Santa’s not the only one making a list! We’ve been on the hunt for the loveliest Christmas gifts, and there are some seriously beautiful local designs right here in the South West.

From gorgeous jewellery and handmade pottery to cosy winter warmers and a little something for the pooch, these are our favourite finds from independent makers in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset. Happy shopping!

A Little Sparkle

You can never go wrong with a pretty piece of jewellery. Handmade in her Cornish studio, Nikki’s collections of handmade earrings, rings, pendants and necklaces are perfect for everyday wear or a little dressing up.

Our pick: Silver & Gold-Filled Hoop Earrings (£30)

Something in Leather

Wild Origin – Cornwall

For a little everyday luxury, we love the leather accessories from Wild Origin. Maker Victoria creates her pieces by hand, using beautiful quality leather and simple, gorgeous designs.

Our pick: Botanical Vegetable-Tanned Leather Purse (£25). We love the pretty leaf detail and clever interlocking design.

Something to hold

Earth To Ocean Ceramics – North Devon

We’re a sucker for a beautiful ceramic mug, so we simply love the simplicity of Jon’s small batch, wheel-thrown stoneware. Working from his North Devon studio, his glazes are inspired by the colours of the coast and countryside.

Our pick: Handmade Stoneware Coffee Mug (£25). Available in gorgeous shades including Ocean Blue, Rockpool and Exmoor.

A little pampering

The Dartmoor Skincare Company – Devon

We all love a pamper in the colder months, and natural skincare treats from The Dartmoor Skincare Company are gorgeous. Their products are handmade on Dartmoor and include soaps and gentle skincare essentials.

Our pick: Hand Rescue Gift Set (£26.80). A lovely pairing of nourishing hand and nail cream and lavender and rose geranium soap, all wrapped up in a smart gift box with satin ribbon.

Something for the Christmas Tree

Studio Lowen – Cornwall

We do love a pretty Christmas decoration, particularly one that’s a little different from the usual baubles. Studio Lowen is one of our favourite local makers for leather earrings, purses and accessories but this collection of baubles is something a bit different which we think make a fabulous addition to anyone’s Christmas tree.

Our pick: Hand-Painted Ceramic Baubles (£22 for three). A mix of round and teardrop shapes, individually hand-painted and finished with velvet ribbons.

Our pick: Gigantic Button Collection (£35). A lovely selection of Josh’s signature oversized chocolate buttons, with different flavours to discover.
