As enjoyable as it is, Christmas can be hard work from the beginning of December to the day itself. For a solution to almost every Christmas challenge, have a look at Driftwood Designs; ultimately affordable and utterly beautiful solutions are at your fingertips. Every item is designed in Wales and manufactured in the UK.

Driftwood Designs incorporate the work of Welsh artist and illustrator Lizzie Spikes. Her passion is creating colourful illustrations that can be translated to everyday items, such as cards, homewares, kitchen essentials, prints and so much more. This means her art can be brought into people’s everyday lives in the form of practical objects, such as oven gloves, lamp shades, coasters, aprons and even clocks.

DECORATIONS – https://driftwooddesigns.co.uk/product-category/pop-ins/decorations/

If your Christmas prep begins with ‘decking the halls’, Driftwood can supply some new, unusual and stylish additions to your decorations box – or even help start you afresh. There is Christmas bunting to hang on your walls or windows, with traditional Christmas subjects given Lizzie’s inimitable style.

For the tree, there are beautiful wooden decorations with designs inspired by the winter solstice, Christmas traditions and the beauty of the snowy landscape. Made in Cornwall from sustainable European birch and finished with a length of satin ribbon, these are a lovely alternative to / complement for traditional baubles.

In addition, as well as signs and festive cushions, there are even little heart-shaped bowls with winter scenes, perfect for Christmas nibbles while wrapping presents or having drinks with friends and family.

CARDS – https://driftwooddesigns.co.uk/cards/

With such fabulous designs at accessible prices, you may also want to stock up on some of the gorgeous Christmas cards available. With illustrations that evoke the magic of Christmas, ranging from traditional Welsh, idyllic snowscapes, cutesy villages, seasonal seafronts, and old-fashioned Yuletide scenes – these cards provide a glimpse into magical scenes bringing the true spirit of the season to your recipient.

For something even more special, check out the Advent Cards. These make a lovely small gift for Christmas lovers. These are special enough to be given instead of a gift and will be treasured year after year.  Many people reuse the folding cottage cards as part of their Christmas decorating – so super sustainable too. They are an inexpensive and thoughtful way of sending love and a bit of the magic of a traditional Christmas.

All Driftwood’s cards are made from recycled card and printed in Wales.

STOCKING FILLERS / SECRET SANTA – https://driftwooddesigns.co.uk/product-category/send-a-present/gifts-under-5/

With Driftwood Designs being so sensibly priced, you can stock up on some fabulous stocking fillers or even your secret Santa surprise. For under £5 there are magnets, badges, notebooks, coasters, car stickers, badges and keyrings, with the proliferation of designs meaning there is something for every taste. And, while they are low on price, they are high on quality and style, showcasing Lizzie’s signature panache.

AFFORDABLE GIFTS – https://driftwooddesigns.co.uk/homeware/

For bigger, yet still affordable gifts, there are some really stunning household products with beautiful illustrations that will look as good in a cosy cottage as in a large, modern home – and everything in between. Some designs are replicated across all or some of Driftwood’s product series; from colourful hearts to cheerful daffodils, from landscapes to woodlands to beaches, from summer meadows to autumn mushrooms, glittering fish to woolly sheep, and so much more besides. Choose from oven gloves or tea towels, aprons or chopping boards, cushion covers or lamps, doormats or even deckchairs. There are designs that will suit any mood or colour scheme – and all inspired by Lizzie’s passion for creating a beautiful environment to live in.

BIG GIFTS https://driftwooddesigns.co.uk/prints/fine-art-prints/

Does someone deserve something extra special this year? Or do you just love spoiling your family and friends? If you want to give a gift that will be kept in pride of place forever, a more extravagant gift of one of Lizzie’s fine art prints will be a true showstopper on Christmas morning. All the fine art prints are reproductions of original paintings by Lizzie and range in size from A4 (£35.00) to A1 (£82.00).  There are many charming images to choose from, including floral designs, seascapes and landscapes, birds, woodland creatures, sunsets and moons. There really is something for everyone!

For the extra special touch, each Fine Art Print comes in an oak frame and is printed and signed to order.
