2. Philippine de Richemont art
We introduced you to Philippine a few weeks ago, with our profile on her and her beautiful work. Think to the future and start to build a collection of beautiful works from artists of our generation! You can see some of Philippine’s work for sale on her website, and you can also DM her for commissions. Prices start at $100.

3. Brave Collection
The company was set up to provide jobs for artisans in Cambodia and expose them to an international clientele. For the most part, the team is made of women from underprivileged backgrounds, who are able to work around caring for their children. They make simple but beautiful jewelry. Additionally, 10% of all sales go to helping combat human trafficking in the country. What’s not to like- supporting a great cause and wearing something beautiful and meaningful?! Check them out here.

4. Just Add Style
We discovered Just Add Style a few months ago, and are obsessed with their beautiful stationery collection. Emma Cowlam and Lisa Kew are the creative duo behind this lovely brand. They currently have three styles of correspondence cards, and the quality is fantastic!
They have also created a beautiful collection of silk scarves, and we’re hoping to get one in our stocking this year!
They are very generously offering a 15% discount, if you use the code FRIENDS15 at the checkout. To get delivery in time for Christmas, make sure that you order before the end of the week.

5. Mango & Cheese
Because we wouldn't want to forget your little ones, we have thought of the perfect label for children's gifts: Mango&Cheese. Inspired by wax fabrics, fun illustrations, and everyday objects from West Africa, this French and Swiss brand mixes African and European inspirations like no other. The collections are designed and produced in the founders' family workshop in France as well as created in partner studios in France and Senegal. Check out the cute (and fair trade!) monkey and giraffe rattles, the colorful baby sleeping bags and blankets, as well as the funky backpacks here. Make sure you use the promo code LIDO2020 before placing your order to get 15% off the entire website - it will be valid from December 15 to 25.

7. Lost Stock
We mentioned these guys to you over the summer. Since the beginning of the pandemic, so many retailers have cancelled their orders, leaving factory workers unpaid, and potentially tonnes of clothes ending up in landfill. Lost Stock are packing these abandoned orders into surprise boxes for sale. Each box contains three items of clothing, based on your size and style preferences. They have also started making boxes with kids’ clothes. Every purchase supports a garment worker and their family for a week. They are shipping to more and more countries, but if your home isn’t yet one of them you can register your interest and be notified when they do.
This gift can potentially be a lot of fun, but also a great way to give back. Check out their website for more info.
