Paved With Gold’s indy gift guide - give good!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And what a year!

We wanted to take the opportunity to share about some of the amazing independent brands we’ve worked with in 2020. If you’re looking to give beautiful items that are fairly and sustainably made with care and love, then we can definitely vouch for this excellent bunch.

Paper Houses Design

A cosy collection of homeware and textiles that’ll definitely brighten up anyone’s home. Paper Houses designer (and all round incredible human being), Mhairi, is also delivering kits and workshops so people can get creative at home. Perfect if you want to give something you’ve made or a gift for more crafty friends and relatives.

Wild and Kind

Trudi and Rachel at Wild and Kind are building such a gorgeous business. They are printers first and foremost, specialising in garment printing, embroidery and riso-printing. They’ve just launched a monthly subscription box filled with printed goodies from their favourite artists. All Wild and Kind’s proceeds go towards supporting womxn in the east end of Glasgow.

Irregular Sleep Pattern

Possibly our brightest collaboration this year! Irregular Sleep Pattern have made beautifully clashing bold bedding and pyjama suits to brighten up winter hibernation. We thoroughly recommend the pyjamas for both indoor AND outdoor attire.

FUZL Studio

Furniture that’s craft-engineered to last a lifetime. Embracing sustainability and responsibility, their thoughtful designs run through everything they do. From cleverly designed furniture that require no tools, screws or glue to assemble, through to their packaging made completely from recycled cardboard.

Makers Cabinet

The team at Makers Cabinet make original drawing tools that are built to be cherished and used for lifetimes. They make a perfect gift for artists, designers and stationery lovers.

Happy gift giving!
