Gifts

At Needful Things, we offer a truly unique mix of inspiring gift ideas. Our emphasis is on 'you and your home' so as you browse, you'll see many things you'd also like to treat yourself to. We like traditional, classic style, but occasionally, just for fun, we add a contemporary twist!, or something wildly outrageous like a huge bronze Elephant!, or a massive Urn covered in Cherubs!

Every item in our shop can be a gift. We have ideas for all occasions: Weddings, Engagements, Anniversaries, House Warming, Leaving presents, New Births and Birthdays, and of course... Christmas, when our shop turns into a veritable feast for the senses. Scroll down to get a flavour of our gifts and then click on Christmas at Needful Things, for a glimpse of the festive fun!

When you visit our store, do make sure you allow time to dwell a while, as the longer you look, the more you'll see.
....and above all, come and have some fun!

Lamps

Our lamps come in all shapes and sizes from Bronze and Wooden lamps with silk or parchment shades to these exquisite hand blown glass lamps from Jenny Worral Designs; each lamp a masterpiece!

Room Fragrances

We can fragrance your rooms in many exciting ways; Scented Candles, Pot Pourri, Incense Sticks and even Scented Reeds!....Perhaps the most enchanting way is with these clever and stylish oil lamps from Paris.

Lampe Berger have been cleaning and fragrancing the air in French homes since the time of the Belle Epoque. Now a household name in France and proving irresistable in England too.

Bronze Figurines

Our Bronze figurines, mostly of Wild and Domestic Animals, are presented in 3 distinct ranges; Bronze/Resin Small Items, Bronze/Resin Large Items and a small collection of Soild Bronze scultures, some of which are numbered limited editions.

Plaster Plaques

Beautifully detailed plaques with images of Cherubs, Animals, Greek and Roman Scenes, Fruit, and Classic Urns etc. These plaster plaques add an opulent feel to any room.

Framed and Canvas-mounted Prints

Our range of beautifully framed or canvas-mounted prints is ever-changing to reflect the current mood in wall-hangings. We can source the exact look you need from 'French Country' to 'City Scapes', or 'Jazz-Club' through to 'Coffee-shop'.

Whatever your chosen theme or style, we can help create the 'feel' of your Home or Office, Country House or Bijou Hideaway. Traditional Framed Prints or the recent trend towards simple canvases, our prints offer the perfect solution for Classic or Modern Homes.

Ornate Mirrors

We have gilt mirrors, gothic mirrors, handpainted wood and metal mirrors. English Cream, French White and even Norwegian Blue Mirrors! (Norwegian Blue only while stocks last!)

Sculptured Candles

Candles can come in many shapes and sizes, but have you seen any shaped like asparagus?, or Olives?, or Kidney Beans?, or Coral?

Some of our candles even come fragranced like the fruit or flower they represent! (Luckily, the cabbage candles are un-scented)

Exquisite Cushions

If you need cushions to add texture or colour to a room, we can help. Textured velvets, appliqued, silks and embroidered silks are just some of the options we offer.

We have pure silk cushions with feather pads from under £20.00 but if you really want something special, consider the Exquisite range from English Home. Pure indulgence!

Lotions & Potions

Pamper yourself with sensuous lotions and potions from 'Di Palomo', an English take on the pleasures of the Mediteranean.

Or, for a country offer, try our 'Kitchen Garden' range from Fikkerts.

We always have a delicate mix of authentic-looking silk Flowers and plants to enhance your home. These include Faux Bonsai Trees and Floral Trails.
