Toys, gifts and much more

Originally just a toy shop, we have expanded our range to include gifts and homewares. We have greeting cards created by local artists and local produce such as honey, jams and chutneys too.

We choose our toys to help expand small minds through play. Our selection of toys includes lovely traditional wooden toys, Schleich animals and figurines, Orchard Toys games and puzzles, Green Toys vehicles and a great assortment of pocket money toys.

We have picked a wide range of items perfect for birthday gifts or a special treat for loved ones (or yourself!). From cushions to throws, candles to reed diffusers, cookery books to decorative jugs, there is something for all tastes and budgets.
