'Get Your Hands Dirty' Oak-Backed Nail Brush

Some of life's best things ask you to roll up your sleeves. The garden that needs turning, the dough that needs kneading, the engine, the clay, the soil under a fingernail at the end of a good day's work. This little brush is for the hands that do those things, and for getting them clean again afterwards.

A generous oval of solid wood sits comfortably in the palm, with firm natural bristles that make short work of soil, paint, flour and the honest grime of a life well lived. We engrave it with a gentle nudge of a phrase: 'Get your hands dirty…'

Not just a must-have for anyone who works with their hands — a small life philosophy you can keep by the sink. A thoughtful present for the gardener, the potter, the baker or the mechanic.

Choose from light or dark bristles.
