This Oak Leaf design is available in four colours, each toning with a matching Kneelo® memory foam garden kneeler and knee pads if you fancy taking your gifting to the next level.

Perfect for mums who like to have a touch of the outdoors in the home, this set of mini vases is a gorgeous gift. These half-glazed little bud vases feature interesting textures and bring soft coastal colours to the home. They look lovely on shelf, windowsill or mantelpiece, and they make a beautiful table decoration. Floral arrangements in groups of small vases are very much on trend, and these vases look adorable with a few dainty stems of snowdrops, tête-à-tête daffodils, sweet peas, and so on, throughout the season. A gift to be used and loved.
