Scottish gifts delivered to England

I’m self isolating just now before a small op w/c 14th Dec so I’ll be at home for another 2 weeks at least. Can any of you lovelies recommend some Scottish/Glasgow businesses where I can order and they deliver direct to England? Probably not alcohol based. I’d like to use Scottish producers rather than generic M & S, Waitrose if possible.
Thank you

I love Anta.
Some of the pottery is expensive but they do beautiful little Christmas tree decorations for £10.
I’ve bought them for friends in England and abroad and everyone has loved them.
Definitely Scottish, based around Inverness, I think and deliver across the UK.

Gillian Kyle does nice things with tea cake
designs on them - everything from mugs and tea towels to baby gros. they've been well received in the past by exiled Scots down south

It can sometimes be difficult to get companies to deliver to a 3rd party address as it can be a scam using stolen card details.

If it's any use, Post office now do a parcel collection service if you are able to prepay the postage. They do charge but I don't think it's a huge amount.

Places like Hermes etc also will do a pick up delivery service.

Just to give you some more options :)

I’m on a lovely Facebook group called “Made in Strathbungo”, where very talented people sell their handcrafted knits, cushions etc.

The Croft House sell fabulous jumper and knitted stuff, not cheap, but fabulous.

The Tartan Blanket Company is lovely and great for gifts! They're based in Edinburgh I think!

Thank you all so much. I’m sorted and accidentally ended up ordering some lovely things for myself too!

This company sells fab products. I especially like the solid hand cream bars.

I’ve just bought the in-laws a few bits from here as it looked really interesting. www.scottishbeecompany.co.uk/

The lovely Independent Zebra in Stockbridge has loads of Scottish stuff and does online.

I also managed to search by location on Etsy the other day and found an Edinburgh based lampshade maker (thought I’d save the postage) so you could do the same for other things if you knew what you were looking for.

Some good ideas here
