Sophie's Choice

We have asked each of our sales team to pick their 4 favourite products for our Buyers Pick feature.  

Here is Sophie's Choice and why she loves them so much!


Jellycat Bunny - cause it's just so darn soft! Clearly a source of comfort for all ages


Picture - as an artist myself I love the character and the colours of this picture. The Artwork at MAP (often supporting local artists) always fills me with inspiration.


Five on Brexit Island - as flawed humans we often make rash decisions but this is the best decision made in 2016 apparently. When the world goes to shit we can at least try to see the funny side.
Notebook - I've always been a sucker for stationary and now I look no further. MAP has the best selection at reasonable prices that make the best gifts, for myself included.

Woodland Friends meet Retro Toys - 2 more Christmas Decoration Themes

With just over 4 weeks to go -  this week we are revealing not one but 2 more of our Christmas Decoration Looks.  

Winter wouldn't be the same without our little woodland friends all made from natural materials - wood, bristle and twigs sprinkled with shimmering snow & a dusting of glitter for extra magic.  
I love the tradition of buying a new bauble each year - I buy my kids a bauble (or 2) each year, our tree has no theme, but is an eclectic mix of memories which reflect their interests at the time!  The retro decorations hold a Nostalgic Charm and will be treasured for years!

Perfect for stockings, or even to hang on the tree.
All the products are well priced and are set to be the filler of choice for the stockings of all discerning beauty addicts this Christmas.

Kaleidescope - A colour & culture clash

Mind the Gap - Our ever popular collection of London Decorations is growing!  New this year we added the iconic London Underground Rondel,




Kaleidoscopethe second of our collections for Christmas 2016.  We love this clash of colour and culture - channelling India, Morocco and of course Mexico. 






Contemporary VintageSounds like a contradiction in terms right?  But when you see our theme working together in our feature shop window, we think you'll see what we mean.

Life is too short for boring jewellery

Dansk Smykkekunst have been around for over 40 years and has one of the biggest collections of fashion jewellery in Scandinavia.  I've often wondered what made this brand so popular as gifts and I think their designer Malene has the answer.

The brand new Autumn/Winter 2016 collection really is incredibly easy to wear and instantly stylish.  With affordable prices too, I think this is their best collection to date.  Browse the whole collection here.
