Pet Canvas Portraits By Mr & MrsPaw
What better gift is there for a pet lover to receive than a Pet Custom Portrait? This, I feel, is the ultimate gift for pet owners to cherish for many, many years to come. Simply upload a photo of the gift recipient’s precious pet and the talented artists at Mr & MrsPaw will do the rest. What I love about these portraits are the costumes in various themes you can choose from, which include:
- Renaissance
- TV & Film
- Jobs & Hobbies
- Asian Style
Also available are:
- Throw Cushions
- Mugs
- Phone cases
- Standing Canvas
If you have multiple pets they can all be included in one canvas together. There are also three different frame sizes to choose from to suit your budget. Before printing commences you will be able to review your artwork to make sure you are happy with it.

This unique one-of-a-kind print is the perfect gift for either yourself or someone special.
Everlasting Flowers By Fleur Du Luxe
Who doesn’t like to receive a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers? They really do make the ideal gift for all occasions. My only problem with fresh flowers is they die after one week or so. So, how about flowers that bloom for over a year? Fleur du Luxe have achieved this! In fact, their beautiful flowers can last for several years. I have a dedicated blog post that I wrote in April 2020 about these incredible everlasting flowers, including my own everlasting roses that you can read here – and my roses are still going strong today!
Fleur Du Luxe has a range of flowers to choose from including:
- Everlasting Roses
- Everlasting Peonies
- Everlasting Hydrangeas
- Dried Flowers
- Gold Collection
They have various boxes and pots to choose from that your chosen flowers stay in. There are also various price points to suit everyone’s budget.
One of the best things about these flowers (other than them lasting for years!) is they are extremely low maintenance. They never need to be watered, as they are treated with a special oil to make them long-lasting.
These special flowers make the perfect gift for a flower lover!

Candles and Wax Melts By Essence of Harris
Although candles and wax melts are not unique gift ideas, Essence of Harris is a unique family-run candle-making business located on the Isle of Harris, Western Isles, Scotland. The Isle of Harris is at the heart of everything Essence of Harris creates – which is reflected in the unique names of their permanent classic fragrance collection. Each of these fragrances is inspired by and named after beautiful local beaches on the island.
- Horgabost – Lemongrass and Ginger
- Huisinis – Pink Pomelo
- Losgaintir – Coconut and Bergamot
- Seilebost – Black Pomegranate
Essence of Harris not only hand-pour soy candles and wax melts, but they also hand-make room diffusers, bath & body products and hand sanitisers.
My favourite candle and wax melt is “Frosted Cranberry” from their Festive Collection. Frosted Cranberry is a beautiful mix of Cranberry (Top note), Orange (heart note), and Cinnamon (base note). This natural soy candle has a burn time of approximately 40 hours, and it burns down so evenly with no tunnelling.
With Christmas right around the corner, a candle or wax melt from their Festive Collection would make a festive dream for a fragrance lover. The Festive Collection also contains “Spiced Plum” fragranced candles and wax melts too. I am yet to try this fragrance but I am sure it smells beautiful too.
If you are ever in Scotland, Essence of Harris has two shops: the flagship store in Tarbert, Isle of Harris, and a second shop in the iconic Princes Square in the heart of Glasgow.
