Your wedding day is magical and your honeymoon is the holiday that you never want to end, seriously. It's. The. Best. So you can imagine the come down when you're carried over the threshold (yes we totally ticked that box) to realise all the wedding festivities are over. That is until you realise you have a wedding gift to open from Uncommon Goods*, a cool website that brings together designers, artisans and all round talented folk to offer you different, can't-find-anywhere-else gifts and homewares. 


So before you get carried away and start cracking open the champagne with me (because how else do you open wedding gifts?) let’s talk about what I found inside the cardboard packaging, say hello to our personalised Hannah and Craig print. Isn’t it the cutest? What I love about Uncommon Goods is not only the huge selection of items you never thought you needed until you laid eyes on them but how you get to learn more about the seller too, 'cos after all we all buy from the person right? Our cameo print was designed by Mary & Shelly Klein a mother and daughter duo who not only design couple prints but ace family portraits too - don't just take my word for it, check them here.

Sadie was also lucky enough to get a thoughtful wedding gift too (well she did make the cutest baby around on our special day). The All Aboard Books make a refreshing change from the run of the mill childrens books, taking you on a journey of landmarks in Paris and New York. This adorable series is designed by a husband and wife team and I love how they introduce French to children in a cool, retro inspired book. Sadie can’t get enough of books right now and will happily sit and while away a few quiet moments with one in hand (a woman after my own heart) so it’s a joy to see her with something a touch different. Check out Hailys mini store of beyond cute children's goods here and on that note I bid you au revoir mes amis. 


Do you enjoy finding new places to shop for homewares and gifts? I've got my eye on this super cool lighting.
