Halloween originated as an ancient Celtic festival to mark the end of harvest and the start of winter. Key traditions like trick-or-treating and costumes stem from ancient practices, with carved jack-o'-lanterns originally made from turnips before pumpkins became popular. The season's traditional colours of orange and black symbolise harvest and death/night, respectively.

Our mission is to bring joy and creativity into homes through beautifully handcrafted ceramics and textiles. Inspired by the natural world and a love for animals, Hannah designs unique, playful pieces that spark imagination and brighten the dullest of corners. With a commitment to sustainability and ethical production, we aim to create gifts that are not only functional but also loved for their charm and originality.

Yes, all of our designs are sent to you individually boxed. The smaller items like salt and pepper shakers and egg cups are packed in a box with an illustrative sticker on it. The tableware designs are in a box with the Hannah Turner logo on it.

Yes, we pack each individual gift boxed item or items in a larger box, then pad this on all sides with eco loosefill (wheat starch puffs) on all sides so that it is protected from rough handling. We do get a few breakages, but they are rare and it is usually because it is very badly handled by the couriers.

Everything we use to send your purchase is packed in recycled card, we don't use any plastics, we use wheat puff loose-fill that can go into your household compost. The outer boxes are all fully recycleable or compostable. They are perfect if you are doing no dig gardening, worms love cardboard! Our tape is also paper.
