Tasteful, unusual, but small presents (for adults)-Pedlars type stuff-any thoughts?

[Fillyjonk]

Pedlars for the uninitated

need quite small but "nice" presents, iykwim. I am struggling to describe what I mean really. Not stuff on boots 3-for-2.

What other websites are there like this? Am thinking etsy but need IDEAS for presents too.

Thoughts?

I haven't been to Pedlars for ages - I used to love their nightshirts ! sorry,that's not helpful. I like lapin and me for quirky odd things for my women friends, but don't think that's what you meant ?

etsy or folksy?

Plumo (again, best for women/girls).

Re-Found, has lovely unusual bits and bobs.

all very good, keep them coming!

One of the reciepents has just come upstairs, btb

oh yes, Plumo is lovely...

Rockett St George.

Lovely home stuff at The perfect pad.

Some nice stuff, and some slightly weird (poss even slightly offensive if you don't find it funny) at Twisted Twee (can you tell I have a whole folder of bookmarks called 'nice stuff to buy'?)

More gorgeous stuff for the home at Forma House

Ladybird prints (can MNers still get a discount?)

oh these are just wonderful

I LOVE the ladybird prints. Am going through Re-Found now, there is such lovely stuff out there!

I have a rule for this christmas that , for adults, I will only do Christmas shopping that I enjoy

thank you all

off to browse

Nicky Grace (quite bunting and cupcakes, but lovely nevertheless).

oh FGS at folksy

My own christmas list has expanded to include "tote bags with singing birds" and "london gift tags"

There's altogether too much lovely stuff out there, isn't there .

Plumo is beautiful.

Aspen and Brown if you like home type stuff.

Cox and Cox.

Fab mugs.

Lovely stuff! Now I need a website which will let me choose a few rich men who want to buy me this stuff. Any suggestions?

jackie I am rofl at idea of buying any of those for my...thrifty...somewhat puritanical...MIL. She bascially thinks that EVERYTHING is a waste of money except perhaps 9p white sliced bread.

I am hoping to convince her otherwise but I KNOW that whatever I buy will be met with slightly pursed lips and an "Oh. I see. I hope it wasn't TOO expensive."

(perhaps I should just buy her a loaf of Asda value bread)

Bombay Duck. Again, better for females!

thorsten van elten

papastour

I'm loving all these! Have retreated with my laptop on the pretext of Sorting Christmas this afternoon, but can see I'm going to emerge with a whole list of things purely for myself...

My additions to the MN Directory of Lovely Online Shops are...

the bloomsbury store

not on the high street

and my new favourite... snowhome

oh dear

I want lots of things now
