I have featured a few gift guides on my blog over the past year or so and they seem to be very popular. So I decided to do a summer gift guide.

I am featuring just two brands this time as I want to focus on what they sell.

The first brand I am featuring was also on another gift guide of mine and is becoming a firm favourite in my household. The brand is Made by Hove which is a beautiful shop full of handmade goodness.

There are so many different items all handmade to the highest quality that you can gift to the whole family. I was sent the mug cosy, an egg cup cosy, lemon coaster, confetti, handmade card and a beautiful garland. Everything is packaged beautifully and you really do feel like you are opening something special when you receive a parcel from Made in Hove.

The confetti is a lovely touch you could add to a gift or a card, or you could use it in scrapbooking or for a journal.

The hot air balloon garland would look so pretty in a children’s bedroom I think. The fabric hearts and pom poms really do look beautiful and the colours compliment each other and would make a lovely centre piece.

One of my favourite items was this mug cosy and lemon coaster. So well made and handmade is always nicer than shop bought, as you know that love and care has gone into them. All reasonably priced too so there is something for everyone in every budget.

You can find Made in Hove here – Etsy Give the shop a like and have fun browsing all the beautiful items.

Another brand I would like to showcase on here is Earthy Nail Polish. These nail polishes are vegan and natural. The tops are bamboo and the colours are beautiful. I was sent this pack and I used the natural one and it went on lovely and has lasted a long time, with no chips so far. I love how sustainable this brand is and they have a range of colours to suit everyone. If you are environmentally aware then this brand is for you. You can read how sustainable they are here. At the moment there is free shipping for orders over £30.
