My favourite shop in Whitby! All of the staff are friendly and helpful. The shop has the most gorgeous items and my house is filled with them. Everything is quality made and the prices are reasonable. I’ll definitely be popping back soon! 🌊

I've bought a number of gifts from this independent business, both from the lovely shop in Whitby (worth checking out if your in the area) and the on-line store. All were very high quality and reasonably priced (with very prompt despatch for the things I've bought on-line). Staff couldn't be more helpful and knowledgeable. Website regularly updated with new products. Would definitely recommend.

Popped in yesterday with my two daughters. Gosh what a beautiful shop. It has the most wonderful items in. After my purchase of three vases, two candle holders, a mug & various candles we went home happy customers. Can’t wait to take a look at their website. It’s well worth finding when visiting Whitby
