Our hearts did a little skip when we spotted these gorgeous masks. And if you’re looking for a gift for someone – um, maybe yourself – which will put a smile on the face while keeping out the light, look no further.

Jessica Russell Flint is a very talented artist-maker (you can find her work online here, featuring make-up bag designs, sleepwear, laptop cases – we are so up for one of those – cushions and more).

With a very generous design to ensure darkness, they’ve also got a wide-ish, gathered silk band that is both comfortable and does the job very well of keeping the mask in place.

But it’s the designs that we’ve fallen for – ‘J for Jelly’ (for Jo), ‘S for Sunglasses’ (for Sarah), ‘H for Hearts’ and ‘A for Angels’, for instance. Everyone different, everyone gorgeous. (Luckily we just LOVE the things that our own initials stand for!)

We look forward to the admiring glances of fellow travellers on long-haul flights. (Though of course, we won’t actually be able to SEE them.)
