We spent last weekend at a cottage on the Dorset coast enjoying the sunshine, and gorgeous gift website www.dotcomgiftshop.com sent me the loveliest gardeny things to take – some dinky coloured jamjar tealights, fun spotty bunting and a recycled picnic mat – Just add cider and good company.
Get all this lovely gear from Dot Com Gift Shop’s brilliant homes and gardens section – there are a gazillion other pretty things, like paper lanterns, parsols and hammocks.
Hanging jamjar tea-light holders, £7.95. This gorgeous little foursome hang from tree branches or nestle in the grass and protect candles from wind in the evening.
Spotty Bunting, £12.95. Makes me think of summer fetes! Hang inside or out for a really cheerful look in a flash.
Lavender Recycled Acapulco Picnic Mat, £19.95. Spread these gorgeous mats, made from recycled materials in India, on the grass – they come in lots of pastel colours and they’re easy to clean, too.
