TEACHER GIFTS

A sensational example of Burgon & Ball’s collaboration with Sophie Conran, the latest generation of the British design dynasty. She brings her ‘modern country house’ style to a range of must-have garden tools and accessories, elevating the everyday for home gardeners and plant lovers.

Ergonomically, this tool is a joy to use. As with all things in life, it’s a matter of balance: the handle slides forwards easily in your hand as you tilt, the slender, angled spout to direct the pour for on-target watering. The result is more moisture where it’s needed and less waste of a valuable resource in a dry continent.

Behind this fusion of beauty and practicality is Burgon & Ball’s peerless metal-working skills, developed continually throughout the company’s 290-year history. The steel body is treated with a protective powder coating and a sophisticated matt finish in a range of colours, including Sophie’s choice of this deliciously creamy buttermilk hue.

A metal seal bearing the Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball logo on the top surface of the can adds the finishing touch and marks this out as a design of distinction. Pretty enough to leave out on the windowsill with pride.

Materials: Powder-coated galvanised steel

Dimensions: 43 x 23 x 13cm

Capacity 1.7 litres

Indoor plants add so much more authentic style to an indoor space, so to nurture your plant babies, why use a watering can which is anything less than gorgeous and that will likely not go the distance with your plants.

Burgon & Ball's compact indoor watering can is great for your small garden or balcony. Its stone look belies its lightweight steel construction.  And the slender spout is perfect for delivering water just where it’s needed – and nowhere else. The smooth wooden handle is sourced from Forest Stewardship Council ((FSC) certified beechwood which is extremely tactile and feels beautiful in the hand, and gives precise control over pouring. 

Beautifully moulded in steel for a smooth, flawless finish, with a tough powder coating to ensure it stays looking good.

Available also in Charcoal you'll be spoilt for choice with best-selling popular item.

Spice Boys

VALOR's Byron Spice Face and Body soap features an exotic, invigorating and warm scent. Some say it reminds them of the scent-filled Byron Bay breeze on a warm sub-tropical evening. Lucky them!

Lather up with this seriously enticing blend of unique spices, ethically sourced natural ingredients, and essential oils such as Ginger, Cinnamon and Patchouli. Handcrafted to leave your skin thoroughly clean and nourished, but never dry.

VALOR's Byron Spice Soap is handmade predominantly from Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Castor Bean Oil, Shea Butter, and Avocado Oil. Featuring Valor's signature blend of 100% Pure Essential Oils, Natural Scents and ethical ingredients. Making a nourishing soap that is gentle on the skin and the environment.

How is it different?
Valor soaps retain ALL the natural, nourishing glycerin, produced in the saponification process, which locks in your skin’s natural moisture and prevents over-drying. For this reason, you should always allow your soap to “Air”  between uses. Never leave it sitting in water, as Glycerine is a humectant – attracting moisture and your soap will go too soft.
