The Secret Garden range is decorated with delicate floral designs that conjure the spirit of long, lazy summer days – perfect for romantic souls of any age. These delicate illustrations are featured across make-up accessories, such as compact mirrors and luxurious toiletry bags, with plenty of room for your favourite make-up and pampering products. There are also some lovely cushions for bedrooms or boudoirs and a fabulous pair of sleeping masks for beauty sleep. Girls-about-town will love the fluffy keyrings in three pastel shades. There’s even more in the range to turn a home into a palace, including mugs, moneybox jars and a range of candles and diffusers in delightful fragrances of Peony Blossom and Vanilla, Camomile Blush and Cashmere. With a range of stunning gift bags also available, the collection is sure to set hearts fluttering. Also ideal for summer is SIL’s Festival range, which strikes a laidback hippy pose with soft colours and groovy designs. Running through the collection are two colourways of peach and turquoise, carried across a range of giftable items. There are notebooks covered with swirling, psychedelic patterns inspired by the mystical East, and there are also photo frames in the same design. Some great heart-emblazoned cushions and fringed dreamcatchers for spiritual types are available, matched with fabulous fringed and tasselled keyrings. The Festival Fragrance sprays – available in Jasmine and Rose or Sweet Pea and Freesia – are a sweet-smelling and delightful addition to summer displays. As part of its efforts to stay ahead of the game, SIL is also bang on- trend its new range Pussycat. With a simple and sweet feline design across the collection, the range will capture hearts wherever it goes. Included is a creamer set, sugar bowl and milk jug in cream-coloured porcelain, which sits alongside a plate and a dinky teapot. As well as kitchenware, there are bedrooms sets, including trinket dish, storage jar and a compact mirror. Cat lovers of every age will adore the shelf unit which makes clever use of gold pussycat ears.
