It’s that time of year, dear readers, when we know you’re shopping {as we are!} for holiday gift ideas for your family, friends, and clients.
Gifts like the wonderful tiny pewter bells, above, made by second generation jeweller, Alan Hizme, that sell for $12.00 each.
To help you make the Christmas gift selection process easier, we’ve created our first ever
#HadleyCourtHoliday2015 *Top 10* Gift Guide!
We hope you enjoy what we’ve found for you, all made by individual artists, creators and companies working to make our world safer, prettier and more fun!
To save you time, click on each image in this post to be taken to the exact BUY link or CONTACT link.
Please note: these are not affiliate links and we were not paid to showcase any of these products.
We simply love them and hope you will, too. Enjoy!
Illustrator Mari Robeson of Mari Robeson Home { Pottery Barn licenses her work among others} created the charming, pretty and colorful 2016 tabletop calendar you see above.
{ If you’re a long time reader of Hadley Court, you know we love beautiful hand renderings like Mari’s and have written about them, often. Here’s one of those posts.}
Click on the image above to buy Mari’s calendar for $28.00 and make sure to follow Mari on Instagram, too, here.
Here on Hadley Court, we believe in Gracious Living, which means sending handwritten thank you notes.
Couture stationery designer Angel Robinson of New Orleans based stationer, Write Robinson, has created this gorgeous new line of thank you notes with vintage marbeilized papers.
Click on the image above to buy a box of 10 note cards and 10 envelopes from Angel’s company, for $30.00, in the color of your choice.
Another favorite find for you, dear readers, is The Safer Socket, sold everywhere.
Just plug it in to any outlet, and if there’s a fire hazard because someone left an appliance on and it’s overheating, the red light will go on and The Safety Socket shuts off the power!
How great is this for any of us, but especially for those who are 70+? Simply plug it in over any existing 3 prong outlet.
Click the image above to buy it for about $20.00 from your local retailer.
Austin,Texas headquartered textile artist Deborah Main, of Deborah Main Designs, and Montclair, New Jersey based author, color expert, and developer of the Color 911 IPhone app, Amy Wax, have teamed up together this holiday season for a co-promotion they’re calling: #ColorYourHolidays. Read about that and their giveaways for you, here.
We love how these two small business owners have teamed up to help each other, but we also love what they each sell, and we think you might, too.
Deborah’s small bespoke, gift boxed ornament pillows are available online for $80.00 each, here, and Amy’s Color 911 app, which helps you identify -very accurately- the colors in any image you see online -and then share it with anyone instantly- can be downloaded onto your IPhone for $3.99 here.
Who do you know that is a movie buff?
Our friends at retailer Madcap Cottage in High Point, North Carolina, Jason Oliver Nixon and John Loecke, take frequent trips to England for inspiration.
Last time they went, they found this exquisitely boxed and printed card game in Bath, England and imported it just in time for holiday gift giving.
We think this would make the perfect client gift for *that client that has everything*.
What do you think?
Click the image to buy *The Movie Buff Quiz* game on their site for $21.00 and free shipping!
We’ve been a fan of Boston based interior designer and artist Pamela Copeman’s exquisite oil paintings of interiors scenes for a long time.
The one above is a scene Pam painted of one of Atlanta based interior designer Suzanne Kasler’s bathroom designs.
Pam will paint custom commissions of your own rooms for you and also has several completed paintings on her site for you to choose from, as well.
Click the image above to contact Pam for pricing.
The *must have* cocktail table book of the year is Carolyne Roehm’s widely lauded *At Home In The Garden.*
We were fortunate to receive 2 review copies of this book pre-publication and reviewed it an earlier post. That post subsequently appeared on Ms. Roehm’s own site, here.
If there’s a gardener or a lover of beauty on your Christmas gift list, this book is a *must purchase.*
We encourage you to buy it from your local independent bookseller, but, if that’s not possible, please use Amazon’s SMILE program, where 5% of your purchase price gets donated to the charity of your choice.
It’s $60.00 and if you’ll click the image above, you can gift it and have it shipped for Christmas arrival on Amazon now.
We love how award winning Florida artist, Robin Maria Pedrero, has made it possible for you to own a print of her lovely original oil.
Even more, however, because she’s made it available on Fine Art America’s site, we love you can choose your own size, your own mat color, and your own frame and see how it will look BEFORE you purchase it.
We sized it out and framed it for $150.00, but the price you pay is up to you.
You can even have Robin’s art printed on a coffee mug for a teachers’ gift or a gift for a neighbor, for under 5.00.
Click the image above to find the perfect way for you to gift Robin’s angel to someone special on your list this year.
And, lastly, because we’re also all about Timeless Design + Family Traditons here on Hadley Court, we fell in love with this gift idea for you from our friends at Heirloomed Collections.
For $125.00, you can have your favorite family recipe printed on these 100% linen tea towels, and printed on a card for your recipe file or for framing.
The gift set includes a 4″x6″ heavy stock white recipe card and textured muslin cloth, each capturing the unique, custom family recipe that you submit. Each piece is hand lettered and designed by Atlanta-based artist Erica Loesing and the set comes in a muslin bag.
We could not love this more and we hope you will, too.
Click the image to start the personalization and customization process now, as this gift takes approx. 14 days to be completed.
