfrew Decanter

LSA City Bar Lager Glasses

Our first gift idea here is one of our top sellers, the Normann Copenhagen Whisky Glasses. Designed to enhance the pleasure of drinking whisky, these stylish glasses took their inspiration from designer Rikke Hagen’s passion for collecting pebbles on the beach. A perfect example of modern Danish design, this set of two whisky glasses make a fabulous gift for whisky loving fathers.

Our penultimate gift idea for this Father’s day is from LSA’s gorgeous Whisky Collection. The gorgeous Renfrew Decanter has a cylindrical form and sits on a commanding walnut base to create a fantastically sophisticated aesthetic. Expertly made this decanter is perfect for those who like to enjoy whisky the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Last but by no means least we have our final item, the City Bar Lager Glasses, also from LSA. These angular lager glasses are ideal for adding a touch of sophistication to dinner parties or casual drinks with friends. The long body of the glasses combined with the short, thick stem and rounded base adds a touch of contemporary sophistication to your glassware collection and is the perfect gift this Father’s Day for those who are looking forward to enjoying a cool lager in their gardens this summer.

Spring To Life

As winter turns to spring and spring turns to summer we’re bringing you some of our favourite springtime accessories; old and new.

First up we have this beautiful suspended Birdball Bird House from Green and Blue. Available in both terracotta and white, these little bird houses are inspired by the natural forms of bird nests and are perfect for providing a safe environment and home for small birds as the hole is large enough to allow access of them, but small enough to keep out any predators.

Next we have two brand new products from Garden Trading. First is this set of three Chadlington Planters. With their wonderfully antique appearance, these planters are ideally suited to bringing a touch of classic and timeless design to your garden. Crafted from galvanised steel, each of these planters is designed to weather gracefully and look stunning when planted up with blooms by a door, entranceway, or on the terrace.

The second Garden Trading item we’re bringing you is their ever-popular Folding Bistro Bench in a brand new Dorset Blue colour. Perfect for bringing a touch of Parisian chic to your garden, the folding bistro bench is the epitome of stylish garden furniture and will look effortlessly elegant in any setting – modern, traditional, urban, country or seaside.

Our fourth item is the brand new Ascot Picnic Rug from Tweedmill. Available in both Navy and Sage Green, the Ascot Picnic Rug is made from 100% lambswool with a waterproof backing, whilst the carrier is made from a gorgeous faux suede. Not only is this picnic rug practical and easily transportable, but it also brings a touch of sophistication and style to your spring/summer picnics.

Our penultimate item is from Twig UK, brand new to Black by Design. This Sulphur Throw is one of Twig’s most popular throws, and it is not difficult to see why. This throw seamlessly unites a striking colour palette of powder blue, yellow, ivory and grey to create a throw that is a lovely blend of both contemporary and traditional tastes. Perfect for throwing over your sofa, or for cuddling up under outside as the nights get longer and the weather warmer.

And last but by no means least, we have an oldie but a goodie; the Blomus Fuoco Tabletop Fire Pit. Ideal for introducing a touch of ambience to your outdoor entertainment, this fabulous table top firepit is the perfect companion to an evening sat outside with friends, talking about anything and everything under the stars.
