Hand made design and special gifts for you and your home with an emphasis on a wonderful selection of woollen throws.
Our selection of lovely woollen throws and unusual small gifts will indeed add a thing of beauty to your home, or provide an unusual gift to delight the recipient.

Supporting Scottish and British design and craft - everything that you see on this site is made in Britain, supporting U.K. crafts and small manufacturers to provide a selection of unusual products that you will probably not find in your local shop.

Our products will give your home a touch of individuality. The emphasis is on mixing the traditional and the contemporary - good design applied to simple products using honest materials. We specialise in a wonderful range of woollen throws, plus unusual small gifts - from horn spoons to wooden boxes to striking stationery and handprinted textiles - small, delightful and inexpensive gifts to indulge yourself and your family. And quirky items to make you smile.

Our Scottish home - we are based in the pretty East Lothian village of Dirleton, overlooking the famous sea bird sanctuary of the Bass Rock. But we have gathered together gifts from throughout the British Isles. Enjoy!
