THE RECOGNISED STORY
Top picks from our Christmas gift guide
This Christmas is yet another opportunity to show love to those in our lives. After the last two Christmases spent apart, now more than ever is a chance to show those we love just how much we care about them.
These are my top picks in our 2022 Christmas gift-guide. As you look through these, I hope names will come to mind and you’ll find the perfect gift which will speak a thousand words to those you love.
ANNEKA WALLINGTON
When I started Recognised in 2018, fresh out of university, I wanted to create products that helped people (including myself) show love to one another, and I wanted people who needed that love to never feel alone in what they were facing - to feel seen, valued and recognised.
This year Recognised turned four and as we approach our fifth Christmas as a brand, I am truly thankful for every single person who has purchased a piece of Recognised jewellery and sent a gift of recognition to those they love. From gifts to friends going through cancer to shows of support with our Dove Popon for those struggling with their mental health. It’s truly been a beautiful thing to see these moments of connection and my original vision of recognition take place.

1. SIGNATURE SILVER BANGLE AND DOVE POPON®
Where it all began, I wear this piece everyday and is a reminder of my own strength and a symbol of solidarity for others struggling with their mental health. I have gifted this time and time again to friends and will again this Christmas.

2. FINE GOLD CHAIN AND P ALPHABET POPON®
Just a few weeks ago my family lost our beloved Aunty Penny to breast cancer. She was the first investor in Recognised and spent her life dedicated to helping people feel less alone through her work as a psychotherapist. She also happened to be the queen of meaningful gifting, always giving you something that spoke right to the heart, wrapped stunningly in white tissue paper with black velvet ribbons. This Christmas I will be gifting my family with the letter P from the Recognised Letters cancer support Popons, in memory of Aunty Penny. Like my family, I know so many of us face Christmas this year without those we love. Alongside the Recognised team, I send deep love and recognition to you during this time.

3. 'YOU ARE SO LOVED' MIRRORS
I could not love our Recognised Mirrors more. They have been a labor of love and I’m so pleased they are ready just in time for Christmas. We have carefully selected each message which features on the mirrors - they are words we all need to hear and that I have taken daily comfort from. My favourite mirror is the ‘You are so loved’ mirror.
Don’t we all need that reminder?
4. GOLD PAPERCLIP CHAIN AND PEARL POPON®
Perhaps one of our most beautiful necklaces. The paperclip chain is so versatile and can be adjusted at any length from 24 inches all the way to a choker. The white pearl is named ‘freedom’ - something we are all worthy of and after the past few years means more personally than ever before.

5. SILVER THICK CHAIN AND PEBBLE POPON®
Our Pebble Popons have been our Popon of the year and I’ve worn mine all year round. They come in three different textures representative of human beings - we are all unique but infinitely better together. The Pebbles are a symbol for solidarity and 100% of profits are donated to support the Ukraine crisis and the fight against racial injustice. I wear this proudly and every time I fiddle with my pebble turns my mind to those impacted by the causeS it supports.
