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.

Funpicked – Our New Very Silly Collection

Have you seen our new website? If you have received your Handpicked catalogue, you may have found another little surprise in the envelope. We launched Funpicked as Handpicked Collection’s naughty little sister. The idea is very simply, to make people laugh. We chose the products that started uncontrollable giggling throughout the office, and then put them all onto a very green website.

Some things are just plain silly, like the Ketchup Gun.

Some things are a little bit naughty, try a Mankini or a deck of Karma Sutra Playing Cards.

There are Boys’ Toys, I don’t know many men who wouldn’t find Golf on the Loo funny and surprisingly useful.
