Our bestselling handmade felted animals are lovingly needle-felted in Scotland and full of character. From sleeping foxes and cosy cats to puffins and hares, each piece is individually crafted, making every one completely unique.
Our lovely collection of The Lazy Fox scented candles are hand-poured right here in Scotland, crafted in small batches with care and character. Each one is designed to turn an ordinary evening into something softer, warmer, slower. The kind of light that makes rain on the windows feel romantic rather than relentless.
Our Stravaig Slippers are beautifully hand crocheted in Scotland using traditional crochet techniques. Soft, cost and full of character, they're perfect for keeping your toes warm during the chilly Scottish evenings.

Incredibly cute story with a really great silver jewelry selection. The owner is so nice, absolutely must stop by shop if you’re in town!

I absolutely Love this shop, full of joyful gifts, local crafts and cards. It also has a lovely array of incense, beautiful silver jewelry and a good range of woolies for the cold weather. The staff have allways been lovely to chat with and I've been visiting for years, as it's perfect for unique last min gifts and cards 😊
