If you are looking to purchase a large teapot, Teapots to Talk About have just added a 10 cup teapot to their range.  You can now personalise a large teapot (currently available in white only) with your own wording and design.

This would make an excellent gift for a family at Christmas or perhaps an anniversary.  Teapots can as always be decorated with whatever wording you would like but if it is going to be a family teapot for family gatherings why not add all the names of family members - possibly with dates of birth.

As always please feel free to come and browse our website at www.teapotstotalkabout.co.uk for ideas and inspiration.

In this day and age so many couples getting married have their present list all drawn up and logged with a store.  Although this provides a practical solution to the promlem of multiple toasters, it leaves no room for a personal or individual gift that shows thought, and let’s the couple know how special they are to you.

A unique, hand painted teapot from Teapots to Talk About, allows you to give a very special and personal gift that will last for many years to come.  It allows you to choose the wording, decoration and colour scheme that fit the couple and create a unique teapot and special gift for a unique and special couple.

In the UK most of us own a teapot even if we don’t drink tea but if a teapot isn’t the right gift you could consider a jug instead which can have many and varied uses from jug to flower vase.

Both teapots and jugs once personalise become beautiful yet functional items that can be in daily use, on display or just come out when the visitors arrive!  However they are used they provide a lasting memory of a happy day that can be treasured forever.

Collectible or collectable teapots, (depending on which side of the Atlantic you reside) come in many different shapes and sizes.  Some are fuctional teapots whilst some are purely decorative.

Teapots to Talk About creates unique collectible teapots with a difference. 

They are all standard Betty style teapots but they use motivational or inspirational quotes to provide a funcional teapot that can move you, inspire you, make you think or even cheer you up.

Cheryl Smith who started Teapots to Talk about last September loves the use of language to help and encourage us.  “A teapot seemed the idea place to put a quote that could make you think or smile everytime you use it”.

Cheryl produces a limited number of unique teapots ready to buy, but the main focus of the business is to produce hand painted teapots to the clients specified design.

This allows clients to choose a quote or wording that is relevant to them or the recipent of the gift and a decorative finish that fits with what people like, specific colour schemes etc…

  Friends and laughter… …always welcome here.

Teapots can be designed online or you can discuss your needs direct with Cheryl.

Please feel free to browse the website at www.teapotstotalkabout.co.uk and bookmark the site so you can return to us next time you have a special occasion to attend and are looking for a special and truely unique gift.

Most of us have a teapot, even if we don’t use it and I wanted a unique gift idea that people could give for a special occasion. I have a few friends who like their tea brewed in a teapot and after painting one for a birthday present - Teapots to Talk About was born.

I like the idea that an object can be beautiful as well as functional and I love the use of quotes to motivate and inspire. All these ideas came together to provide a truly unique and special personalised gift.

I love the idea that people can choose the wording and decoration for their teapot. This gives them a real input into the gift and I hope makes it extra special for the person who receives it. Knowing that someone has taken the time and trouble to think of you and create such a unique gift is a wonderful thing.

It was important to me that people knew their teapot was unique to them which is why they are all individually numbered, recorded and come with a certificate of authenticity.

I hope that it is a gift that will be treasured for years to come.
