If you’re after a backhanded birthday blessing, we’ve got you covered.
Happy birthday, have an amazing day. I hope you’re thoroughly spoilt, you wilting petal of a dinosaur fossil.

🎨 A little Beryl Cook mischief…

We’ve got a fantastic range of Beryl Cook greetings cards in the shop – full of the cheeky characters we all love.

Perfect timing too… there’s a Beryl Cook exhibition currently on at The Box in Plymouth!

Pop in and pick a card that’s guaranteed to raise a smile. Because life’s far too short for boring cards… 😉

🎄 The day arrives tomorrow, gentlemen. Christmas shopping begins.

If you’re feeling brave — we’ve got you covered with brilliant, easy wins.
If you’re not… you could go for a beer. That’s fine.
But maybe buy some cheese at least.
And please don’t leave it in the pub.

Our novelty animal spectacle holders (by IF) are fun, unexpected, and guaranteed to raise a smile — ideal for partners, parents, or anyone who’s forever asking “Where are my glasses?”

Quick in. Quick out. Hero status achieved.

A classic gift, done beautifully 🫧

Our luxury soaps are richly scented, long-lasting, and wrapped so well they almost don’t need paper. Almost.

Ideal for teachers, neighbours, hosts, or anyone who’s “impossible to buy for”. Timeless, thoughtful, and always appreciated.

A little everyday luxury — and a very sensible Christmas purchase.
