Gift Voucher for Baskets

from £75.00

Give someone a voucher towards a handmade willow basket of their choice, from willow grown and woven by me in Newenden: a basket from the shop, one of my designs made to order, or a commission made just for them. No two are the same, as every willow rod is different, and each one is made to be used for years.

Vouchers are sent by email, straight to them or to you, with your own short message included. They’re valid for one year from the date of purchase, and can be used on a workshop too.

How Gift Vouchers Work

  • Vouchers are sent by email. At checkout, add the name and email address of the person it’s for, or choose to send it to yourself if you’d rather print it and give it by hand. You can add your name and a short message (up to 80 characters).

    Would you like something more special to give? Email me your order number and your message, and I’ll make it into a voucher with photos of my baskets and workshops, ready to print, within 3 working days. In a hurry? Put URGENT in the subject and I’ll send it within 24 hours.

    Buying for Christmas? Order by 22 December and I’ll send your personalised voucher by 24 December.

  • Enter the code at checkout, on any basket or workshop.

    • If the order comes to more than the voucher, pay the rest by card.

    • If it comes to less, the balance stays on the code for next time, and it's shown on the receipt.

    They’re valid for one year from the date of purchase, and can be used on a workshop too.

Made with a Respect for the Material

Give every basketmaker the same project and they'll each finish a very different basket. I like to work very neatly, but I also like things to be natural. If a willow rod isn't quite what you'd expect, and it doesn't affect the integrity of the rod, I make a feature of it.

The connection between the material, me as the maker, and you as the person who will love and use it for many years is one of the main reasons I'm a full-time basketmaker.
