Valentine’s Day always sneaks up quietly, then suddenly it is everywhere. Hearts in the window, pink tissue paper on the counter, and a steady stream of customers looking for something that says I saw this and thought of you. Behind the scenes, it is one of our favourite moments of the year.

Some days the shop feels like its own little world, shelves shifting with the seasons, new treasures arriving quietly and the soft rhythm of everyday magic. If you enjoy those moments as much as we do, you can now follow along with us in a few cosy corners online.

With our January Sale now finished, we’re turning our attention to what’s next at The Giving Tree. Trade show season is underway and new lines are already starting to arrive in store.

As the festive season begins to sparkle, Sundays in town start to feel a little more magical. Soft lights, slower footsteps and that lovely, cosy sense that Christmas is getting closer. So this year, we’re opening our doors every Sunday from 10am to 3pm to make your Christmas shopping a little easier, calmer and much more enjoyable.

Autumn has a way of sweeping in quietly and then suddenly filling the shop with colour. Halloween arrived in a whirl of pumpkins and playful little treasures, bringing that lovely, slightly chaotic energy we secretly enjoy. It’s a season that never takes itself too seriously and neither do we!

If websites could talk, ours would probably be sighing with relief and asking for a nap. After months of tweaking, testing, and muttering things not suitable for polite company, The Giving Tree’s brand new website is finally live!

Every shop has a beginning, but The Giving Tree’s story starts somewhere quieter. Not with stockrooms or suppliers, but with Sam, a treatment couch, a handful of handmade pieces taken to local markets, simply because they made people smile. She didn’t know it then, but something much bigger was already growing.
