Sidmouth Gifts

About

Looking for something a little bit different?

Sidmouth Gifts is a long established independent gift shop. Run by the current owners for eight years, it’s a treasure trove for colourful and quirky gifts so you’re bound to find something that you simply can’t resist.

We have become known for our range of collectible bears and soft toys. Taking pride of place among our ‘hug’ are our limited edition Steiff bears. These are often globally limited to less than a thousand and sometimes as few as two hundred. Pop in and check out our stock. You may be lucky and find a limited edition Rupert the Bear, characters from Paddington and the Peter Rabbit movies, or even a Shrek! These are perfect for the serious collector or for anyone looking for that special christening, anniversary or birthday present. We also have a range of traditional Steiff teddy bears and a full range of Steiff plush soft toys, perfect for new-borns and young children.

In addition to Steiff, we stock Merrythought bears. Made in Shropshire, England, these are an affordable premium product, full of character. Some have a growl and a few are limited. Come in and find out which is your favourite!

Because we know how much some children love to spend their pocket money on soft toys, we have several completely affordable plush brands of soft toys too. Well made, colourful and endearing.

We have teamed up with several teddy bear artists who create individual tiny bears for us. We favour bright colours and bears who are fun and quirky. Besides more obvious mini-teddies, we have a few badgers, donkeys, beavers, witches, wizards and hula bears. These fit on your hand. Whichever one you pick, rest assured that it will be a one-off. Every single bear is different!

As well as both Steiff and Gund Beatrix Potter soft toys—again perfect for new-borns and christenings—we have a good range of Beatrix Potter figurines and gift ideas. We have a limited selection of fairies and dragons too. Check out our ‘witchy’ cabinet and see what spooks you.

Sidmouth Gifts have a good range of Wrendale cards and gifts and we stock local Devon artist, Simon Drew, too. We have signed Simon Drew books, along with coasters, tea towels, playing cards, calendars and note blocks.

If you’re looking for something a little bit special we have a wonderfully bright and bubbly range of tea towels from Jersey artists, Molly Mac.

Tucked in the corner is our football grotto. We have memorabilia from some of the top British clubs so if you’re stuck on what to get a young (or not so young) football crazy relative for Christmas, it is well worth having a look.

Want to sweeten up your better half? We have some luscious candles and soaps, bath blasters and fair trade incense, along with incense holders and drawer sachets.

For visitors to the town and to Devon generally, we have a full range of gifts to take home, many in designs that are unique to us and made in the UK. Tea towels, mugs, coasters, locally produced fudge and biscuits, pens, postcards, calendars, snow globes and magnets.

And because we know a house is not a home without a furry friend, dog and cat lovers will be thrilled with our fabulous stock of little gifts for pet lovers. We have doggie bandanas made in the West Country along with coasters, little ‘saying’ blocks, tea towels, candles, signs and mugs.

We also have jewellery, jigsaws, family games, books and names in frames. Sidmouth Gifts? That’s just another souvenir shop you might think. Wrong! We’re a gift shop in Sidmouth and there’s so much more to us than you might think.
