In Seasonal

If we wrote a blog just on how many local crafters, makers and artisans there are on the Isle of Man that produce truly unique products for Christmas (and beyond) - then the list would go on and on.

So to give you just a small flavour of what’s on offer (and to also give you some inspiration for those stocking-fillers!) LoveIOM has pulled together a selection of inspirational islanders creating bespoke and handmade products on the Isle of Man.

Pig Loves to Paint

Nothing but love and care is put into the beautiful handmade gifts that ‘Pigs Loves to Paint’ produce. South African born artist, Nicole de Villiers, takes inspiration from her environment and puts it into the products that she creates through her art and jewellery business.

Nicole creates a whole host of beautiful gifts, perfect for a present this Christmas. From festive earrings to watercolour paintings (while also hosting a range of creative workshops), Pigs Loves to Paint offer something for everyone that wants to get creative or support local this Christmas.

Wolly Made

Beautiful hand-dyed, re-worked and recycled fabrics crafted into hand-made gifts make up the Wolly Made brand. Mainly using Devore fabric for her creations, Molly Wade (the brains behind Wolly Made) creates her own unique style through a cross-dying process that gives each of her products its own identity. A perfect stocking-filler for Christmas.
