Some flowers carry generations of garden history with them. Dahlias and peonies are among the most beloved of all cottage garden blooms — and the botanical illustrations on these gloves date back as far as the 1630s. To put that in context: contemporary with William Shakespeare's last plays, the early Stuart kings, and the very first English botanical books. Two centuries before Gertrude Jekyll, three centuries before our grandparents started gardening, an artist was sitting somewhere drawing the dahlia we now wear on our wrists.

The result is dramatic, jewel-toned and properly timeless. Set against a deep, moody background, the rich pinks, reds and purples of the flowers take centre stage — celebrating two of the most theatrical bloom families in the cottage garden, the kinds of flowers that make people stop in their tracks at a Chelsea Flower Show stand or a generously-planted June border.

From Burgon & Ball, the Sheffield toolmaker who've been making garden tools since 1730, in their RHS-endorsed "Gifts for Gardeners" collection. Drawn from the RHS Lindley Collections — one of the world's most significant horticultural archives. Supplied to us through our partners at AllotMate, who curate proper, well-made tools for gardeners and allotmenteers who'd rather buy once.

The design

The British Bloom print is bold, dramatic and rooted in serious horticultural heritage:

  • Dahlias and peonies are the signature flowers — two of the most extravagantly beautiful blooms in the British garden tradition, beloved by cottage gardeners, florists and Royal Horticultural Society judges in equal measure
  • Illustrations dating back as far as the 1630s, hand-picked from the RHS Lindley Collections — properly old botanical art, the kind that sits in archives next to original Linnaeus volumes
  • The deep, moody background makes the jewel tones pop dramatically — different in feeling to the lighter Asteraceae print, more theatrical and grown-up
  • The whole effect is bold and confident — the gloves of a gardener who likes their kit to make a statement

Where the Asteraceae print celebrates the soft, naturalistic late-summer garden, the British Bloom print celebrates its more dressed-up cousin — the cutting garden, the show bench, the June peony border at full swagger.

What makes them work

The construction is identical to the rest of the RHS gift glove range — beautiful design backed by genuinely thoughtful working features:

  • Cushioned palm — proper protection for everyday garden work, reducing hand fatigue during longer sessions
  • Gathered wrist — close-fitting cuff that keeps soil, mulch and small debris from finding their way down your sleeve
  • Soft, tough fabric with elastane stretch — flexible enough for fiddly tasks like deadheading and tying, durable enough to take repeated use
  • Snug, flexible fit — moves naturally with your hand rather than sliding around as you work
  • Machine-washable at 30°C — significantly more practical than most workwear gloves. Pop them in with the next dark wash and they come out fresh for next time

The dark background of this design has a genuine practical advantage too — it doesn't show soil and grass stains the way a paler-coloured glove would. Practical beauty, in other words.

Sizing

These are a universal women's fit, size 8.5 — equivalent to a UK women's medium. They suit average to slightly broader women's hands, and many smaller men's hands as well thanks to the elastane stretch.

If you have particularly small hands or particularly broad hands, the Briers range offers more precise fit options. But for most women's hands, the universal sizing here works comfortably.

As a gift

This pair makes a particularly thoughtful gift for the gardener who likes their kit to be properly something — bold, dramatic, with character. Particularly good for:

  • The dahlia obsessive — the print is a quiet acknowledgement of the gardener who plans their entire borders around the dahlia season
  • The peony grower — the same applies. Peonies inspire deep loyalty, and so do gloves that celebrate them
  • A gardening friend with theatrical taste — anyone whose garden leans towards the bold, dramatic and richly-coloured rather than the soft and pastel
  • Mother's Day, birthdays, Christmas — gift moments where you want something distinctive rather than ordinary
  • A florist friend who appreciates the dressed-up end of cottage garden flowers
  • Pair with a packet of dahlia or sweet pea seeds for a complete small gift

If you're choosing between the two RHS gift gloves we stock — these (British Bloom, dark and dramatic) versus the Asteraceae (sage green and soft) — pick by the recipient's wider taste. Both are made to the same specification; the difference is purely aesthetic.

Looking after them

The machine-washable construction makes care genuinely easy:

  • Shake out and brush off visible soil before washing
  • Machine wash at 30°C — the dark base colour is forgiving of mixed loads
  • Air dry away from direct heat — the printed fabric will fade quickly under tumble dryers or strong sun
  • Avoid bleach or fabric softeners — both can damage the print and the stretch fabric
  • Store flat or hung gently rather than scrunched up

Treated this way, the print stays vivid and the gloves keep their lovely look for many seasons.

About Burgon & Ball and the RHS Lindley Collections

Burgon & Ball have been making garden tools in Sheffield since 1730, drawing on the city's centuries-old expertise in steel and craft. Their RHS-endorsed "Gifts for Gardeners" collection draws on the RHS Lindley Collections — one of the most significant horticultural libraries and archives in the world, containing thousands of botanical illustrations and historical garden materials. We're proud to stock pieces from this collaboration; using centuries-old botanical art to decorate practical garden kit is the kind of small cultural project that suits our shop exactly.

A small thought: the dahlia and peony are flowers that earn their drama. They're not subtle, they don't apologise, and they make June and August into the months they are. These gloves carry the same energy — bold, confident, properly beautiful. The kind of working kit that gives you a small lift every time you put it on.

SLEEK EXTENDABLE SCREEN MOUNT
HIGH SPEED TESLA MAGSAFE POWER i picked this up for my Model 3 to see if the 25W Qi2.2 charging actually lives up to the hype during my daily work week. ✨ The CNC aluminum build is top notch and feels much more robust than the flimsy plastic mounts i have tested. It's a piece of cake to clamp onto the corner of the Tesla screen and the metal arm matches the interior aesthetics perfectly. The magnetic hold is strong enough to keep my phone secure even when i am taking sharp turns thru my weekend adventures. ✨ Performance is where this thing shines because it actually delivers the 25W speeds without overheating. The built in cooling fan is a smart design choice that keeps the temperature down during long drives. i can hear the fan if the music is off but it's barely noticeable and definitely worth it for the consistent charging speed. ✨ The RGB lighting adds a subtle glow that makes it easy to find the mount in the dark without being distracting. Having the extendable arm is a big benefit for finding the perfect line of sight without blocking the main touchscreen. It's clearly a well thought out solution for any Tesla owner who wants a professional grade charging setup. THE VERDICT This is a exceptional piece of hardware that delivers real world results for high speed charging. The combination of active cooling and a sturdy metal build makes it a first class addition to my car. 'As a 35 year veteran of the computer technology industry, I offer informed and experienced perspectives in my product reviews.' I will update this review if anything changes within 1 year. ★★★★★ (5 Stars): A 5 star rating indicates the product meets my expectations for its purpose.

Great Product!!!
Color: Black
**Overall impression** The Anker MagSafe Charger Compatible, MagGo 3-in-1 is a seamless blend of practicality and modern design. It’s compact enough for a nightstand or desk, yet versatile enough to handle multiple devices in one tidy setup. If you value cable-free convenience and a tidy charging solution, this is a standout choice. **What I liked** - **Strong MagSafe performance**: The magnetic alignment feels precise, snapping right into place on my iPhone 13/14/15 with reassuring stability. Wireless charging is quick and steady, even with a case on (I tested a standard silicone case and a slightly thicker one). - **3-in-1 convenience**: It’s not just a charger for your phone—the MagGo 3-in-1 includes a dedicated spot for AirPods or other wireless earbuds and a small stand for Apple Watch or another device, depending on your setup. This eliminates clutter and keeps essentials within arm’s reach. - **Sleek, minimal design**: The matte finish and low-profile footprint look great on a nightstand or desk. It blends in with most decor and doesn’t draw unwanted attention to the charging area. **Build quality**: Solid construction with quality materials. The stand holds devices steadily, and the cable management is thoughtful, helping to reduce cable chaos. **Ease of use**: Set up is straightforward—just plug in, place devices, and you’re charging. The integrated design means fewer cables and an cleaner surface. **Bottom line** If you’re after a convenient, stylish, all-in-one charging solution, the Anker MagSafe Charger Compatible, MagGo 3-in-1 delivers. It’s reliable, well-built, and surprisingly versatile, making it a strong upgrade over standard single-device chargers. The few caveats around ultra-thick cases and watch-fit are minor trade-offs for the convenience and organization it brings to your space.

Reliable, sturdy, and well-designed
Color: Black
I bought the Anker MagGo 3-in-1 Charging Station for my husband at Christmas, and it’s been on his nightstand and used consistently ever since. We’ve tried similar multi-device chargers before, but they always felt cheaply made and didn’t hold up over time. This one is completely different. Right out of the box, it felt solid and well-built — definitely a noticeable step up in quality. It charges his phone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously without any issues, and the MagSafe connection is strong and secure. It keeps everything organized in one sleek spot, which makes the nightstand look cleaner and less cluttered. If you’re tired of flimsy charging stations that don’t last, this one is absolutely worth it. Reliable, sturdy, and well-designed.

Works Pretty Great
Color: Black, Color: Black
Used it for a month so far. It looks cool and has a very strong magnetic connection on both the phone and watch pads. The stand has a good amount of weight to the base of it while still being small and compact. I was able to charge both my phone and watch simultaneously and it seems to work pretty well, though I’ll update this review if it ever fails. I have an ESR case and it holds my iPhone 14 Pro very firmly and I can rotate or angle it any way I’d like on the stand. HTX Studio ran battery health charging tests across multiple iPhone using wired vs. wireless charging and proved that wireless charging barely but still noticeably improves battery health (doesn’t degrade it as much) over time since it charges slightly slower and can manage its heat slightly better because of that. Do keep in mind that wireless charging is about 50% as efficient as wired charging so you’ll spend around $8-12 per year charging your phone instead of $4-6 (which is negligible for the convenience it offers in my opinion). Price is a little steep but this is the best charging stand I could find on Amazon after lots of research. It does not have active cooling but it’s made of aluminum and similar materials so it should handle heat better than say a silicone one would. Overall, it looks pretty nice and does what’s asked of it. See attached photos. Screenshots are from my phone being charged on the stand. I tested it with my Apple watch (series 9) and phone at the same time, too, but that’s not in the pictures. Latest update: I had issues with Apple Watch charging during the WatchOS 26 Release Candidate update but the full release resolved those issues.

These things work great for my apple products.
Color: White
Used for apple watch, iphone 15 Pro Max and air pods pro. Have one that was purchased elsewhere and given to me as a gift. Wanted another but was waiting for a price drop that was more in line with my feelings of what is a fair price. Amazon offered them at a decent price so sprung for a second. WHY? They are very stable. Doesn’t feel like it will tip even with my phone on there horizontally. Footprint is very small. I can put the phone both vertical and horizontal and it charges great with both an Ultra 3 watch and an apple watch 11. Can also charge the air pods at the same time. The best part that justifies the price is it comes WITH the watch charger right there on it. You don’t have to lace your own watch cord through some tiny space like some others I have owned. And the apple watch chargers are expensive. Would easily fit in a bag to carry with me. Although it doesn’t fold down for travel. Comes with the USB wall wort and the USB-C cable. C cable plugs into the single outlet on the back of the charging unit. No issues with overheating of devices. I bought the white one. The plastic charging pads for the phone and air pods are a light gray and they look good together and with the white. I just like white, but they have other colors. It also charges my Anker Soundcore rechargable earbuds. It has a white light that comes on when I put my items on the charger. I will absolutely be getting another. Have been buying Anker products for a while. Nearly all have been fabulous. BUT they did have a recall on a 5000 or 10000 mAH portable charging pack. Cannot remember which it was. But amazon notified me about it, even before the recall hit the news. Have had absolutely no problems with either one I have.
