We started Handpicked to give people a trusted source of unusual and inspiring gift ideas. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a present well received and it’s our mission to make that simple. Our Expert Panel make sure we stay on track but we hope, with our blog, we’ll hear more from you too. Comment away!

Our buying team have trying to track down all the loveliest souvenirs with which to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee. Our favourite so far is this gorgeous jug by Jan Constantine. See all our ideas here.

Handpicked in the Stylist!

Our lovely receptionist waved excitedly as we walked into our building this morning. She was clutching The Stylist Magazine and showed us that Handpicked is mentioned on page 4!! It’s all down to Victoria, who is our friendly as pie customer services manager; she’s been trying her hand at PR and ends up that she landed us in The Stylist with Handpicked Collection’s pretty as a picture Flower Flask! Woo!

So pick up a copy if you see one lying around and see if you can spot us. There are some great things in there. I might have to get me a pair of those Jeepers Peepers Rose Tinted Glasses peaking in on the right hand side of the photo below. Yes please!
