Questions

What do you buy someone who has everything?

Something they cannot already own: a one-off piece, or work in a craft on the Heritage Crafts Red List, made by one of the few people in Britain who still practise it. Everything here is made by hand, and many pieces are the only one of their kind.

What is a good present for a man who has everything?

Something he will use every day, such as a solid wood box for a watch and cufflinks, or a piece for the wall, such as an original painting of a place he knows.

What can I give my dad when he says he wants nothing?

A painting of a place that matters to him, painted from your own photograph, is one of the few presents that is about him rather than the shop. Several of our makers take commissions like this.

Who makes these pieces?

Each one is made by hand in Britain by the maker named on it. You can read about every maker on their page, and message them directly from any piece.

Will it arrive in time for Christmas?

For delivery in time for Christmas 2026, order ready-to-ship pieces by Monday 14 December 2026 for UK addresses, and by Friday 4 December 2026 for the United States. Made-to-order pieces and commissions take longer, so message the maker before you order if it is a present.

The Haud Almanack: November Events

The Lord Mayor's gilded State Coach of 1757, tar barrels in Ottery St Mary and Hatherleigh, and St Clement's Day at the last water-powered forge in England: three November outings where a Red List craft is the reason to go.
