York-based designer Mary Benson is renowned for her glitter-appliquéd velvet praire dresses. Beautiful as they are, they are probably out of budget for most of us, but thanks to her Make Your Own Mary kits we can all have our own little piece of Mary magic. There are two kits available – the Groovy DIY T-shirt, from £25, and the Groovy DIY appliqué (ideal if you want to embellish your own clothing and accessories), £20. Each kit comes with glitter iron-on appliqués, two sheets of greaseproof paper, instructions and design/colouring in sheet and the t-shirt kit also comes with, you guessed it, a t-shirt (organic, ethical cotton in a choice of colours and sizes from age 3 to adult UK 28). A fabulous gift, but allow enough time as delivery takes up to a week.
