Electrodec

Twinkling lights in the dark! If ever there is a time to stop a minute and think about a remarkable retailer, it's now.

The shop has changed with the times. However, it's clear excellent customer service has been at the very heart of this place and still is, nothing is too much trouble. They have given us a truly…

Kemps on the Coast.

Don't miss this hidden gem! … There are so many things to see and shops to shop in the beautiful town of Whitby it's hard to know which direction to take.Walking across the swing bridge over the River Esk, admiring the views of the harbour and town I was feeling excited about finding another perfect gift and happy with myself for being so organised this year! As I stood at the crossroads, I noticed a sign which indicated that Kemps on the Coast was down a winding street to the right of me and today, this is where I'm heading.…

Lilly’s Treasures

Lilly's Treasures Handmade Gift Boutique Some of my family will ask me what I want for Christmas? I always answer this question the same way, and here's how. "I would love a surprise", I hear a quiet sigh, this does not seem to sit quite right. So I'm asked to give a clue as to what I need or want? I sigh this time, " a surprise would be lovely", the conversation will continue until I stop and think, mmm, do I need anything? Should I answer with "save your money, I'm ok" or "how much are you spending on…

The Perfect Gift. 🎁

From Perfect Places 😍 As a lover of independent retailers, I have always had a soft spot for Whitby and fancied a trip out to start off my Christmas Shopping. I think it's the charm of the cobbled streets and being able to discover unique gifts that I know would be perfect for my loved ones. I started off down Sandgate and the fabulous window displays at Doorstep Adventures caught my attention. On entering the shop I received a warm, friendly greeting that instantly made me feel welcome. Everything in the shop is displayed beautifully to inspire you, I knew instantly…

What is a ‘Traditional Christmas’?

Christmas is a time of traditions. So many of us have grown up with our own individual family's traditions - those little things we feel we have to do every year, even if no one remembers why!

Meet Pixie and Patch! ♥️

After a difficult year, we wrote an extraordinary letter to the North Pole this year and asked if there was a teeny tiny chance that Santa might be able to spare a sprinkling of snow and glitter... but boy, has he delivered! This year in Scarborough, there will be some exceptional visitors....namely the friendly and charismatic elves Pixie and Patch! We hope this little bit of Christmas cheer will give everyone a chance to rejoice and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas...family. 🥰 So, what are you waiting for? It's time for everyone to get All Aboard the Christmas Express!…
