Only 7 weeks to go and most of us have yet to start our Christmas shopping. So if you are stuck for ideas for your loved ones, take a look at these:

- Wool striped hat and scarf, made in France, at £20 and £25 respectively. Also available in cream/navy and navy/cream. Perfect for the beach walk after that Christmas pudding !

- Mad about boats ? We now stock wooden yacht models starting from £30 for that fireplace mantel.

- Mum's kitchen missing that little coastal twist ? Opt for one of our metal trivets from £11.50. We love the starfish and our shoal of fish.

- After a quality jumper to last for years ? We recommend our pure wool tight knit Breton sweaters.  At £95, made in France, 100% authentic and stylish with its body hugging design and shoulder opening. Stocked in traditional plain navy blue and in various striped colours. Once you own one, you will come back in 15 years time to replace it. Promise!
