1. Louise Hill Design
Louise Hill is a creative graphic designer and artist who combines graphic design, illustration and photography to create digital ‘collage’ style artworks. Growing up in a family of talented designers, she was always surrounded by beautiful textiles and creative conceptual artwork. Having graduated from Art School in London and working as a packaging designer, Louise and her Husband spent an inspiring year travelling through Asia. Her love for the energy and vibrant colours of the region shines through in her prints.
Using only her own imagery, Louise photographs, buildings, objects, textiles, ribbons as well as curated vintage props from her own collection. She then combines all the images digitally, adds in a dash of illustration and pattern and ends up with a highly detailed multi-layered finished artwork. The artworks are printed on canvas or etching paper which is sometimes hand-finished with gold ink. Pictured above is the ‘Chinoiserie in Gold & Blush Pinks’ - a perfect addition to a stylish home.

With over 48 different finishes, these bangles are sized to fit any wrist and look great stacked or worn alone.
Another fabulous gift option is the stunning Paris, 1919 collection. A vintage range of jewellery that captures the style and elegance of the Art Deco period; think the 1920s. The collection combines classic French findings, each carefully rendered from original moulds and stampings. Delicately handset with genuine Swarovski crystals, there’s hand-enamelled detailing using original colours recreated from the era. A unique French process of laying “old gold” (24K gold with an additional layer of 14K gold) over a copper or brass base brings to life this spectacular range of jewellery. A timeless collection which could very well make it to your family’s heirlooms - now who could say no to that!

3. BloomBack
BloomBack is a one-stop floral and gifts marketplace offering high-tech blooms encased in glass domes, terrariums, bouquets and more. Cute accessories like fairy lights can be added to jazz the designs up, and selected pieces even come with Bluetooth speakers. To preserve a real flower, a special patented process is used where all the water content is drawn out along with proteins, sugar and pigments, then “fed” with an eco-certified preservative. Chemists are then able to add a whole variety of smells and vibrant colours by introducing different pigments and essential oils.
Being a social-enterprise, part of the proceeds from the sale of gifts will go towards supporting marginalised women through training and employment opportunities in the gift industry. Preserved flowers are a more eco-friendly alternative to cut flowers that can be used and reused many times, lasting for at least a year and up to ten years. With minimal maintenance required, they make beautiful long-lasting centrepieces for your holiday party!
Use the promo code 'VLBB10' for 10% off for regular-priced preserved flowers. No minimum spend, limited to 1 redemption per account and valid till 25 Dec 2018.
