For our very first feature on #ShopSmall #ShopIndependent this Christmas I wanted to blog about Little Florence Art. I recently gave my husband a bespoke, personalised family print for his Birthday and it was such a hit that I had to share this unique and original gift idea with my readers. I hope you love it as much as me!

Read moreAvery Row Playmats
Avery Row make beautiful, luxury playmats. We have been using our Go Everywhere Mat since baby Violet was born and it has been super useful, this is what we love about it so far: It looks gorgeous - the soft print, colours and quality of the trims - we get lots of compliments on it. A pop of colour leather strap holds it all easily in place when you roll it up.
