"This shop is amazing. They have an eye for wonderful gifts. I always visit this shop when I'm in Ambleside, even though I know I'll spend money. Staff are lovely too!"
Ordered a beautiful puzzle on Tuesday during lockdown and it arrived on Thursday. Amazing customer service, will definitely be a repeat customer.
Hands down one of the best gift shops I’ve been in. Unique products, always something different to see and lovely service. I only wish it was a bit closer to home to be able to pop in more often!
