Scott Iness Bramble Thistle Mug.

If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of visiting Scott Inness’ website, you don’t know what you’re missing.  From bags to tea towels, from mugs to cushions, it specialises in unique, high quality home and giftware all with a distinctive, quirky Scottish theme.

My latest treat is one of their beautiful fine bone china mugs, decorated with a vibrant Scottish thistle.  It is of the highest quality, when you hold it up to the light, you can see the shadow of your fingers through the china, a test that I always apply to a piece of china to assess the fineness.  What makes this cup perfect for a cappuccino or hot chocolate is its size.  It is not small as many china mugs are and has a robust handle which is very comfortable to hold.

A pair of these mugs would make a lovely engagement or anniversary present, and you’re sure to find a design you like.  Choose between a scottie dog, a highland cow, bagpipes, and many other iconic Scottish designs.  Priced at just £11.99 per individual mug, and available from Scott Inness’ website.  Go on, treat yourself!

Look out for new Christmas themed products, perfect for adding the finishing touches to your Christmas dinner table, or as a last minute stocking filler for someone special.

I adore these cushions, with their striking designs and Scottish themes, they are a perfect reminder of the beauty of Scotland.
