Sirkel Jewellery : Jan Bekker designs the most gorgeous jewellery — especially rings. If you’re putting a ring on it, Jan is the go-to designer for customised wedding rings. You can also buy the stunning Protea and other pre-made rings. www.sirkeljewellery.co.za -
Makers of Stuff : Besides their cloud light, we loved the Eat The Rich dinner platter — a gold and silver design that is stylish and amusing — and these thread posters that can be customised with your own saying. www.mosproducts.co.za -
Mat Blac : This stand did brilliantly. The simple, eloquent wallets make perfect presents, especially for men who appreciate good design. We’ve chosen the Micro for the gift guide as it retails for R220 and is therefore price-friendly too. www.matblac.com -
Spier Creative Block : Established and up-and-coming artists painted 20x20cm artworks, which were well curated, giving off a fresh and energetic feel. Retailng at R1 200, these are great presents for young couples starting to nest. Photo via Jeanetta Blignaut. www.spier.co.za -
Lucinda Mudge : While everyone oohed and ahhed over James Mudge’s beautiful furniture range, we were ogling his sister's odd but charming ceramic plates. The set would look great on any wall. If you see these anywhere, buy them immediately. lucindachips.wordpress.com -
Miss Meisie : A new venture by Jess Binns and Wendy Douglas, this curated store featured lots of funky items. We particularly liked the embroidered cushions (R700), especially this old-fashioned farm scene, finished off with a neon pink ribbon. www.hectorandbailey.com -
Honest Chocolate : A brilliant table gift for the fab parties you will be attending this season, a R50 slab of raw chocolate is both delicious and has various beautiful wrappers by indie artists. www.honestchocolate.co.za
