NIAMH PHILLIPS

The colour combinations and patterns on each of the vases and mugs are unique, as they are handmade by Niamh Phillips using high fired porcelain. The inside of each vase and mug is glazed, and the outside is sanded to give them a smooth satin surface. The mugs are also dishwasher and microwave safe.

FLORENCE MYTUM

Florence Mytum's ceramics balance quirkiness and colourfulness with a distinct elegance, making them perfect for any coffee table or display. Each piece of homeware is entirely handmade and fired twice in the kiln at up to 1240°C, making each piece unique.

The iconic Wiggle Mug brings a playful energy whilst also being ergonomic to hold, and is available in mint green and orange. The Wavy Candelabra makes for the perfect centrepiece and is available in fashionable chartreuse and pink. The Wiggle Handle Vase in pink provides a joyful and unique way to hold your favourite flowers.

BICO PAPIER

BICO PAPIER is a colourful stationery brand that celebrates individuality, style, and the pure joy of self-expression through polished paper goods. Their A5 notebooks are simultaneously vibrant and elegant, with hardback covers crafted in fine cotton and gold foiling. The notebooks contain 180 lined pages of smooth 120gsm ivory paper, which can be decoorated using the sheet of fun stickers included with the notebook. These gorgeous notebooks are available in bright orange and dark green options at not just a shop.

BAJAN BEAUTY BALMS

Bajan Beauty Balms create luxury multi-purpose balms which can be used for a wide range of skincare needs. The founder, Sherron H Culver, was inspired by her childhood memories of her Barbadian mother's skincare and grooming practices and hopes to honour the skin care traditions of the African diaspora through this collection. The beauty balms are created with a sustainable ethos, with 90% of the ingredients used being organic, ethically and locally sourced.  

The balms will be available in three different scents at not just a shop: Spring Awakening, a fresh scent that evokes memories of nature through a blend of geranium, mandarin, sweet orange and ylang ylang; Lavender Fields, which centres around the relaxing and familiar scent of lavender; and Caribbean Spice, a nostalgic combination of vanilla, nutmeg, sweet orange and cedarwood that draws on fond memories from the Sherron’s childhood.

ELLIS BENJI BERTRAM

Designed and die-cut by Ellis Benji Bertram, these badges feature a cute cat theme and eye-catching rainbow holographic film. They're a fun way to express your identity and add a sparkle to your day as the badges are easily attached to bags, clothes and any other accessory you can think of.

These fun, glimmering badges are available in five different options at not just a shop: ‘any pronoun’, ‘ask my pronoun’, ‘she/her’, ‘he/him’, and ‘they/them’.

ANNA MELEGH

Anna Melegh’s greeting cards are full of character and comedy, whether that's wishing someone good luck with their new home or sending birthday wishes. Anna Melegh's art is unique and memorable, whether it's an illustration of a grumpy marmot with a birthday hat or a hermit crab with its new home on its shell.

Each card is A6-sized and blank inside for your own message. All the cards are printed in the UK on uncoated FSC-certified recycled card to keep the collection sustainable.

BEATRICE MAIKSTENAITE

Tired of having to buy a new calendar each year? Designer Beatrice Maikstenaite has a solution: a perpetual calendar which can be used forever. Featuring a modern, minimal design the calendars are handmade in London using laser and CNC cutting methods. Created with recycled acrylics and plywood, these calendars are a stylish and sustainable solution to having to buy  new calendar each year.

GOLDEN HORN JEWELLERY

Golden Horn Jewellery’s rings are bold and sleek statement pieces, each ring proclaiming a loud and inspiring manifesto, available either with the words "JOY” or “DREAM”. Each ring is handcrafted from high-quality 925 sterling silver in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.

Duygu Kacar is the creative force behind these rings, and she often finds inspiration in the beauty of nature, utilises sustainable materials and tells a unique story that draws on a fusion between her Turkish heritage and London's contemporary magic
