1. What Makes a Gift Quirky?

Quirky isn’t random — it’s personal, playful, and a little left of centre. Think storytelling handbags, character-inspired jewellery, or accessories that make people say, “Wait, where did you get that?” At Love Persimmon, we curate unusual gifts that are as expressive as the people you’re shopping for.

We all know someone who “has everything.” Here’s how to outsmart them:

• For the fashion rebel: Go bold with quirky handbags that turn heads.
• For the sentimental soul: Choose jewellery with storybook charm or symbolism.
• For the creative: Pick up a colourful notebook or artisan sketch pad.
• For the minimalist (yes, even them): Try a neutral-toned, sculptural vase or textured cushion that blends function with flair.
