Wish List: Clocks to go cuckoo over

The Pavillion garden centre love these farmyard cuckoo clocks so much they’ve filled an entire wall with them. Kids get a great kick out of them and even if you don’t get there on the hour, the lads will oblige with a demo. Mario Buatta, the New York decorator who has never been known to err on the side of plain, counts the black and white monkey as one of his prized possessions. www.thepavilion.ie
Your garden may be lacking in blooms at the moment, but the Hydrangea embroidery cushion will brighten up any indoor corner. Do not, under any circumstances, add water. €60 from Laura Ashley.
