Crazy Daisy storage
We love the Portmeirion Crazy Daisy design of homewares – it’s fresh, modern and funky.
There are loads of products available in the range, but for storage purposes, these storage jars are great.
The small storage jar is in the sale at Leekes, where it’s currently reduced to £14.50.
They also have the Portmeirion Crazy Daisy mug for £4.50, the Crazy Daisy plate for £8.50 and a set of six Crazy Daisy coasters for £6.

Although they’re described as ‘homely and rustic,’ the vibrant designs are colourful and jolly.
