'The Great Wave' paperweight, British Museum

As the retail world re-emerges from lockdown it’s great to see the variety of new and beautiful gift suggestions emerging from this creative powerhouse.

Crystal-domed paperweights reveal lavishly gorgeous designs from Matthew Williamson, the V&A, the British Museum and the Natural History Museum. Each one would add a touch of joyous colour and distinction to any desk, whether it is in office or home.

Another big win for home workers would be M&G’s new folding storage boxes. These premium new large-format folding boxes can be stored and transported flat and easily unfold into full shape with a magnetic closure and brass-effect label holder. Two of the boxes feature imagery from BBC Earth; the other two Edward Lear Birds from and V&A and Hokusai’s Wave from the BM.
