Wedding gifts that last a lifetime
A handwoven table runner or set of napkin rings is a wedding gift that stands entirely apart from anything on a gift list. Woven by hand from organic cotton on a floor loom, these pieces are made to be used at every meal - a quiet, daily presence in the couple's shared life. A large table runner (£140) makes a statement centrepiece. For a smaller budget, a set of napkin rings with napkins (from £40) is an elegant and practical choice. All pieces arrive gift-wrapped
Housewarming gifts for a new home
A housewarming gift should say something about the new home - not just fill a shelf. A handwoven tea towel (£35) is a beautifully practical choice, used every day and a pleasure each time. A handwoven wall hanging (£65) makes an immediate statement in any room, adding warmth and colour from the moment it goes up. For a more generous gift, a set of table mats and napkins (£100) brings a complete handwoven look to the dining table. Every piece is made from organic cotton and arrives in elegant gift packaging.
Frequently Asked Questions - Wedding and Housewarming Gifts
What makes a handwoven gift a good choice for a wedding?
A handwoven table runner, tea towel or set of napkin rings is a wedding gift that will be used every day - which is exactly what makes it meaningful. Unlike decorative items that end up stored away, a handwoven piece is part of the couple's daily life. Each item is made individually by Emma Baker in Wiltshire, from organic cotton, so it is also a genuinely one-of-a-kind gift with real provenance. Every piece arrives beautifully gift-wrapped.
What is a unique housewarming gift?
A handwoven wall hanging, tea towel or table runner is one of the most distinctive housewarming gifts you can give. These are pieces that go straight up or straight into use - adding warmth, colour and personality to a new home from day one. Emma's housewarming pieces are made from organic cotton, woven on a floor loom in Salisbury, and range from £35 for a tea towel to £140 for a large table runner.
Are the table runners and tea towels handwoven?
Yes - every piece in Emma's homeware collection is woven by hand on a traditional floor loom in her Wiltshire studio. The yarn is organic cotton throughout. Each item takes considerable time to weave and is entirely one of a kind - the slight variations in the weave are part of what makes a handwoven piece beautiful.
Why organic cotton?
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, making it better for the environment and for the people who grow it. For homeware that is used in the kitchen and at the dining table, organic cotton is also a natural, breathable and durable choice. Emma uses organic cotton throughout her homeware collection as a conscious decision about the materials she works with.
Do the gifts arrive wrapped?
Yes - all orders from Emma Baker Handwoven Textiles are beautifully presented in branded gift packaging as standard. The homeware pieces are wrapped and presented so that they are ready to give straight away, without any additional wrapping needed.
Do you deliver to the USA and Canada?
Yes - Emma delivers to the UK, USA and Canada. This makes her handwoven homeware gifts a popular choice for people buying for UK weddings or housewarmings from overseas, or for UK buyers sending a gift to friends and family in North America.
