This Christmas, I bought these simple glass hanging frames and filled them with delicate pressed flowers from Columbia Road flower market.

The frames allow you to preserve flowers and foliage but the contents can be swapped for something more seasonal when spring comes around. Intricate leaves come in such wonderful shapes and they are also the quickest and easiest to press.

Oliver Bonas has a selection of gold and rose gold frames ranging from 2 x 2″ and 11 x 14″. The smallest would make beautiful flower petal gift tags or Christmas tree decorations.

If you’re also into authentic, foraged gift wrap- take a look at Isabella Thorsden’s natural beauties; the cinnamon sticks are a sweet little extra. Local Milk also has some minimalistic gift wrap inspiration.
