In our shop we're keeping to the standards we've set in the tearoom since 1996. We have tried to track down a range of gifts that are ~ stylish ~ contemporary ~ and above all practical. Not the usual type of souvenir, but things that you can take home, at affordable prices, and use in your home.

TABLEWARE
Three quite different styles. GREEN GLASS of Cornwall make tumblers and goblets from 100% recycled wine or beer bottles, all packed in cartons made from recycled cardboard. From MARTIN GULLIVER DESIGNS we have teapots, jugs, cups and saucers, kitchenware and oven-to-table ware in bright spots, stripes and multi-colour check. The range now includes porcelain mugs and tableware. We have chosen LISA STICKLEY bone china mugs for their simple lines and quirky messages written inside the mugs. And every time we go to France we look out for the sort of china you just don't find in this country.

GREETINGS CARDS
Again, three different styles. CAROLINE GARDNER makes cool birthday cards for children ~ especially for younger boys and girls. GAUDIUM is a range of gentle images and quiet humour: all blank inside for your own message. SPRING CHICKEN cards offer sly messages for those of a certain age. You're bound to know somebody for whom a Spring Chicken or Prime card has been individually designed !

JEWELLERY and CERAMICS
The GREEN GLASS collection from Cornwall includes bracelets and necklaces made from recycled glass. RICHARD WILSON lives in Abbotsbury, and we stock smaller items from his range of individually hand-thrown earthenware, and we have a selection of the intricate fruit, cheese and vegetable bottle stopppers from MERRYFIELD POTTERY in Paignton.

STATIONERY and SKETCHBOOKS
PAPERBLANKS notebooks are unashamed luxury ~ these are really high quality notebooks, sketch books and address books bound inside dramatic covers, with textured and detailed imaging taken from French silk, Thai gems, Irish illuminated manuscripts or oriental jewellery. Sizes vary from "mini" for the pocket up to A4-size. The PINK PIG range offers sketch books in a different style ~ high quality cartridge paper ring-bound in stout card wrapped in handmade paper with a wide choice of colours. We stock two different sizes, both square and both small enough to fit in a pocket.

LOTHANTIQUE - Editeur de Parfum
A range of soaps, body lotions and hand creams from the heart of Provence. Lavender, rose or white flowers - and the "Le Collectioneur" range for men.
