Gift Ideas
All manner of items that would make nice gifts are available all year round. Unusual & quirky, luxurious or practical, get ideas from the list below & elsewhere on this site.
Male Gifts
A few novelty type gifts for men. We usually have hip flasks, cufflinks, hats, scarves & pocket watches. This Kick-Boxing outfit would make a fine gift for someone practicing the sport.
Female Gifts
Coursets & basques make lovely gifts if you know their size. If not then scarves & handbags are a good choice. This pure silk oriental gown would make a special present for a loved one.
Gift boxes & Jewellery
Ornate boxes to fill with jewellery as a gift, or just as they are. Larger musical jewellery boxes & stands are also often in stock. Choose from our semi-precious vintage jewellery collection.
Special Occasion Gifts
Fine English bone china makes a perfect wedding gift. This 'Parragon' set in a hamper was brand new. Ask about boxed 'Mismatch' sets that offer a mixture of patterns, set to a colour scheme.
Seasonal Gifts
Children love an Advent calender, with pockets full of sweets. This Saddler teapot, polar bear money box & Christmas plate are all collectable items. Drinking glasses or cake stands are also popular.
Dog Gifts
We have cute doggy coats & hats, or fancy dress outfits around Christmas time, for our very bemused four legged friends. Or you could fill one of these dog bowls full of treats for them?
Gifts for the Home
Many items to choose from all year round, that will make inspired gifts for someone's home. These quirky ceramics & bits of kitchenalia are always popular.
Unusual Gifts
The odd shaped picnic hamper, the very kitch smoking donkey, or chrome skull piggy bank make very unusual gifts. But you won't beat this lampshade made from a gurd for originality.
Arty Gifts
Framed art work by unknown artists or 'limited edition' framed prints, can make great gifts. Or maybe buy an empty frame to fill with a photo or your own art.
Crafty Gifts
We have vintage patterns & sometimes vintage dress fabrics, that would be an inspired gift for any dress maker. Or maybe a vintage sewing basket, with some buttons & bits already in it?
Smaller Gifts
Always a few smaller interesting bits, like the Russian doll 'horse' set, beach-hut money boxes, or dolls-house bits. Jewellery stands, pill boxes or teddy key-rings are also nice gifts.
