It’s the time of year for wrapping parcels in brown paper, for thoughtful notes, and for the kind of craftsmanship that celebrates the season of cosy.

Earthy tones, woody scents, sweet syrups, rustic textures, a good book and anything that keeps you warm, all make for perfect autumn gifts, even better when the item is artisan-made.

You only need go on a country walk to find natural flourishes to adorn your wrapped gift, with acorns, dried grasses, berries and pressed leaves all easily tied on with twine.

Here’s some of my favourite autumn gift ideas, crafted by artisan brands we love.
