Riedesigned Squirrel Pocket Mirror

Valerie Harrison is the artist and owner of Etsy and Ebay shop Redesigned.  She is inspired by nature and the countryside and her illustrations are very realistic.  I have purchased several items from her as gifts and they are always well recieved as her designs are not twee or run of the mill.  This 58mm mirror comes in a little tartan bag and is £3.95 plus £1.95 P&P.  I bought this as I needed a gift, preferably squirrel themed, which would be both useful and fit through a letterbox. The illustration is a red squirrel with a cheeky glint in his eye.  The mirror itself magnifies quite well.



I purchased this item myself and it is available from:

Gisela Graham Christmas Ornaments

My family have a Christmas tradition whereby each year we take it in turns to select some Christmas decorations from Selfridges, Harrods or Liberty London. Previous years have included cats, santas elves and reindeer. This year was my turn and these are the ones I selected. All my Gisela Graham Christmas ornaments were purchased at Liberty London, apart from the gingerbread house and gingerbread man which I purchased via EBay UK. They are all around the same height - 7.5cm and they are made out of resin apart from the glittery plastic peacock. They cost between £3.95 - £6.95 each (prices and links below). They hang beautifully and don't twizzle around so they can't be seen properly, or they can be used as ornaments. I have taken the cord off the squirrel and blue tit as they are sat in the window. They are definitely ntly instagrammable pieces - I used the gingerbread ornaments when photographing/reviewing my Too Faced gingerbread man Lipstick. All of the ornaments are gorgeous and well made and certainly too cute just to be put out at Christmas time. My favourite is the squirrel - he has such a cheeky gleam in his eye as he clutches his snack!
