Growing old is inevitable but growing up is optional!

Lolita:

Because a little fizz hurt no one – especially on their birthday – why not help your customers to raise a toast to the special occasion? Through our licensing agreement with Lolita, we’re proud to present a whole range of wine glasses, perfect for any milestone birthday. Make sure you stock them all so your customers are spoiled for choice when it comes to buying a birthday class to gift as a gorgeous present. Starting from under £20 and packaged in a lovely branded boxes they make the ideal gift for those who love to sit out in the garden with a cocktail or two on hot summer nights.

 

What’s great about this collection is that each glass from Lolita is wonderfully exclusive – no two glasses are identical, making them the perfect gift for your customers to give to someone special on their special day.

 

Every Lolita glass begins life as a sketch drawn by an artist.  The glasses are then mouth blown using traditional techniques and are hand-crafted.  As all of the glasses are made using this method, slight variations can occur in the thickness of the rim or the weight of the product – all adding to the charm that is a Lolita glass.

 

Willow Tree:

If the bright colours and super-bling nature of our Lolita collection isn’t quite what your customers are looking for, then perhaps the simple and understated nature of our Willow Tree range will better hit the mark.

 

We think this piece will make a stunning birthday gift. Named ‘Beautiful Wishes’, it features the figurine holding a posy of calla lilies – the majestic flowers symbolising all the beautiful wishes your customers send to those they love and care about, on their birthday and all year through. There are a whole range of flower girl figurines in our Willow Tree collection. All at just £21 each, they are perfect for Birthday’s as well as many other gift giving occasions. We also offer counter displayers to perfectly present Willow Tree figurines in your store, the displayers also help you save lots of space! Ask your Area Sales manager for more details.

 

Heartwood Creek by Jim Shore:

Heartwood Creek is loved worldwide, with the collection showcasing artist Jim Shore’s inimitable hand-carved style, which blends the traditional motifs of American and European folk art with his trademark quilt and rosemaling patterns.  His attention to detail creates stunning, heartfelt collectibles and home décor items – making them the perfect present for your customer to gift a loved one with on their birthday.

We particularly recommend Jim’s collection of Birthday Month Angels. With one angel for each month of the year, every figurine is featured holding a butterfly in her hands with a crystal birthstone embedded in its wings. The skirt of the angel is also unique in that each item features a flower of the month carefully carved into the fabric of the garment. An all size in-store displayer is also available for this collection.

 

Sharon Nowlan:

If figurines and collectables aren’t quite what your customers are looking for, why not help them to give a thoughtful gift that not only captures endearing sentiments to share with someone on their birthday, but also looks great in their home too. If your customer loves contemporary artwork our Sharon Nowlan collection will meet all of their needs perfectly!

The artist uses nature as inspiration for immortalising precious moments in life. Modern simplicity and neutral colours make this collection popular and suitable for Birthdays as well as many other occasions. With prices starting from £25 SRP there’s something to suit every budget.

 

Years later, Sharon is still using pebbles in her creations, carefully crafting them into framed scenes in a simple, yet beautiful style, that say a lot with as little as possible – the art speaks to the heart and is open to interpretation by each person admiring her work, making them a very attractive and highly personal gift.

GUND:

And finally, if your customers are buying for a child or just a big kid at heart, they’re going to want to get their paws on our brand new Corn collection from GUND. Known as America’s oldest and most prestigious soft toy company making plushes that give hugs which last a lifetime, this super-cute collection is bound to brighten up anyone’s birthday.

 

Taking inspiration from everyday animals and magically transforming them into mythical unicorns, the range features bright colours, unique textures, soft rainbow fabrics and shimmering horns. Take a look at the Dazzle Slothicorn, Dazzle Caticorn, Glitz Pandacorn and Cotton Candy Turquoise Llamacorn.
