Celebrating 25 Years of Talking Tables: A Memorable Anniversary Meal in London

Our Christmas Shopping Evening was filled with sparkle, sips and festive magic. From Prosecco and canapés to twinkling displays, here’s a look back at a night that made Chapel Walk glow.  

Summer is here, and at Cornucopia Home & Gift, we're turning up the colour dial with our most playful launch yet - the Vibrant Pop Art Summer Collection! Inspired by bold graphics, comic book nostalgia, and punchy colour palettes of classic Pop Art, this collection is all about injecting joy, personality, and energy into your home. What is Pop Art, and Why Do We Love It? Pop Art first exploded onto the scene in the 1950s and 60s, turning everyday objects, advertising, and comic strips into bold artistic statements. Think Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and that unmistakable mix of saturated colour and graphic fun. We’ve taken that iconic style and reimagined it through a summer lens — think zingy lemon yellows, electric pinks, sky blues, and juicy oranges. Whether you’re entertaining outdoors, refreshing your living space, or hunting for the perfect gift, our Pop Art-inspired range is here to make summer pop. What’s in the Collection? 🔴 Bold Wall ArtGive your gallery wall a dose of dopamine with our framed prints, featuring punchy palettes and bold typography. We’re obsessed with the Citrus Plate Framed Print - Large (£19.99) — a zesty statement piece that brings a fresh burst of colour to any room. These prints are instant mood boosters and great conversation starters.  🔵 Gifting, But Make It FunFrom quirky notebooks to Pop Art-style candles and neon-bright stationery, these pieces are perfect for birthday surprises, thank-you treats, or just because. The Bon Appétit Fish Ceramic Candle Holder (£21.99) is one of our favourites — bold, bright, and full of character. 🟢 Outdoor VibesEven your garden or balcony can get in on the action. Our vibrant plant pots, outdoor cushions, and colourful tableware bring Pop Art joy to alfresco gatherings. The Flowerpot Ladies (£26.00) are cheeky, full of personality, and an easy way to make your plant displays pop. 🟠 Colourful Touches for the EverydayAdd a dash of drama to your tablescape or shelf with striking accents like our 18cm Enamel Candle Holder (£17.99) — timeless enamel, with a colour pop twist. Designed to Stand Out This collection is for the maximalists, the colour lovers, and anyone ready to break up with beige. It’s unapologetically fun, joyfully loud, and perfect for injecting creative energy into your space this summer. Visit Us In-Store or Online Come and see the Vibrant Pop Art Summer Collection in all its bold glory — available now in-store and online. Whether you're treating yourself or looking for the perfect gift, this is your invitation to embrace colour, playfulness, and pure summer joy.

Welcome the season with a table full of charm, colour, and a sprinkle of springtime magic. Easter is one of our favourite times of year at Cornucopia – it’s a celebration of new beginnings, blooming gardens, and bringing loved ones together. Whether you’re hosting a family brunch or an afternoon tea with friends, a beautifully styled tablescape sets the tone for the whole day. Here are our favourite tips and pieces to help you create a stunning Easter tablescape that’s bursting with character and warmth. 🌼 1. Start with a Soft Palette Think pastels and fresh spring tones. A soft linen table runner or cloth in blush pink, pale blue or soft sage makes the perfect base. Layer in Emma Bridgewater napkins or our pastel cotton options for a fresh and cheerful look. 🐣 2. Bring in the Bunnies Nothing says Easter like a bunny or two! Our Jellycat bunnies make the sweetest centrepiece companions – perch a few amongst your table decorations or pop one in each place setting for a playful surprise. 🥚 3. Scatter Eggs and Nature-Inspired Touches Speckled decorative eggs, dainty nests, and ceramic chicks bring instant Easter charm. Add sprigs of faux blossom, pussy willow, or eucalyptus from our botanical range for a natural flourish. 🍽️ 4. Use Charming Tableware We love mixing and matching Emma Bridgewater plates for a layered look that feels both joyful and relaxed. Try dotty egg cups, floral mugs and Easter-themed side plates for a seasonal twist that still works year after year. 🕯️ 5. Add Candlelight and Texture Dot the table with small tealight holders or pastel taper candles for soft glow. Our handpicked glass votives and candlesticks add elegance without stealing the show. Rattan placemats or wooden chargers bring warmth and texture. 🧺 6. Little Favour Baskets Tiny woven baskets filled with mini eggs or a single chocolate treat make thoughtful little favours for each guest – and they look gorgeous tucked into your place settings. We often wrap ours with ribbon and a name tag for a personal touch. 💐 7. Centrepiece Magic You don’t need anything over-the-top. A low jug of daffodils, tulips, or hellebores in one of our seasonal vases can be all you need. Add height with cake stands layered with spring biscuits, or use a footed bowl to pile up dyed eggs. At Cornucopia, we believe every celebration should feel special, and your Easter table is the perfect place to get creative. Pop in to see our latest delights or browse online – we’re always happy to help you bring your ideas to life. Happy Easter from all of us!

Happy 1st of November, everyone! With Halloween now behind us, we were eager to dive straight into the Christmas spirit. This year, we decided to create our very first Gingerbread window display, and what an adventure it turned out to be! The Setup: A Sweet Challenge What began as a simple idea quickly evolved into a delightful whirlwind of creativity—and a bit of chaos. After four and a half hours of teamwork, we managed to craft a display bursting with whimsy, warmth, and the sweet aroma of gingerbread. We had grand visions of sugar-coated perfection, but let’s just say the journey had its fair share of ups and downs. The casualties? A few shattered ornaments, ripped tights (who knew crafting could be so perilous?), and one unfortunate angel who bravely lost her head from the top of the tree. She simply couldn’t handle the excitement! But in the end, everything came together in a way that was both charming and wonderfully imperfect. The Final Result: Festive Chaos Our window display has transformed into a feast for the eyes, filled with colourful sweets, frosted gingerbread, and all the joyful touches that make Christmas so magical. We embraced the playful spirit of the season, celebrating each quirky mishap along the way. After all, isn’t that what makes Christmas truly special? Come Visit Us! We invite you to come and see our festive chaos brought to life! Our window display is sure to spark joy and ignite your Christmas spirit. Whether you’re popping by for some festive treats or just to take in the sights, we promise it’s all in one piece now… mostly! 😉 Thank you for joining us on this delightful journey. Here’s to more Christmas fun, creativity, and a sprinkle of magic as we dive deeper into the season. We can’t wait to share more festive adventures with you all! Happy Christmas! ✨
