Yes, it’s Daisy Cheynes 6th Christmas Opening in Stockbridge. This Saturday the 5th November offers you a 10% discount on all purchases and a glass of bubbles from 12pm (or orange juice) as you browse … So what can you expect this year?
Well, we should start with Christmas decorations, fabulously concentrated in and and around and on their little Christmas trees. There are lots of lovely hanging silver decorations from Retreat, little felt people, fat chubby robins, snowglobes, wreaths, tea lights and lots more new surprises. And there’s crackers and stockings and advent calendars too.
Art is popular throughout the year, but never more so than at Christmas. And if you think that buying art for someone else can be a little bit fraught, then you’ll change your mind at Daisy’s. From the brilliance of Cassandra Harrison’s textile art and her new Edinburgh watercolours, through artist Morven Jones’s exquisite (and customisable for you) frames to Ross MacIntyre’s watercolour snow scenes of Edinburgh and his famous pub watercolours.
If you’re looking for jewellery that’s outside of the usual, then try the fusion of silver and Raku beads that form Edinburgh’s Silver Sparrow’s handmade creations. Or the very affordable but wonderful pewter jewellery from Welsh jeweller Koa. New this year is Edinburgh’s Maeberry, featuring fabulous silver stud earrings. And for the men, there are tweed and tartan cufflinks (and bow ties and hip flasks too).
With a cold winter being forecast, you’ll find plenty of warm cosiness with style this year from Scottish designer Powder. There are woolly scarves, snug gloves and, back by demand, long cosy socks.
And let’s not forget hugs ‘n’ rugs for babies and children. A soft toy is always an instant hit. Choose a traditional teddy, or a cute bunny or soft dog, or the cutest boy or girl tooth fairy. Or get something for mum and buy a soft blanket for baby’s cot.
For toiletries, there are the most fragrant and beautifully presented (organic – naturally) toiletries from Heyland & Whittle, which complement new organic soaps from Devon-based, Emma’s Soaps.
Finally, there’s home accessories of course, with aprons, tea towels and bags from Edinburgh designer Braw, beautiful black slate products for your table, and, new this year, instant cheese making kits.
There’s more at Daisy Cheynes for you this year but there’s just no space left to tell you about it, so you’ll just need to come along on Saturday 5th November and see for yourself – clutching a glass of fizz and saving yourself 10% on your Christmas shopping as you do.
