Amber's Gifting Guide

Hi there, I'm Amber 

I’ve been part of the Red Lobster Gallery team for almost five years now, and if there’s one thing I love, it’s helping people pick out the perfect gift (and maybe sneaking in a cheeky suggestion or two while I’m at it). Gifting can be a bit of a minefield — we all want to get it just right — but honestly, sometimes it’s the most unexpected, quirky gifts that end up being the real winners!

To make life a little easier, I’ve put together a small collection of fun, unique, and (if I may say so) fabulous gift ideas to help you on your way. So, whether you're shopping for him, or for her, let’s take the stress out of gifting and add a bit of fun to the process!

Gifts for Him: Because Boys Love Their Toys...

Finding a great gift for the guys doesn’t have to be hard work (or boring). Whether he's into fishing, loves quirky art, or appreciates a good bottle of wine, these gifts are guaranteed to impress.

1. Leather Cricket Ball Bottle Stopper
Does he love cricket and wine? Well, here’s a winning combination! This classy bottle stopper is sure to remind him of his best innings – even if it’s just opening a bottle of Merlot.

2. The Waiting Game Framed Print 
Is there anything more peaceful than a kingfisher patiently waiting on a fishing rod? This beautiful framed picture adds a touch of tranquility to any room – and is ideal for the man who loves both fishing and wildlife. Who knows, it might even inspire a day out on the lake!

3. Gorilla Wine Holder
What could be more perfect than a wine holder shaped like a gorilla? It’s big, it’s bold, and it’ll give him a chuckle every time he pours a glass. Plus, it’s a talking piece (especially after a glass or two)!

4. The ‘Angler’s Hamper’
This one’s for the fishing enthusiast who doesn’t just love the catch but enjoys the whole experience. Inside, you'll land:

  • A fishing leather hip flask for those chilly mornings by the water.
  • A mug with the cheeky slogan, ‘Size Does Matter’ — because, well, it doesn’t it?
  • A coaster declaring ‘Pollocks, I Hate Dry Days’, because no one wants to leave the water empty-handed.
  • A fish-shaped bottle opener, ensuring he’s never far from a refreshing drink!

5. Miniature Bronze Hippo Sculpture
Tiny but mighty, this charming bronze hippo will sit proudly on any desk or shelf, reminding him of the power of this gentle giant. It's a great conversation starter too – "Why a hippo?” 

6. XL Aluminium Cutlery Set 
Got a big appetite? Well, so does this wall art! It's the perfect oversized decor for the man who’s never met a portion he couldn't conquer. Plus, if you ever run out of cutlery… well, these might be a bit of a challenge!

Gifts for Her: A Little Luxury & A Lot of Fun

Ladies deserve the best, and these gifts are equal parts luxurious and playful. From cute trinkets to stunning art, here are some ideas that’ll make her feel extra special.

1. Miniature Bronze Hedgehog Sculpture
There’s something so irresistibly cute about a hedgehog! This delicate bronze sculpture is perfect for the nature lover or anyone who enjoys a little whimsy in their home décor. Small, sweet, and sure to steal her heart!

2. Cat Nap Framed Print 
Know a cat lover? This framed print of a ginger cat taking the most adorable nap will instantly brighten her day (and her walls). It’s a cozy, heartwarming reminder that it’s always okay to take a little snooze! 

3. Gold Trinket Pots 
Every girl needs a spot to keep her treasures safe, and these beautiful gold pots do just that — with style. Perfect for rings, earrings, and other little trinkets, these pots add a touch of glamour to any dressing table.

4. Flying Toucan Trio 
Why have one bird when you can have three? This set of ceramic toucans is designed to ‘fly’ across the wall, adding a splash of tropical fun to her space. It’s the perfect way to brighten up a dull room or bring a little exotic charm into the home.

5. Girls Just Want to Have Fun Hamper
This playful hamper is perfect for the woman who loves to laugh and doesn’t take life too seriously. Inside, you’ll find:

  • A mug that says ‘Gorgeous’ — because she is!
  • A coaster with the fun line ‘Gulls Just Wanna Have Fun’ (pun intended, of course).
  • A cheeky hanging sculpture of Berit, a topless lady on a swing — be warned she's a bit of a handful!

6. ‘I’ll Be There For You’ Limited Edition Print by Yvonne Coomber
For the art lover, this stunning print features a vibrant wildflower scene with a glorious sunset backdrop. It's not just a gift; it’s a beautiful reminder of nature’s wonders and the people who are always there when we need them most. A heartfelt gift that’s perfect for any occasion.
