Friends of Daphne's: The Gift Guides
Madalynne Clifton
When creating our gift guides, we quickly realised there was no one better to curate them than those within our circle, the Friends of Daphne’s. The customers, creatives and business owners who have supported us along the way. A celebration of shared taste, thoughtful gifting, and the wonderful community we feel endlessly grateful to have built.
Our second Gift Guide has been curated by the co founder of boutique jewellery studio Kate and Kole, Madalynne Clifton. A celebrated name in the world of jewellery, Kate and Kole has just celebrated ten years in business, an incredible achievement made all the more special by the timeless beauty of their pieces.
Maddy has been such a generous and genuine supporter of Daphne’s from the very beginning, including purchasing nine Mini Basket Bags to gift to her wedding party. Since then she has supported Daphne’s with such warmth and generosity through every share and kind mention. Her unprompted kindness and encouragement have meant more than she knows.
With impeccable taste and a beautiful eye for detail, it is a joy to share the lovely Maddy’s Gift Guide with you.
"This little basket is such a sweet, unique piece. It fits exactly what you need when you’re popping out, and it’s become one of my favourite easy grab-and-go bags. I gifted it to each of my 9(!!!) bridesmaids on my wedding day, and the fact they all still use theirs makes me so happy."
2. Rustic Jumbo Round Christmas Bell
"I don’t usually decorate my tree as I am such a minimalist but I spotted these and they might be the one ornament I can actually get behind."
"This one has basically become an extension of me in mum mode. I keep it stocked with everything I need when I’m out with my daughter, Camí. It’s effortless to grab on the way out, looks chic hanging at home, and is the nicest upgrade from a traditional baby bag."
"I always have fresh blooms at home, and I’m forever trimming stems with old kitchen scissors as I find gardening scissors so bulky but I love how refined these ones are, so they are officially on my Christmas list this year as a necessity."
"I love having a few standout pieces on my kitchen bench, and this one is perfect. It’s beautifully made, a little unexpected, and instantly elevates the whole space."
And what's on our Wishlist from Kate and Kole?
- The Awa Hoops: I love this (literal) twist on a classic hoop whilst still being a timeless piece.
- The Lace Ring: sneaking in a second piece in hopes that my partner (or Santa) sees this.
Shop these and more absolutely divine pieces from Kate and Kole on their website and find Maddy on instagram.
