Do you ever get that feeling when you suddenly remember there's an upcoming birthday and you haven't got a clue what to get? It's the story of my life. I usually make and design something new which then becomes a nickynackynoo product. It's how my business started - making presents for my children to take to parties.

I genuinely think there's something for everyone at nickynackynoo; imaginative presents for all sorts of people, from a friend with a new baby to a sporty nephew, and from a teenage goddaughter to your glamorous granny. These treasures stand out from run-of-the-mill gifts and they'll stick around for longer than short-lived trends. Everything is made with love in my forest studio in East Sussex.
