My first 2026 Christmas shopping guide, yes I know it’s not even Halloween yet 😆🎄
Seven colourful Christmas gift ideas for the people who are genuinely hard to buy for. The one who talks about their dog constantly, whoever has been volunteered to do the cooking, and the person whose house already looks lovely.
Everything here (except the teapot which is from the lovely Ceramic Inspirations ) is designed by me in Yorkshire, and made in Britain by small family manufacturers I can actually pick up the phone to.
One thing worth knowing. The cushions, lampshades and blankets are made by hand after you order, so they take a little longer than everything else. If one of those is on your list, order it sooner rather than later and it will be here in good time.
And one question while I have you. Seven ideas barely scratches the surface, because there is a whole shopful behind this. Tell me in the comments which bits you would like to see more of before Christmas. The cards? The art prints? The lampshades? The tea towels? Name it and I will show you properly.
Online at beanandbemble.com, or come and see it all at Bean and Bemble, 20 Market Street, Hebden Bridge. An independent shop absolutely full of colour, open right through November and December 🎅🏻🎄
