The RSPCA has long warned against giving pets as Christmas presents, but a polished bronze cat or dog is another matter. Who might it make a great gift for?

Find out about patinated bronze, what causes it to change colour and why that particular blue-green shade is so desirable some people intentionally cause it.

Find out about delightful personalised Christmas gifts, like bespoke casts of your baby’s feet, and why it’s important to start the process months in advance.

A bronze hand casting of your newborn baby may mark one moment in their life, but this could be repeated for other landmarks as they start to grow up.
