Summer is my favourite time of year: hot weather, holidays, and lots of catch-ups with friends and family. This year I’m fortunate enough to live in a house with a nice big deck so my Christmas wishlist pretty much revolves around sprucing up my deck and making it a lovely outdoor space to live in over summer! So dearest Santa, I would love if you could start by sending me these hand-woven bamboo tealight holders and some recycled paper bowls both from Oxfam. I’d be oh so grateful for a One Colour fair trade woven woollen throw for the chillier nights, and a Lhasa outdoor rug made from 100% recycled polypropylene. I’ll need somewhere for my friends to sit so I’m thinking some of these Mi So Covered handmade recycled fabric milk crate covers will be super helpful and, for the lazy days, what could be better than a fair trade Heavenly Hammock to sleep off the Christmas lunch?
Dear Santa, from Sally
