Key rings, firepits, wall hangings. Some cheap but lovely keyrings, I have a mountain scene one and then more expensive stuff. He also does custom stuff.

Thanks for the thread, I'm truly fed up of Amazon shopping.

I'd like to recommend www.willowbeautyproducts.co.uk. They are an organic soap/skincare/bath products company for women. They also do a mens' range. If you want organic, vegan products that contain no palm oil, microbeads or parabens then they are worth a look. Lovely sets too.

This is a lovely wee Scottish shop, lots of tweed (but not tacky!)

Driftwood designs sell Welsh art, cards and homeware. Their canvas prints are great. The quality is lovely and all the designs are original by the co-owner artist.
