GIFTS FOR MUM

Wattle & Loop bring you colourful, do-able slow stitch embroidery kits that you will lovingly complete. No more 'hope' boxes of embroidery projects sitting gathering dust at the top of your wardrobe.

These kits have everything you need to inspire you to get your needle on and get crafting. Using scissors, glue, needle, and DMC thread together with lovingly curated Liberty of London print fabric remnants and exquisite linens, the designs come to life right before your eyes. Better still, the designs are contemporary and totally framable. You'll feel a great sense of satisfaction hanging them around your house or, perhaps, your new creative studio as your own ideas begin to unfurl.

The crimson fig is this kit's celebrity. Designer Kylie Wright brings the luscious fruit to life so much so that Yotham Ottolenghi could surely use it for his next book cover. Watch the video and see how easy it is to create your own delightful art.

Perfumaria Phebo's Água de Rosmarino, or Sea Dew,  Cologne is a versatile and aromatic citrus creation that brings herbal notes balanced with hints of spice such as cardamom and nutmeg.

The bluish tone of the packaging highlights the fragrance's freshness and refers to the original poetic Latin meaning of "Ros Marinus": Sea Dew. Through the light this glass facets of this gorgeously crafted bottle change colour, ensuring all your senses are delighted when you use an Aguas de Phebo fragrance.

The generous 260ml bottle is a fitting vessel for such a fresh cologne produced with an extra-neutral and purer alcohol that does not interfere with the fragrance, Águas de Phebo colognes pass through a process of maceration for a greater intensity of the olfactory notes and a superior quality.

Sweep up to new heights

Whether you want to sweep up the kids’ crumbs or take your dinner parties to fine dining level and clean up between courses, this convenient set takes up little room but does a big job. 

Choose a colour to match your potting bench, kitchen, table setting, studio or workshop. This cream makes a classic but subtle entrance when clearing the table.

And its usefulness isn’t limited to the dining table. This set is perfect for indoor gardening to collect any potting mix that may have missed the pot.

Artsy and crafty types will also find these a boon. Keep a separate one handy to flick away eraser shreds from your drawing, sweep threads from your stitchwork, coral beads together and much more.

This set, part of a collaboration with French design studio Mr & Mrs Clynk, brings streamlined modern chic to a classic. It consists of a brush framed in sustainably cultivate beech, with bristles in a blend of natural and synthetic fibres. Simply sweep crumbs and other particles into the lacquered metal tray and whisk them away. 

Presented in a gift box, this is an ideal gift for anyone whose enthusiasms sometimes get messy, including yourself.

Even the mundane act of sweeping up a surface can be a chance to reflect on the beauty of the materials and form. A small moment of grace and beauty in an ordinary day.

Hung up on you

Indoor gardening gets really fun when you introduce hanging pots. Your design flair extends to the unused space in the room and it begins to look a little more like an indoor jungle should.

DOT is a great way to get started and is just the perfect showcase for those small-but-perfectly-formed baby succulents, especially set against the pure white-dimpled rustic glaze.

Imagine the satisfaction of toting a sophisticated, premium-quality leather bag and saying, “I made this myself.” Or giving a self-stitched leather piece as a truly personal gift. 

Perhaps you're looking at crafts for Mother's Day gifts but your young-at-heart mum is not quite ready to start crochet. Your partner, wife or mum will love making it herself or won't quite believe it when you tell her you made it with love for her. 

J Tanner's shoulder bag is a truly personal birthday, thank you, or Mother's Day gift and was designed to bring classic flair to a modern lifestyle. With an adjustable leather shoulder strap, classic brass metal hardware, one large compartment for storing your goods, and a quick access pouch on the back (perfect as a small cardholder, or for slim documents), this shoulder bag is built for life on the go.

Choose between a luscious brown or go for the purity of the Fora Studios exclusive Natural vegetable-tanned leather option.

The simple, minimal aesthetic of the designs shows off the quality of the vegetable-tanned leather. And your brilliant handiwork, of course.

J Tanner  DeConstructed kits contain all you need, along with easy-to-follow video guides, for successful leathercrafting, no matter your skill level.

Dimensions: 17cm x 19cm x 6cm
Difficulty: Medium
Crafting time: approx 7 - 9 hours

You are what you eat…and how you eat as well.

Add a dash of Art Deco with the geometric repeating fans of the 1922 design. You too can feel like a partygoer from The Great Gatsby, whether you’re feasting on lobster or fish and chips.

Sustainability on the go

Ditching plastic cutlery doesn’t mean eating your salad with a clumsy bamboo spork. Saying no to disposable utensils becomes second nature when you carry around this nifty, French-designed three-piece set.

Highly pragmatic, universal, and super-sleek, it’s ready to use whenever you buy food on the go, have a picnic in your local botanic gardens, take your prepped lunch out of the work fridge, chow down at a food court or take out a snack on a bushwalk.

You can eat elegantly while playing your part in ending single-use cutlery, keeping plastic waste out of the environment, and taking hygiene into your own hands. Just choose a design to your taste.

Clever magnetic design

Each piece — spoon, four-prong fork and a knife with micro-serrated edge, in a cotton carry bag — is thoughtfully designed and engineered to be light and comfortable in the hand, while a clever system of magnets keeps the set safely together and prevents losing a precious component.

Materials: Stainless steel, polymer

Dimensions: 18 x 3.3cm

Cutlery made in China and France

Designed, printed, and assembled in Akinod's Paris, France workshop

Where it's at

"Uptown is for people who have already done something...

Downtown is where they're doing something right now"          Andy Warhol

Hop of your Vespa (helmet on of course). The Downtown Green set bridges urban cool and natural charm. Its reverse city map motif and deep green background offer the best of both worlds.
