Gift Guide

Launching an exciting Gift Guide for Cecca Designs! Sections include Stocking Fillers, Men’s, Women’s and Kid’s Clothing, Accessories, Home Decor, Home Goods, Wall Art, Tech Accessories and Pet Supplies!

I’m super excited to launch my brand new Gift Guide!

As a designer with art on many products across a number of online shops I wanted to hand pick a selection of my favourite or most popular things from the different shops and bring them all together into one place. I’ve curated a selection of products in several categories and each image links directly to the specific item. The images below are just a taster:

The Gift Guide sections include Stocking Fillers, Men’s, Women’s and Kid’s Clothing, Accessories, Stationary, Home Decor, Home Goods, Wall Art, Tech Accessories and Pet Supplies!

I’ve not included things like Fabric, Wallpaper, Shower Curtains or Skateboards for now but I’ve still got links to all sections of my shops on my Shops page.  If you can’t find the design you like on the product you are after please let me know!

I’ve also included a selection of my favourite products from guest designer ‘Coffee and Walnut’.

Veggie Breakfast - Apron by Coffee and Walnut

Clicking on any of the images in the guide will take you to a new tab in one of my shops where you’ll be able to find more products with the design selected. The products are mainly from Redbubble but I’ve also linked to some great products on Spoonflower, Threadless, TeePublic and Society6. Some items (e.g. T-Shirts) will be available in a few of the different stores.

I’d love any feedback or suggestions, please just leave me a comment or drop me a note!

DIY Dog Collar Tutorial

So excited that Spoonflower and Anna Mina from Pink Up Perfect chose my mini fossils fabric to make their latest DIY project blog - a gorgeous dog collar and matching leash!

So excited that Spoonflower and Anna Mina from Pink Up Perfect chose my mini fossils fabric to make their latest DIY project blog - a gorgeous dog collar and matching leash! You can check out the full instructions for the make over on Spoonflower’s blog but here are a few photos from the project.

I’m so glad they chose mini fossils, it has to be one of my favourite ditsy designs. It’s part of my dinosaur fossils collection and is available in lots of different colorways.

Midnight Mushrooms

Many of my designs start out with pen or pencil on paper. Here is a simple pen sketch I made for Inktober one year and the resulting pattern.

Many of my designs start out with pen or pencil on paper. Here is a simple pen sketch I made for Inktober one year and the resulting pattern. I love Autumn and spotting toadstools when I’m walking in the New Forest. I love how the design looks on home decor and I think it would be fab for oven gloves and aprons!
