During these trying times, it’s the little things that count. The morning text from your friend saying they’re thinking of you (alongside a gif that cracks you up), the sudden burst of sunshine on an otherwise gloomy day, or the smile you share with a neighbour when you pass each other on your lunchtime walk.

On the fashion front, we’re all in need of cosy, cocooning clothes that lift our spirits, if only a tiny bit, and that’s why we’re loving the star motif trend right now.

There’s something instantly uplifting about the familiar five-pointed pattern – maybe it’s because everyone’s wishing upon a star for better days to come.

There are lots of bold and bright star print jumpers, T-shirts and even slippers on the high street at the moment, and a host of heavenly bodies in the jewellery department too.

If you’re looking for a present for a loved one, why not surprise them with a sweet star necklace or pair of earrings? Pop it in the post and your galactic gift is sure to brighten their day.
