For the Hard-to-Buy-For

The Itawuli

Looking for a gift for the person on your list you don’t know too well? A gift for a coworker, the neighbour who fed your cat, your randomly drawn secret santa, your estranged auntie Margaret or that fuss-pot friend with particular taste.

You really can’t go wrong with the Itawuli. Everyone loves it. In fact, they love it so much that it’s our best-selling product, year after year. A hand towel or two gives anyone an easy bathroom upgrade – or go full tilt and spoil them with the best beach/bath towel on the block. They won’t be disappointed – trust us.

Final verdict: Crowd Pleaser.

For The Cook

The Chefs Apron

Let’s face it, cooking is a messy business – so let’s give the chef in your midst a hand. Whether you’re after a Christmas gift for your budding-baker boyfriend, or sister in charge of the Mince Pies, the Chef’s Apron is an easy win.

A good-looking, hard-wearing apron ready to handle it all.

Final verdict: 1000/10.

For The Kitchen Cowboy

The Vadoek

Who’s responsible for burning the Gammon this year? Don’t let it be you. Or if it is, here’s something that might help. Grab a hot tray from the oven, mop up that spilled champagne, dry the dishes and wipe the counter (you’re making a mess – but that’s a good sign of fun). This is a kitchen cloth that’ll conquer all.

Plus in a range of colourful checks, the Vadoek is as attractive as it is functional. Ditch the drab old lappies from yesteryear, and give the culinary queen or kitchen cowboy the tricks of the trade – a hard-wearing, long-lasting, durable dishcloth that’s damn good-looking too.

Final verdict: A Fine and Festive Gift for ‘Foodies’.

A Gift That Gives Back

Kids of Kurland Kikoi

For a good gift that feels good (and looks good), opt for the Kids of Kurland Kikoi.

The backstory? Every year, we invite a class of students from The Crags Primary School to the Mungo Mill for a tour and a workshop in textile design. Guided by our team, each student has the chance to design their own kikoi. We then share these designs with our friends, followers, and the wider community, inviting them to vote for their favourite. A single winning design is then woven to life on our looms. All proceeds from this kikoi go directly back to The Crags Primary, helping to fund a much-needed additional teacher at the school.

Final verdict: A Heartstring-Tugger.

The Best Gift for Your Mother-in-Law

The Linen Scarf

Buying a gift for your mother-in-law can feel, well, intimidating. Maybe she already has everything. Maybe she strictly “wants nothing”. Maybe you aren’t the best of pals… But you still want her to feel special, right? How about a Linen Scarf. Woven in small batches on antique shuttle looms, each scarf is one-of-a-kind. A timeless, beautiful piece, woven with the highest quality Italian-spun linen.

Final verdict: Easy to Impress.

For the Jetsetter

The South Kikoi

For the friend or family member who’s eternally vacationing, we know their Instagram posts from Greece give the feeling they’ve got it all. But here’s something they don’t have: a Mungo South Kikoi. A beautiful cotton cloth that’s THE BEST (and most versatile) travel companion. A quick-drying, roll-up-and-go towel/sarong/scarf/skirt/wrap/baby sling.

Final verdict: Sleighed it!

For the Kids

The Scout Towel

Ditch the plastic toys this year, and give the kids a gift that’ll get them outdoors and adventuring. The Scout Towel was designed for the next generation of rockpool finders, sea snorkellers and ocean conservationists. A vibrantly coloured, kid-size-friendly organic cotton beach towel. Colourful, quick drying and absorbent – it’s an easy 10/10.

Final verdict: They’ll Love Your For This.

For the Pet-Lover

The Fido Dog Blanket

Got a canine companion worthy of some Christmas cheer? Or a significant other closely bonded to their furry friend? Then the Fido Dog Blanket is the obvious choice.

Final verdict: It’s A Paw-fect Present.

For the Beach Bum

The Folly Beach Towel

Yes, we get it, you’re on the beach. Summer’s here, and so are your tan lines. There’s only one thing needed to complete the look: a Folly Beach Towel.

Final verdict: The Best Beach Towel on The Block.
