There is something special about a gift that comes from a real place. Not a warehouse, not a faraway factory, but a small workshop where someone printed it, checked it and packed it by hand. If you are looking for Christmas gifts made in Cornwall, that is exactly what we do.
Our coasters are printed to order in our workshop in Mount Hawke, a village on the north coast of Cornwall, a few miles from the cliffs and beaches that inspire a lot of our designs. This guide picks out a set for each type of person on your Christmas list.
Why choose a Cornish-made gift?
- It is made for them, not pulled off a shelf. Every set is printed when you order it.
- It supports a small business. Your order goes straight to a small team in Cornwall.
- It has a story. "This was made in a little workshop in Cornwall" is a nice thing to write in a card.
- It is useful. Coasters get used every day, so the gift is remembered every time a cup goes down.
For the one who misses the sea
For anyone who has holidayed in Cornwall, or wishes they lived here, a coastal set is the obvious choice. The Vintage Seashell Square Glass Coasters look like the pages of an old naturalist's field guide, in soft sand, cream and seafoam. The Beach Life Seashell Round Ceramic Coasters are a brighter, round ceramic version, and the Watercolour Seascape Ceramic Coasters have a gentle, painterly feel.
For the garden lover
Cornish hedgerows are full of colour for much of the year, and that is the mood of the Wildflower Meadow Watercolour Ceramic Coasters: glowing orange blossoms and dark branches against deep blue. They make a warm, cheerful gift for gardeners, allotment fans and anyone who brings flowers home every week.
For the walker and the countryside lover
The Watercolour Landscape Square Glass Coasters have soft, minimalist landscapes, and the Mountain Landscape Square Glass Coasters bring folk-art hills, rivers and pine trees. Both are glass with non-slip rubber feet. If you are choosing between glass and ceramic, our guide to ceramic vs glass coasters explains the differences.
For the home-proud friend
Marble-effect sets are a safe and stylish choice for anyone who loves their home. The Green Marble Ceramic Coasters suit houseplant-filled kitchens. The Cyan, Blue & Gold Marble Ceramic Coasters have a fresh, coastal look, with gold lines running through the blues. Our marble colourway guide will help you choose the right one.
For the dog or cat person
Pets are family, especially at Christmas. The Springer Spaniel Puppy Ceramic Coasters, Golden Retriever Puppy Ceramic Coasters and Cuddly Kitten Ceramic Coasters are soft watercolour designs that pet owners love. There are more ideas in our guide to gifts for dog and cat lovers.
For the modern-art fan
Not every Cornish gift has to be seaside. Cornwall has a long tradition of modern and abstract art, and some of our boldest designs follow that spirit. The Abstract Painterly Ceramic Coaster Set has cubist-style blocks of burnt orange, red, navy and pink. The Pollock-Style Abstract Ceramic Coasters are joyful splashes of colour, and the Jungle Giraffe Ceramic Coasters are playful and graphic.
For couples and newlyweds
Hearts never go out of fashion. The Where the Heart Is Red & White Heart Ceramic Coasters come in two colourways, red on white or white on red, and make a sweet gift for a couple's first Christmas in a new home.
From £18.99, and ready to wrap
Our coaster sets start from £18.99 for a set of four, and our designer sets of six are £25.99, which makes them an easy choice for teachers, neighbours, colleagues and Secret Santa. If you are shopping for an office swap, our Secret Santa gifts under £20 guide has more ideas.
Order early for Christmas
Because every set is made to order in Cornwall, the earlier you order, the more relaxed your December will be. Ordering in November means your gifts are ready well before the last Christmas post.
