Why British Boxers’ Bamboo Pyjamas Are a Must Have

Recently, I was approached by the brand British Boxers to review their new bamboo range. Here is what I thought.



What's Special About Bamboo?

If you haven’t tried bamboo fabric yet, you’re in for a treat. Bamboo’s rise in clothing and sleepwear isn’t just hype — there are several genuinely impressive qualities behind it.

1. Unmatched Softness & Breathability

Bamboo fabric — especially bamboo jersey used in these pyjamas — is exceptionally soft and smooth against the skin. It’s often compared to silk or high-grade cotton in terms of feel, yet it’s lighter and more breathable. That means you get cosy warmth without the heaviness. British Boxers

2. Temperature Regulation & Moisture Control

One of the biggest everyday benefits of bamboo nightwear is how well it handles body temperature and moisture. Bamboo fabric naturally breathes and wicks moisture away from the skin, helping you stay cool on warm nights and comfortably warm when it’s chillier. This property is great for hot sleepers, night sweats, or anyone who wakes up feeling clammy. Particularly good for ladies like me who are going through the perimenopause and menopause! 

3. Gentle on Sensitive Skin

Thanks to its smooth fibres and hypoallergenic nature, bamboo is a great choice for sensitive skin. The fabric tends to be less irritating and can help reduce itching and discomfort — perfect for people who find traditional materials scratchy or abrasive. 

4. Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Credentials

Bamboo is fast-growing, doesn’t need pesticides, and uses far less water than many conventional crops like cotton. Choosing bamboo isn’t just about comfort — it’s a way of making your wardrobe more thoughtful, with planet-friendly choices. 

So, Just Who are British Boxers?

British Boxers started humbly — selling boxer shorts on Sunday markets and growing into one of the UK’s best-loved underwear and nightwear brands. Although still proudly independent, the company has spent over a decade refining its craft, designing all its pieces in the UK and making them with a focus on quality and longevity. Their range now spans underwear, socks, loungewear, dressing gowns — and a standout bamboo collection that’s built a devoted following.

What sets British Boxers apart is its combination of British heritage design and modern lifestyle sensibilities. You’ll find classic silhouettes that feel timeless, but with comfort, performance, and sustainability baked in. Nowhere is that more evident than in their bamboo sleepwear. 

Bamboo Pyjamas from British Boxers



British Boxers’ bamboo range is stylishly simple but very versatile. From classic two-piece pyjama sets to shorts and lounge separates for warmer seasons, you’ll find options for both men and women.

I was sent the women's bamboo pyjama set made of bamboo in the rich red colour Merry Cherry. The pyjamas came in eco-friendly thick paper packaging, which was a great touch. Immediately, when I opened the parcel, I loved how soft the material felt. If you are a lover of bamboo clothes, you recognise the softness straight away.


Merry Cherry Pyjamas

The pyjamas, I feel, are true to size. They have an elasticated waist in a contrasting grey, with the words British Boxers on the elastic. Perfect for when you've had one too many cakes. The pyjama bottoms also have soft cuffs and roomy pockets, which I love!

These pyjamas come in a range of colours and patterns, so whether you want understated stripes or something a little more playful, there’s something to suit every taste. The relaxed fit is perfect for winding down after a long day, but they’re equally suitable for lazy weekends where coffee on the sofa stretches on for hours.

Why They Make a Fantastic Gift



Okay, let’s talk gifting because bamboo pyjamas from British Boxers make a top-tier present.

A Useful Gift

A pair of ultra-comfortable pyjamas is a gift that’s genuinely useful rather than something that ends up in a drawer. Bamboo’s breathable nature makes it a safe bet, keeping you cool in summer and cosy in winter. They can also be worn as loungewear, too, ideal to put on when you come home from work and want to get comfy.

Luxury Without Pretension

Bamboo pyjamas feel indulgent, soft, breathable, stylish, and are also practical. That makes them perfect for a range of occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, or just “I thought you’d like this” moments.

Thoughtful & Sustainable

Gifting something that’s crafted with sustainability in mind says a lot. It signals that you care about comfort and the planet. For friends who value mindful living (or just enjoy feeling cosy and looked after), this is a great choice.

British Craftsmanship

Because British Boxers designs its sleepwear in the UK and works with responsible manufacturers, these pyjamas carry an added sense of quality and heritage.

Final Thoughts

Pjs

There’s pyjamas… and then there are bamboo pyjamas from British Boxers. Whether you’re hunting for the perfect gift or looking for some new nightwear or loungewear, British Boxers are quietly redefining what comfort means in the 21st century.

British Boxers’ bamboo pyjamas aren’t just another item of nightwear — they’re a stylish, sustainable, and genuinely comfortable upgrade to your evening routine. Whether you’re buying a pair for yourself or gifting them to someone you love,  you’re paying for thoughtful design, premium materials, and a level of comfort that’s hard to beat.

Slip into a pair, and you might just find that bedtime becomes something you look forward to all day long.

Why Bepoke Jewellery Makes The Perfect Gift

In a world of mass-produced items, finding a meaningful gift can be a challenge. All we want is to give something memorable, something that reflects that we've thought about the person and shows that we care. That’s where bespoke jewellery comes in. Bespoke jewellery represents something personal, unique, and well thought out. Whether it's a gift for Christmas, a birthday or an anniversary, bespoke jewellery is one of the most heartfelt gifts you can give. Here’s why bespoke jewellery makes the perfect gift.

I. It Tells A Story

jeweller

When you create an item of bespoke jewellery, you can personalise it how you wish. This means you can take into account the person's likes and dislikes, their personality, and their experiences. It allows you to be part of the story of the jewellery, too and have input into the creative process.

Once you find a jeweller who will help you create the piece of jewellery, then you can be creative. Why not incorporate their birthstone, their choice of precious metal and any symbols that are meaningful to them? A charm bracelet is always a good choice if you are looking for something fashion-led, or a keepsake locket, while if you have the budget, a gold or platinum ring in a distinctive design could be a good idea.

2. It Shows That You Care

Creating a bespoke item of jewellery shows that you care. When you think about what is meaningful to your loved one, working with a bespoke jeweller to create this item needs time and attention.

The recepitant too will always remember the time and effort you have put into the process. 

3. It Is Unique

There’s something undeniably special about owning something no one else has. In an age where trends spread quickly through social media and jewellery is mass-produced, uniqueness has become rare.

From the first sketch to the final polishing to the gift wrapping - the bespoke item of jewellery is created especially for the special person in your life.

4. It Has Exceptional Craftsmanship

Bespoke jewellery is often crafted by skilled artisans and designers who take pride in producing high‑quality work. Because the piece is made to order, the design and materials are carefully chosen for the person. For example, the special person in your life may love the richenss of rose gold jewellery which isn't easy to find on the high street, whilst if they have a manual job like a gardener, or construction worker, a ring made of palladium would be harder wearing than gold.

The durability and attention to detail will ensure that the jewellery will withstand years of wear and create a long‑lasting reminder of a meaningful moment or relationship.

5. It’s More Sustainable and Ethical

Increasingly, people are seeking gifts that reflect ethical and environmental awareness. Many bespoke jewellery makers focus on sustainably sourced metals, conflict‑free gemstones, and small‑scale, eco‑minded production. Often, bespoke items of jewellery are made with old items of jewellery, melting down old gold and creating something new which is a sustainable process. 

Choosing bespoke jewellery means supporting craftsmanship over mass manufacturing, and often backing small, local, or independent jewellers. It’s a feel-good gift that your loved one will adore.

Final Thoughts

Bespoke jewellery is crafted by experts and shows a personal connection, telling a unique story. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, engagement, wedding, or anniversary, or simply looking to make someone feel special, a bespoke piece of jewellery offers beauty, sentiment, and a memory that lasts forever.

In a world where gifts come and go, bespoke jewellery stands apart: timeless, personal, and unforgettable.

Wholesale Bracelets: What’s Trending and What to Look Out For

If you’re in the jewelry selling business, or have a wholesale boutique that you would like to start selling jewelry and accessories in, wholesale bracelets are the way to go. They are as popular now, in 2025, as they have ever been, with their versatility from inexpensive to luxurious appealing to fashion-savvy customers. In this blog we are going to take a look at what is trending in wholesale bracelets, and the types of design and materials that are popular.

Wholesale Bracelet Trends

Some of the popular wholesale bracelet designs right now are chunky, personalised, bold and made from natural materials. These include things like chunky bracelets, cuffs, pearl and mixed-material bracelets and colourful blends:

Chunky Chain and Link

Chunky chain-link bracelets are having a big comeback this year, with people loving the gold, silver and mixed metal styles. They are statement pieces, often paired with basic outfits like plain black dresses or jeans, and look great worn on their own, or with other bracelets.

Cuffs

Cuffs are a unique type of bracelet that are becoming very popular. Cuffs with sculptural shapes, wavy edges, silhouettes and asymmetrical styles are being used to add a striking finish to outfits. They are also worn alone, or layered with other more subtle bracelets for a more obvious style.

Charm Bracelets

Bracelets with charms and meaningful personalisations have been popular for a lot of years, especially when Pandora and Thomas Sabo bracelets were all the range. People still love bracelets that can be made personal, either with charms, birthstones, custom engravings or initials, and they make great gifts for loved ones too. They are easy to wear alone, or with chunkier jewelry.

Things to Look Out For

There are a few things to take note of if you are going to start selling wholesale bracelets, some of them important to make sure that your customers are eager to buy your products and get everything that they might want from you.

Variety

Stocking a variety of bracelet types is important, especially since demand can stretch from inexpensive jewelry items to premium materials and styles. Having a wide range means that all customer desires are there.

Offer Customisation

As mentioned earlier, customisable jewelry is all the range, so personalised or charm-style bracelets are popular among customers looking for special gifts, or a piece that is of emotional significance to them.

Mix up the Styles and Materials

Customer demand can range across all different bracelet materials, so it is important to make sure you stock different types to suit different customers. Pearls, metal, wood and gold/silver are all good options, and come with varying price points too.

Final Thoughts

Wholesale bracelets are an excellent venture for boutique owners, or those who are looking to branch solely into selling jewelry. The wholesale bracelet market this year is all about personality, style and materials, so whether you’re aiming for high-end items or natural and affordable everyday styles, there is a bracelet demand there to be met.

Eco-Friendly Corporate Gifts: Sustainable Picks with a Luxurious Edge

Luxury and sustainability no longer live on opposite ends of the spectrum — they sit comfortably together in the same gift box. For businesses wanting to say “thank you” in a way that’s both memorable and responsible, eco-friendly corporate gifts are the sweet spot: thoughtful, well-made items that reflect your brand values while delighting clients and employees. Below is a curated guide to sustainable corporate gifts that feel luxe, with detailed descriptions and ideas for presentation, personalisation, and procurement.

1. Reclaimed and Upcycled Jewellery & Accessories

cufflinks


Give the kind of sparkle people remember — but make it green. Jewellery crafted from reclaimed metals and upcycled gemstones combines craftsmanship with environmental care. Think delicate necklaces made from recycled sterling silver, or cufflinks milled from repurposed brass. These pieces carry a story: salvaged materials given a second life. For a luxe finish, choose items with subtle engraving (company logo or recipient’s initials) and present them in a matte black box lined with natural cotton.

Why it feels luxurious: High-quality finishing, weighty metal, and meaningful provenance make reclaimed pieces feel premium rather than “eco-cheap.”

2. Lab-Grown Diamonds & Ethically Sourced Gems

For truly special corporate milestones — board gifts, executive recognition, or client anniversaries — lab-grown diamonds or ethically sourced gemstones offer the prestige of fine jewellery without the same environmental or ethical concerns. Lab-grown stones have the same optical properties as mined diamonds and can be set in recycled metal settings for a fully sustainable piece.

Presentation tip: Pair a single, elegant stone (pendant or lapel pin) with a short note explaining its ethical origins — stories sell sentiment.

3. Reclaimed Wood Deskware & Office Accessories

A beautifully crafted desk set signals permanence. Reclaimed teak or walnut can be shaped into phone stands, pen holders, business card trays, and cheese boards. Because the grain and patina are unique, every item feels bespoke. Choose finishes that use non-toxic, water-based varnishes and include care instructions to extend longevity.

Why it feels luxurious: Natural textures, visible history in the wood, and artisan finishing all create a tactile, upscale object.

4. High-Quality Sustainable Textiles

Think silk-blend scarves, organic cotton throw blankets, and linen desk runners — but sourced responsibly. Organic, GOTS-certified cottons, or plant-based “silk” alternatives, can be both soft and striking. For corporate gifts, consider monochrome palettes and subtle patterns that read as modern and sophisticated.

Personalisation: Add a small woven label with the recipient’s initials or the company logo for an intimate, high-end touch.

5. Plantable Stationery & Seed Paper

Elegant notepads, journals, or thank-you cards printed on seed-embedded paper are simultaneously useful and symbolic: after use, the paper can be planted to grow wildflowers or herbs. Opt for thick, deckle-edged stock and minimalist foiling to keep the look premium rather than novelty.

Why it’s meaningful: It’s a literal gift that keeps giving — a tiny ecosystem representing growth and partnership.

6. Zero-Waste Luxury Hampers

Curate a hamper that looks sophisticated but leaves no waste. Include items like artisan chocolates in compostable wrappers, small-batch olive oils in recyclable tins, bamboo kitchen utensils, and a reusable linen tote. Use shredded recycled paper or reusable fabric as filler and replace single-use plastics with glass or metal containers.

Presentation: A low, shallow wooden tray or a hand-woven basket feels premium and is practical.

7. Sustainable Tech: Bamboo Speakers & Solar Chargers

For corporate audiences who appreciate gadgets, choose tech built from sustainable materials. Portable Bluetooth speakers with bamboo enclosures, phone stands made from recycled aluminum, and compact solar chargers all combine practicality with eco-attentive design.

Luxury cue: Seek minimalist design and tactile finishes — a gadget that looks expensive will feel expensive.

8. Bespoke Experience Gifts

Sometimes, the most luxurious sustainable gift is an experience. Arrange a private tasting with a local organic vineyard, a masterclass with an ethical jeweller, or a guided foraging-and-dining experience. Experience gifts dramatically reduce material waste and create strong emotional memories tied to your brand.

How to gift: Include a physical voucher printed on recycled paper and a branded, reusable envelope.

9. Subscription Services with a Conscience

Gift subscriptions can be very high-end: a monthly delivery of ethically sourced teas, a seasonal box of sustainable home goods, or a curated selection of small-batch condiments. Subscriptions emphasise ongoing appreciation rather than a one-off present.

Tip: Choose services that emphasise local producers and transparent sourcing.

10. Charitable Donations & Matching Gifts

For recipients who prefer purpose over presents, make a donation in their name to an environmental NGO, or offer a matching gift program where the company matches a donation to a vetted cause. Package this with a small, reusable token — like a metal lapel pin made from recycled material — to make the gesture feel tangible.

Choosing & Presenting Sustainable Luxury

A sustainable gift is only as impressive as its sourcing and presentation. Here’s how to ensure your offering reads premium:

• Verify certifications and provenance. Look for credible marks (FSC for wood, GOTS for textiles, and recognised ethical jewellery standards).
• Ask questions. Is the metal recycled? Were workers paid fairly? Transparent supply chains create compelling stories that recipients value.
• Focus on craftsmanship. Skills and finishing matter more than the price tag; a hand-finished item looks expensive even if the materials are modest.
• Elevate packaging. Use rigid boxes wrapped in recycled textured paper, biodegradable inks, and natural-fibre ribbons. Add a cotton care card and a short note about the item’s sustainable credentials.
• Personalise thoughtfully. A tasteful monogram or engraved message converts a nice gift into a cherished keepsake. Avoid over-branding; subtlety reads as luxury.
Budgeting & Procurement

Sustainable gifts sometimes carry a higher upfront cost, but they deliver better brand ROI: longer shelf-life, higher perceived value, and alignment with modern corporate values. For broader rollouts, mix price tiers — premium pieces for VIPs and boutique eco-items for wider employee or client groups. Work with small artisans and verified suppliers to negotiate bulk orders while preserving ethical standards.

How to Style Silver Jewellery for a Bold Fashion Look

Some people like a look that feels stronger and more defined, and you may feel the same when you want your accessories to carry more presence. Your sterling silver jewellery can take on that confident mood when you play with shape, texture or contrast instead of relying on size alone.

From here, you can explore a few styling ideas that make that bolder approach feel easier to build into your everyday choices.

Select Sculptural Silver for Strong Visual Impact

Some pieces almost feel like small artworks, and you may notice how they instantly change the mood of an outfit. Wide bangles with curved edges or rings with fuller shapes tend to sit nicely against simple fabrics, even things like plus-size blouses or soft cotton tops. The shine often feels more vivid when the clothing underneath stays calm.

You might find yourself choosing one strong piece on days when you want something that feels expressive without being loud. It is a simple way to add presence to your look.

Layer Contrast Textures to Add Depth

Wearing pieces with different textures can shift the whole feel of your accessories. People who lean towards sustainable fashion often enjoy this because it makes each item feel chosen with intention. A polished pendant besides a bracelet with brushed patches can create a pleasant change in tone.

Some find that oxidised touches make smooth rings look brighter. It is not about adding more pieces, but about letting the finishes play off one another. This brings a quiet richness you can see at a glance.

Pair One Statement Piece with Quiet Companions

A bold neckpiece or a wide cuff, for instance, can set the tone, and then having smaller items around it can gently support the look. You might reach for slim hoops or a narrow band when you do not want everything competing for attention. This pairing creates a calmer balance, and many jewellery lovers find it easier to dress around one hero piece. It lets your style breathe without dulling the impact.

Use Gemstone Accents to Elevate Silver’s Shine

Adding gemstones can shift your pieces toward a more luxurious feel without changing your whole wardrobe. Some people gravitate toward soft blues or greens because the colours sit well beside cool-toned metal. Others enjoy clear stones when they want a crisp sparkle that catches the light in a subtle way. You may even notice how smaller gems give your look a quiet lift during evening plans.

These accents often sit comfortably in collections that blend minimal metal pieces with more refined details, creating small moments of shine.

Match Silver Shapes to Your Outfit’s Lines

You may have noticed how jewellery sits differently depending on what you wear. A curved piece can echo a round neckline, while a long pendant follows the line of a straight-cut top. Even cuffs feel more intentional when they sit near sleeves that mimic their length.

This matching is not strict styling, just a small habit that makes your outfit feel smoother. Many collectors find themselves doing it without thinking because the shapes guide the eye. It is an easy way to create a polished, bold look.

Don’t Just Dress To impress. Dress For Yourself!

There’s no escaping the fact that appearances count for a lot in this world. As such, your beauty and fashion choices are vital. They will have a huge influence on how you are viewed by others. More importantly, though, your look impacts the way you feel about yourself.


shoes

Unfortunately, the biggest mistake many people make is that they dress for the sake of others. While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to impress, you should always start by doing what is right for you. If nothing else, it gives you an authentic confidence that shines through in everything you do. Focus on the pointers below and you won’t go far wrong.

Use Jewellery & Accessories To Show Your Authentic Self

Authenticity is undoubtedly one of the most integral features of building a look that’s about you. Jewelry and accessories are the ideal way to tap into your unique personality. Learning how to select jewelry for your snake bite piercing, for example, will make a huge statement. Moreover, it enables you to cast a more confident and assured figure, which takes the whole look to another level. Of course, you may find that different jewelry should be worn for different occasions.

Jewelry isn’t the only way to complete your look and show your authentic self. Accessories ranging from hats to bags and belts can play an equally telling role. Interestingly, they offer an easy way to accentuate an outfit at work or other situations that require a more subtle approach.


Wear Clothes That Support Your Natural Body Image

When thinking about your dress sense, there’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from others. However, blindly following the latest trends could be a poor move. Not least because some styles simply won’t reflect your natural shape and body image. Most importantly, you must invest in clothes that actually fit. Starting with the right underwear and shapewear dresses, you can build a look that truly takes your look to the next level. And you will certainly feel the benefits.

Outfit sizes often vary greatly from one brand tk the next, though. So, it’s imperative that you take accurate body measurements and use this info to guide your next purchases. When coupled with styles that work with your body shape and best features, success will follow.


Implement A Beauty Routine That Works For You





Smart clothing choices and fashion styles will go a long way to unlocking your best look. In reality, though, an effective beauty routine is equally vital. It gives you a far stronger platform for developing the ideal look. Finding a foundation that suits your natural skin tone should be at the top of your agenda. Meanwhile, eye shadows can be color coordinated with your outfit or hair colour for a bigger impact. Nail art is another area where you can elevate your look.

You should also acknowledge the fact that your beauty is at least partly a reflection of your health. Staying hydrated, eating well, and getting a good night’s rest will transform your looks for the better. Besides, increased health and energy is virtually impossible to not feel.

Prioritise Comfort & Practicality

It’s very easy to focus solely on aesthetics, especially when dressing to impress others. Still, you cannot look your best if you’re uncomfortable. Wearing clothes that fit has already been mentioned, but you must also consider practical styles. When going for a walk in the winter months, for example, a warm jacket and suitable walking shoes are essential. You won’t look the part if you are left shivering and shaking due to poor outfit choices for the conditions.


It is also worth paying attention to the materials worn. Many people have a preference when it comes to material choices. Likewise, materials that itch your skin or generally don’t provide comfort can harm your look as well as the enjoyment levels. Do not overlook this factor.

Think About Affordable Fashion

Nothing will ruin your love of an outfit quite like the knowledge that it has caused financial problems for you. Affordable fashion should be a priority at all times. There are many ways to achieve this, starting with the concept of avoiding the need for luxury brands. Or if you do still want to wear your favourite names, try buying end-of-season fashion or pre-loved items online or from charity stores. Alternatively, you could hire outfits that you’ll only wear once.

Aside from the financial savings, these steps indirectly help reduce your carbon footprint. Knowing that you have made the best choice for your pocket as well as the environment should keep you smiling. And you’ll have more money left to enjoy activities while wearing those fits.

Show Individualism in Fashion Choices

Fashion choices are supposed to be an extension of your personality. It is very hard to accomplish this goal when simply following the latest high street trends. Learning how to upcycle old clothes using a sewing machine can work wonders. It breathes new life into old outfits while also guaranteeing a one-of-a-kind design. And it’s your chance to make a bigger and bolder statement about who you are, including your passions and what you stand for.

Even without upcycling or adjusting outfits, you can create an individual look by mixing and matching items. It gives you a more distinct look than simply copying the latest mannequin display. Let colour schemes play a central role and you should notice telling results.

Try Outfits On First

Having confidence in your look is a major factor. The best way to find clothes that generate the desired outcome is to try them on first. If you test an outfit in a store and feel a little torn, it’s probably best to leave the item. Conversely, if it is a garment that leaves you beaming with a smile, it is probably a wise investment. As long as it’s practical to wear.


Ultimately, your gut instincts will tell you a lot. And if you buy an item online and regret it once you try it on, don’t be afraid to send it back. It’s better to build a wardrobe focused on quality over volume. Embrace this mindset and you will never look back.
