Birmingham has become a popular city for weekend breaks, with tourists from this country and around the world. We have always sourced gifts that have been made locally, but now we have found a need for gifts for our visitors remember the city by.
*
These ceramic tea light holders have images of some of our most famous buildings, including the new Library, Town hall and Selfridges building.
*
Or how about one of these witty mugs ?
*
*
We have some amusing "Brummie" cards too.
*
( some censorship may be required !)
*
There is an interesting range of limited edition photographs of local views and landmarks.
*
*
Our range of In House clocks , both stylish and practical , are locally designed and crafted.
*
*
Many of our bronze sculptures are cast in a foundry in the centre of Birmingham's jewellery quarter.
*
*
We have a constantly changing collection of vintage silver - jewellery, cufflinks, napkin rings and silver topped glass bottles. Many of these have Birmingham hallmarks and make lovely gifts.
*
*
Local jewellers Nick Hubbard Designs( who come from a little further afield but almost Birmingham) create the most individual and quirky pieces which are highly desired by many of our local customers.

We would also like to claim Paul Jenkins ! He actually hails from the Black Country, but we have adopted him as a Brummie ! He works both in bronze and raku ceramic. His pieces are fabulous and would suit any house anywhere in the world ...

And when you come and visit Birmingham, the new metro line will deliver you practically to the bottom of the arcade.
Come and say hello !
