Most of our beautiful gifts are sourced from either local or small independent suppliers or artisans.
The key is not only their style and design but also their uniqueness! We ensure that what you see in our shops is not seen anywhere else in the area, and many of our gifts are produced exclusively for us giving you lots of wonderful individual surprises during your shopping experience with us.
Our popular ranges are stocked all year round but we have many other items that come and go with the seasons. It’s impossible to list all our lovely gifts here but to give you a flavour of our diverse stock we have jugs and platters, ducks, penguins, cows and sheep, flowers and vases, apples, pears, cushions and mugs. And these gifts are produced from a variety of materials; wood, glass, pottery, china, card, acrylic, metal, to name a few.
We have a range of greeting cards unique to us as they are produced by us using our images from local artists. We also stock Emma Ball – and many other lovely ranges too!
Glass Relief
These stunning pieces of glass are handmade in Dorset, inspired by the details of textures and colours which are found in the natural world and its landscape. There are different pieces available, from lovely large framed pieces to smaller stand alone pieces; they are tactile and beautiful, especially when they catch the light. Each piece is handmade, heated in a kiln at a temperature over 800 C and usually takes approx. 20 to 35 hours.
