Style any Christmas dinner table with a festive tree candle from The Recycled Candle Company in Exeter. Each one is infused and scented with a winter spice fragrance. £5 each.
Plate up in Japanese-inspired style with this new range of beautifully crafted, ribbed homeware – available from Love Frankie in Totnes. Bowls £12.50, dinner plates £22 and mugs £10.
Sharpham’s Sparkling Wine Half Case is sure to make anyone smile. It includes: two bottles each of Sparkling Blanc 2014, Sparkling Pink 2016, and Sparkling Reserve Extra Brut NV. £163.
Sea Arch (based in Torquay) is a handy bottle to have in any drinks cupboard. Made from hand-harvested sea botanicals from the Devon coast, it tastes just like gin but with the alcohol removed. Great to have at Christmas parties for drivers. £24.99.
Make your fizz sing with one of these sparkling Champagne flutes, embellished with crystals from Swarovski for £22.50. Or, how about this proper party six-pack? Guests and friends can join in the fun with a set of prosecco glasses for £27. Both items are from Dartington Crystal.
