Our Co-Founder and Creative Director Laura Jackson drives two weeks up Ireland's west coast.
"Every summer we go somewhere less obvious. Last year Sweden and Gotland, this year Ireland. Three kids under six, a family van, a ferry from Holyhead into Rosslare, and two weeks working our way up the Wild Atlantic Way. We had planned to do it in a camper until we saw the price. What I hadn't expected was the food - local, seasonal, plain and very good - or how much better a pub is when there is live music and nobody is looking at your children. Tropical-looking beaches, cold Atlantic swims, lobster eaten on an empty stretch of sand. Ireland has my heart." Laura

Our weekly Nice Things Edit is a curated Monday round-up of what we’re loving right now. From our favourite pieces on Glassette to a recipe, a watch, a read, a place to visit, a restaurant, and a gift worth bookmarking.
Each week, every member of the Glassette team shares their current favourites, whether that’s new arrivals, pieces we’ve spotted trending, or timeless finds we can’t stop thinking about. Think of it as a weekly dose of joy, discovery, and design inspiration, handpicked by the Glassette team.

Nice Things This Week

The ones worth saving for the last week of August, when the light goes long and everything starts packing itself away.
There is a specific kind of film about the end of summer, and it is not really about summer at all. It is about the afternoon the shutters get closed, the argument that surfaces on the last night, the person who was there in July and is not there in September. These nine understand it.

9 Films for the End of Summer

Tonight, 12 August, a total solar eclipse crosses Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain. Britain isn't in the path of totality, and never gets the full blackout drama this time round. What we get instead is a partial eclipse, low in the west, right around sunset. That sounds like a consolation prize. It isn't. A sun sliced into a crescent and sinking into the sea is its own kind of spectacle, and the further west and south you are, the more dramatic it looks. Bring eclipse glasses (sunglasses will not do), a clear western horizon, and low expectations of the British weather. Timings shift by several minutes across the country, and the sun sets earlier the further east you are - check local start times and sunset for your exact spot before you head out.

The Best Places in the UK to View the Solar Eclipse

Eleanor is Glassette's Buying and Brand Acquisition Manager - the person who sources new homeware and lifestyle brands for the platform, shapes the ranges, and spots what's worth paying attention to before most people have clocked it. Every month, she shares the products she can't stop thinking about, the trends quietly moving into interiors, and honest recommendations she'd genuinely spend her own money on.

July Product Diaries

Welcome to If I Had A Million, our new series where we ask people anonymously what they'd actually do if they won a million pounds. Not what you should do with a windfall like that, what you'd really do. Each month, one person tells us exactly how they'd split it, spend it, and share it. No names, no judgement, just honesty.
First up: a 26-year-old trainee joiner from Bath, currently renting, who's already got it all mapped out, down to the industrial knitting machine.

If I had a million...

With a heatwave on the horizon, the pièce de résistance is the Summer Solstice. If you've found yourself thinking the sun's been hanging around a little longer lately, you'd be right – it's the longest day of the year, with more daylight than any other. So whether you're planning a BBQ, gathering friends for an impromptu movie night, or simply looking for an excuse to stay outside that bit later, there's never been a better time to make the most of it.
While Stonehenge remains one of the most famous places to mark the occasion, the Summer Solstice is celebrated in all sorts of ways across the world. In Sweden, Midsummer is practically a national institution, with people heading to the countryside to wear flower crowns, feast on strawberries, dance around maypoles and sing well into the evening (thankfully, nothing like the events of the 2019 horror Midsommar). In Mexico, crowds gather at Chichén Itzá to see the ancient sun-drenched El Castillo pyramid, while in Austria, huge bonfires light up the Alps as communities come together to usher in the year's longest day.
Whether you're joining an age-old tradition or just enjoying an extra few hours in the garden, it’s well worth joining in on the celebrations.

Summer Solstice Traditions

Spend five minutes with Rachel Ama and you’re immediately pulled into her world, one where food is generous, sauce-led and rooted in feeling. For Rachel, Mother’s Day isn’t about a polite brunch or a single showstopper dish, it’s about abundance. Think slow-cooked butterbeans, citrusy chermoula, soft sourdough slicked with avocado and lemon salt, chocolate mousse with olive oil, and tables dotted with figs and berries, a feast designed to make mum feel truly spoilt.
In this conversation, Rachel reflects on the dishes that shaped her, the quiet power of intention when cooking for someone you love, and how becoming a mother herself has deepened her understanding of care. From pistachio lemon loaf as a fail-safe crowd-pleaser to suya-spiced oyster mushrooms made for sharing, she reminds us that celebratory food should be joyful, flavour-packed and made with heart - never worthy, never restrained, always abundant.

Cooking for Mother's Day

This Mother’s Day, celebrate love, care and gratitude. For every kind of mothering, from mums and step-mums to grandmothers, aunties, godmothers and the friends who show up like one, we’ve curated a gift guide made for giving thanks. Whether they are a breakfast-in-bed person or a “don’t fuss” minimalist, find something that says thank you.

Mother's Day Gifting

Most of us want the same thing from our bedrooms: to switch off. But somewhere between laundry piles, over-bright lighting, and well-intentioned styling, calm can quietly slip away. Learning how to create a calm bedroom isn’t about chasing a minimalist ideal or copying a hotel room wholesale. It’s about understanding what helps your nervous system slow down, softer light, fewer decisions, materials that feel good to touch, and then shaping the room around that. Calm isn’t a look. It’s a feeling you notice when you exhale.

Creating a Calm Bedroom

This week’s moodboard takes its cue from the McCallister family home in Home Alone - a place where Christmas is turned all the way up, from the moment Kevin is left in charge. Think glowing lights, generous colour, busy rooms and that unmistakable feeling of a house ready for chaos, comfort and celebration in equal measure. We’ve chosen rich tones, cosy textures and festive details that capture the warmth and nostalgia of the film, reimagined for a home that feels welcoming, layered and lived in.

Film Moodboards: Home Alone

A quiet hour, a cup of tea, and a few simple materials - ribbon, paper, tin - can change how a space feels. Embossed tin shapes catch the light; paper stars, strung into loose garlands, brighten a room without much effort. Small, handmade details like these make a home feel festive in a way that’s personal and relaxed. These are some of the ideas we’ve seen trending this season.
