Buy of the day

Friday Crochet hats, £18 each, by AraVore Babies Is it wrong to be jealous of your daughter's wardrobe? The high street delivers harem trousers, padded shoulders and hideous leggings for us, while the little ones get gorgeous vintage accessories like this. Not fair. This beanie hat is made from soft organic, fairly traded cotton. Perfect for keeping very small eco-fashionistas warm on a chilly day. Thursday Geranium bourbon scented candle, £30, by Miller Harris We're feeling a little Valentined-out in the office now: one too many press releases on the formula for the duration of the perfect kiss will do that to you. But we'd be very happy to receive this for a little gift come Sunday. 'English country garden after rain' is the description, and Miller Harris scents are among the only ones we've ever found that actually deliver the goods. Not that we judge a candle by its cover, but the packaging is gorgeous too. Wednesday Organic cotton scarf, £14.50, by Ascension The online ethical boutique is having a snap sale (we hope not prompted by the recent grim tidings of its financial position ). Scarfs are very much the accessory du jour: it's not often you can say that fashion coincides with warmth, so snuggle up in organic cotton while you can. Tuesday Small frame purse, £25, by Liberty of London Do not, under any circumstances, buy this for anyone else - that would just be too cutesy. Instead, get it for yourself, then scowl at anyone who even mentions the word Valentine. Cute print/grumpy attitude is the look you want. Monday Serif tote bag, $24, The Little Factory Typography fans (and who isn't a typography fan?) will be excited by this serif tote bag by Little Factory celebrating the eponymous typeface. Perfect for all the stuff you can't cram into your handbag. Of course, if you don't buy it, you will be (ahem) sans-serif ... The company are based in Hong Kong but they do ship internationally.
