Hand Painted Ceramic Tiles by Benaya Art Ceramics - Useful with a touch of class

Benaya Art Ceramic Tiles

An Unusual Hand Painted Gift from Benaya Art Ceramics and Out of the Blue to fill that empty space on the wall.

If you haven’t had a look at them already then I would like to introduce you to our range of Benaya Art Ceramic Tiles.  These hand painted ceramic tiles come in different shapes and sizes and look lovely up on the wall as the colours are astounding and the detail exquisite.

The bestselling tile recently in our shop Out of the Blue is the one called Sunlight.  This is a tile with yellow daffodils with a blue sky behind.  This is one of my favourites also as daffodils represent spring to me and that Easter is on its way after a long winter.

The tiles are put under different categories: In the Garden, A Day at the Beach, Animal Themed, Indulgence and The Old World and range from picture of poppies to lions, beach huts to wine bottles. 

A stunning gift all year round with these stunning Benaya Art Ceramic Tiles.

Animal Paperweights - Useful - An exciting twist on an old classic

Paper weights by definition are small heavy object to hold papers down.  Now we all know about the round heavy glass paperweights, which have been around for a long time but I would like to introduce to you paperweights with a difference:

Dora Animal Paperweights

Now Dora Designs are well known for their doorstops, which I will be covering at some point in the future, but the paperweights are often overlooked.

 We have a selection of animal paperweight from dogs and cats to owls and hedgehog, which all do a competent job of keeping all of those papers in order.   If nothing else they are worth having a look at just to see the different characters that are available.

Weighted with sand with an approximate weight of 200grams, hand embroidered detail and scented with lavender perfume, these animal paperweights make an ideal gift for the home or office or just as a novelty but useful gift that comes in a gift box.

Many of us may feel that paperweights are old fashioned and not used anymore but a paperweight always comes in handy whether it is to keep the post together or to make sure those important documents do not fly away when the window is open.

These paperweights can also be used as small doorstops, which many people do not realise, this is dependant of course on the weight of the door in question but these paperweights will hold open any light weight doors.

At www.a-choice-of-gifts.co.uk we are here to help so if you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to post a comment or contact us through our website.

Useful or not useful? That is the Question.



Emma Bridgewater Daffodil
Half Pint Mug


My family and I have been running our Gift Shop Out of the Blue in Devon for nearly 4 years now and the question arises more and more as to whether our customers are looking for useful gifts or whether they are just looking for novelty gift items that may not be useful but are entertaining and would make the gift receiver smile anyway.

In Out of the Blue and at www.a-choice-of-gifts.co.uk we try and cater for all types of gifts from Emma Bridgewater pottery and Doorstops (useful) to Funny/Philosophical Signs and Jellycat toys (many would say not so useful).

Be Nice or Leave
Metal Sign

Over the next few posts I will be presenting to you alternately what we believe to be useful gifts that we sell, which can also have the novelty factor and those gifts that customers believe to be not so useful but which I will try to show can also be useful in their own ways.


Lord Oliver Wise Paperweight

 

Coming soon I will start with animal paperwights so watch this space.

I Smile Because I Have Absolutely No Idea What's Going On!!

How true?

How many of us would agree with this saying at one point or another in our lives if not constantly that we smile just because we really do have absolutely no idea what's going on, either at work or in a social situation.  This certainly applies to me sometimes, so answer is to always smile.

Not surprisingly this particular retro hanging sign runs out the quickest in our shop and gets people to stop and look in our window bringing a smile to a lot of faces reminding them of someone they know or thinking about themselves.

At http://www.a-choice-of-gifts.co.uk/ we have a collection of retro signs available from the above mentioned to 'I don't repeat Gossip so listen carefully' so please take a look and see what other sayings there are available.  There might be one just right for you or someone you know.

What other good sayings have you heard recently?
