February is always a month full of feeling, so seeing my ceramic love birds featured on LDN (London Daily News) website in February 2026—as part of their Valentine’s gift article—felt genuinely heartwarming.
My round love bird and crested whittle-style love bird were included as thoughtful, design-led gift ideas and I couldn’t have asked for a better context for them to appear.
Love Birds Made to Be Given (and Kept)
These love birds were designed to feel symbolic without being overly literal. To express connection, companionship and affection in a quiet, timeless way—pieces that feel meaningful whether they’re given as a romantic gift, a wedding keepsake or a small token of love.
The round love bird is soft and grounding, while the crested whittle-style bird has a little more character and movement. Both are cast slowly by hand, with natural forms and whittled effect finishes that let their personality come through without fuss.
They’re pieces made to sit side by side—on shelves, bedside tables, or mantelpieces—growing into part of a home’s story.
Why Being Featured on LDN Is So Special
LDN (London Daily News) is a well-known and widely read digital news platform, covering everything from lifestyle and culture to shopping and seasonal features. Their gift guides reach a broad UK audience looking for thoughtful, well-curated recommendations beyond the obvious high-street options.
Being included in their Valentine’s article felt like a real endorsement—not just of the love birds themselves, but of slow-made, meaningful gifting. It introduced ArtyPax to new readers who value originality, craftsmanship and gifts that feel personal rather than disposable.
A Feature I’ll Always Remember
I’m incredibly grateful to the LDN team for featuring my work, and to everyone who continues to support ArtyPax in so many ways. Moments like this remind me that small, hand-crafted pieces can still make their way into big conversations—especially when they’re rooted in emotion and care.
If one of these love birds ends up being gifted this Valentine’s Day (or any day, really), I hope it becomes something quietly treasured—just as this feature will be for me.
