If you are looking for a gift for a loved one this Christmas that will truly delight them by being unique and completely unexpected, you have to check out the range at Daisy’s Emporium.
This must-visit boutique shop showcases the unique home décor of popular designer Odette Gibson, who has long offered a wide variety of services to help clients transform their living spaces into havens of elegance and charm.
So, if you have a family member or friend who adores quirky and unusual designs, Daisy’s Emporium is a treasure trove of ideas, catering for a wide range of tastes – all except boring and traditional – and ranging from the affordable to the extravagant.
Here are some ideas to whet your appetite:
Deck the shelves – ornaments and curiosities
Ornaments are a great idea if you’re looking for an affordable gift that your friend or relative can display on their mantle or shelves. But why go for what everyone else is buying this year? Daisy’s Emporium does have some simple, pretty designs in the form of jugs and unusually-shaped glass display containers, for the more conservative family member. But, if you’re looking for something more flamboyant, what could beat a set of upright ducks sporting wellington boots? Or your loved one could mount a stag’s head on their dining room wall – made from brass and wearing oversized glasses that is – and a not-quite-matching giraffe coat hook in the hall. Alternatively, how about a ceramic dog? What could be more fun than a pug? If statues and busts are more your loved one’s thing, there are many with very different influences, from classical to African and Asian influenced. There’s even a rather surreal and comical bust reminiscent of Frankie Howard!
Light up the room
Lamps are always a good gift fallback. If you’re bored with all the standard LED offerings out there and fancy something more old-fashioned or retro, the Emporium has loads to choose from. From classical designs, such as bronze figures holding up lampshades with complementary motifs, to cutesy porcelain cherubs supporting a matching lampshade. There are also Victorian-esque lamps and art deco designs that would not look out of place in a BBC costume drama. There are some fun-pieces such as the pressed glass lamps with hot pink shades and the Spanish dancer porcelain lamp stand that looks rather like something your uncle brought back from holiday in the 1970s!
Alternatively, if your loved one likes a touch of class, what more could they ask for than their own chandelier? From crystal to brass and in sizes to suit pretty much any space, this really is a glassy gift.
Fill the walls – art for all
They say you should only give the gift of art if you know the taste of the recipient well. If you do, the huge range of art, both original and replicated, at Daisy’s Emporium is bound to have something your loved one will be thrilled to hang in pride of place. Choose from Pre-Raphaelite, ethnic, Victoriana, life sketches, plus works reminiscent of the old masters such as Turner. There is even something for children and the young-at-heart with a large collection of Beatrix Potter prints.
A big gift – stunning upcycled furniture
If you want a big and extra special treat for that extra special someone, Gibson is particularly known for her stunning ‘upcycled’ furniture, with each item a true one-of-a-kind piece. And there is definitely something for every room in the house. For the bedroom there are chests of drawers sporting classical angels hand-painted on the top, woodland fantasy illustrations or geometric designs. Or perhaps pale blue and gold matching bedside tables with a stylish feather motif. How about a Victorian washstand for the guest room with a checkered top? For the bathroom, an upcycled dresser, now apothecary closet, to house the man of the house’s potions and lotions. There is even a delightful soft peach fairytale drawer set, perfect for a small girl’s room or nursery!
These would all make wonderful presents. Just make sure your recipient has the space – and you have enough wrapping paper!
Whether you are looking for a quirky ornament or a heartfelt gift of art, a stylish lamp or a piece of statement furniture, there is plenty to choose from at Daisy’s Emporium. But the best part of all is that they specialise in meeting each customer’s needs and tastes. So, if they haven’t got exactly what you want in stock, they would be happy to source or even create whatever it is you are looking to give this Christmas. So, what are you waiting for?
