Cressida Jamieson’s Bespoke Hand Embroidery
PR girl-turned-embroiderer, Cressida Jamieson, is a name to bookmark if you’re after a heartfelt newborn gift or first birthday present. She hand-embroiders the most charming and delicate motifs onto a variety of clothing and other fabric items, from babygrows to linen napkins, and is best known for her pretty botanical-inspired designs.
You can make a gift extra special by requesting a commission from Cressida, for example, a new baby’s name scripted underneath a flower related to the month they were born or a love heart cocooned with an important date. It’s also a great option if you want to add a sweet personalised message to a flower girl or page boy outfit, or to add a finishing flourish to a baby’s christening gown.
Whether you’re shopping for your own family or are on the lookout for a truly unique gift, Cressida’s heartfelt designs are hard to beat.

Beige Stories
These are quite possibly the cutest party hats we’ve ever seen. Handmade by British, family-run company, Beige Stories, these are keepsakes rather than throwaway party hats and can be used by your little one every birthday (until they refuse!) and be displayed as a sweet memento in a children’s bedroom or nursery. They also make the perfect accessory for getting a picture you’ll treasure forever.
Made from the most beautiful linen in soft pastel shades or cute gingham print, they are hand embroidered with the birthday girl or boys’ name and finished off with a fuzzy pom pom and sweet ric rac trim.
