Thought I’d kick things off with the first in a series of present ideas for Christmas. But rather than just another bloody Christmas gift guide (yep, I can just about hear the multitude of groans), it’s really my way of catching up on Wee Finds, which I’ve been feverishly collecting over the past six months.
You’ll find that a lot of the stuff I like is UK-based, but my goal is to make Wee Birdy more global going forward. And as time goes by, I’ll endeavour to slip in more Australian products and designers.
Anyway, let me know what you think. Has anyone finished their Christmas shopping yet?
1. Sparrow pegs, designed in Australia, AU$15, from Design Dispensary (ships internationally).
2. Hand-made bone china birds nest plate, £20, by Donna Wilson (ships internationally).
3. Aubin & Wills swallow print silk underwire bra, £39, and silk briefs, £29, from Net-a-porter (this links to the UK store, so be sure to select your own country before purchasing).
4. Swallow necklace in turquoise mirror, £42, by Tatty Devine (ships internationally).
5. Bird in a Nest magentic paper clip holder, £5.95, from Muji (ships to mainland Great Britain, the EU and mainland United States and Canada).
6. Birdcage cushion by Sydney artist Binny Talib, AU$29, from Lark (ships internationally).
7. Bird black iron candlestick holder by Swedish illustrators Bengt & Lotta, £92, from SCP (ships to the UK and selected EU countries).
8. Bird bottle stopper, US$18, by Jonathan Adler (ships internationally).
9. Birdy walk scarf, £38, by Donna Wilson (ships internationally).
This is a brilliant Christmas shopping guide. I am definitely not groaning, please please do more!

They are all so sweet. I've got an extra soft spot for the muji birdy though.
