In the spirit of Christmas, Michael Rowan discovers some gifts that really do go on giving, thanks to Arthouse Unlimited a charity that presents the artistic talents of adults with learning and physical difficulties, needing varying levels of support; and where 100% of the retail revenue goes towards supporting the charity helping it to grow and evolve.
Sometimes the stars align and a great idea is born. This could not be truer than in the case of Arthouse Unlimited
This is the brainchild of Becky Sheraidah, herself an artist who was keen to enable social inclusion for those susceptible to exclusion from the arts.
Arthouse Unlimited is a group of artists working alongside people with disability to produce a range of products ideal for Christmas gifts; stocking fillers or a gift at any time of the year.
Artist Elanor Sinden
Be quite clear these pieces are truly art and represent good value for money.
Best of all not only will you have the knowledge that you have bought an interesting gift but you will also be supporting a great initiative.

I am loving the Lady Muck Range which includes Body Scrub with Bergamot and Lavender and retails for £20.00. Or try the Angels of the Deep with the life affirming motto ‘You’re splendid’ and who amongst us doesn’t need to be told that once in a while? This is a smooth scent with natural balmy, heady notes of Lavender and an airy citrus overtone.
Dark Honeycomb Bar
For those of us with a sweet tooth, try the Underwater Handmade Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and Crispy Crunch which is handcrafted in the UK by a specialist chocolatier using cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic, this chocolate is an indulgent treat for the taste buds. This chocolate features artwork created by a collaboration of ARTHOUSE Unlimited artists. https://arthouseunlimited.org/shop/underwater-handmade-dark-chocolate-with-sea-salt-and-crispy-crunch/
Organic Plant Wax candles in a fabulous range of scents and an even more fabulous artwork. Price £16.00. https://arthouseunlimited.org/product-category/home-fragrance/candles/
In and of themselves, similar items may be sourced elsewhere, but not so the art work, which is in turn, beautiful, quirky and witty. Guaranteed to be the sort of packaging that you won’t mind hanging around the house until well into the New Year.
