Some of our most treasured items are often gifts from relatives or friends. There is a special association between the giver and the gift, especially when it’s something that the receiver really appreciates and it makes their day.  Often the most cherished gifts are the unexpected ones, the items we thought we didn’t necessarily need but turn out to be really useful or surprisingly beautiful.

A definition of ‘gift’ is “the transfer of something without the expectation of payment”.  It is an expression of love or friendship, and people receiving a gift receive a psychological boost which apparently releases endorphins to the brain producing feelings of happiness, pleasure and joy. 

There are so many reasons to give gifts: to celebrate Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings, Mothers and Fathers Day, Valentines Day, Christmas, even a special teacher gift or ‘Star Baker’ gift perhaps, or maybe just as a thank you. Giving a gift shows friendship, love and caring and often doesn’t need a reason.  So why wouldn’t we give a gift?

But what to give? And what is the perfect gift?

Sometimes the choices are overwhelming, other times we may see something and think, “that would be just perfect for someone we know”.

At Bean and Bemble we hope to design products that have supreme quality and beauty, making them a splendid gift choice as a present for others or a treat for yourself.  We want our items to be an exciting addition to the interior of your home.  Our fine art prints, cushions and lampshades are some such examples.
