8 ways to make your home extra special

Now, more than ever, is the time to create an extra-special environment at home. Weeks spent in lockdown can have a wearying affect, and our daily rituals can become dull and tedious.

Give your home – and yourself – a lift, with a little something to take daily comforts to the next level. Here, we've rounded up 8 of our favourite lockdown buys right now.

FREE CHOCOLATE!! . . Well... almost anyway, considering our FREE shipping offer for domestic orders over $50 is still valid, saving you our (already very low) flat rate shipping fee of $9.95. This means our gorgeous new Chocolate & Cup sets are now a ridiculously good deal. The cups are from our Seconds Sale, slightly warped yet perfectly imperfect for your daily quarantine brew. Paired up with beautiful organic Fairtrade chocolate, handcrafted in the Blue Mountains by @winnowchocolates, these sets are sure the brighten someone's (or your own) day. . . FREE shipping offer for domestic orders over $50 ends Wednesday midnight, after which you will only pay our low flat rate of $9.95 and still receive free shipping for orders over $150. Shipping ceramics safely is expensive, we are too small-fry to receive amazing shipping deals like the big boys do but keeping our rates as low as possible is our way of making it easier and more accessible for you to shop online, and thank you for your support for original craftsmanship and small business 💙

Wrap your hands around a beautiful handcrafted ceramic mug for your next coffee break. We love this Chocolate and Cup set from Kim Wallace. Click here to buy.
