Something different - Handmade gifts


Looking for some christmas gift inspiration? How about something handmade? Something different; henna candles, dreamcatchers or butterflies!
My mum's friend and her daughter handmake all of these stunning gifts. All can be made by request, or you could just choose a colour scheme and see what you get!


Henna candles are definitely something I had never heard of. When I saw them I was in awe! They're soo stunning and can be used anywhere! Initially I had a couple which I never burnt, but much to my surprise they become even better after being lit! By lighting the candles and letting them burn down 3/4 inches, the henna stays in place and creates a lantern effect! You can then place a tealight in the centre and it will light up the henna! 



There is so much possibility for design! And a choice of a pillar/ rounded candle. Patterns are the obvious choice in terms of design, but you could even have an owl, elephant or peacock! Each candle comes with a flower ring too which matches the candle!



Dreamcatchers are my absolute fave, I have about 4 in my bedroom alone! The one pictured above is an example of the largest size, There is fabric wrapped around the outside, flowers attached, a peacock in the middle and tons of pretty decorative lace and feathers hanging from the bottom! Design for these is super diverse - I've had a gold metal heart turned into a dreamcatcher with pearls and black feathers! Christmas designs are also available with small figures featured (similar to the peacock). 



How about a different christmas tree decoration? All of the butterflies are made with a special meaning; to symbolise something. You will receive a note with every butterfly explaining this message. These are two of the large options, design will depend on size, but colour is completely up to you! Both of these feature a new design with the small flowers within the chains, these are also available in different colours! 

All of the butterflies are perfect for hanging in windows, or anywhere you fancy! Each butterfly has a small silver charm of your choice at the top, ranging from the tree of life, an ohm or small birds. My new favorite is a small ring with 'Faith, love, hope' written on it!


These stars are a brand new addition to the collection! This is a wooden option, however there are also silver/ gold! The one pictured is also frosted with small crystals which look like snow/ice! They would look absolutely fab hanging in your christmas tree!
