Renovation has been the name of the game for The Tutbury Present Company this year, with co-owners of the Staffordshire village gift and card shop going for it during the last lockdown.
The loyal customers of this attractive shop have been loving the revamped look of the shop, with its new flooring, revised layout and the new product selection. Here Nicky and Claire share some of the shop’s current best sellers…
Everyday
Fiori Rosa from Rosanna Rossi
“Beautiful illustrations, neon colours and lovely textures make these cards stand out.”
Fluff from Tracks Publishing
“Fresh, fun, photographic designs with added fluffy bits that are great for all ages.”
Thinking of You/Support
Words of Wisdom from Dandelion Stationery
“Perfect cards to help express your thoughts – especially in these slightly surreal times! Our ‘Hugs from Staffordshire’ design has sold particularly well.”
Humour
Holy Flaps from Redback
“Simple typography with very funny straight-talking designs.”
Gin & Frolics from Rosie Made a Thing
“Just brilliant. The ever-expanding range covers topics from houmous to Lycra, with plenty of age inappropriateness in between.”
Across the board from Icon
“We have a spinner outside the shop and the photographic humour cards do particularly well.”
Relations and Occasions
Hunky Dory from Paper Salad
“These slightly larger cards are bursting with bright colours and lots of embossing. They are suitable for all ages.”
Adult ages
Champagne from Second Nature
“Just the right amount of sparkle with hand-finished embellishments; perfect for celebrating milestones.”
Children’s
Cherry on Top from Rachel Ellen Designs
“Perfect for little ones with their cute and colourful characters in Rachel’s unique style.”
Giftwrappings
Across the board from Glick
“Great designs and quality; always refreshing the offering.”
Gifts
Amuseables from Jellycat
“Fabulous characters that are collected by both adults and children. A happy carrot can’t fail to make most people smile!”
Self-purchases
Handmade chocolates from Sarunds
“Our glass cabinet is strategically placed next to the till and resistance is futile!”
