The Consortium
A treasure drove on Jewry Street, jam packed with homewares, accessories, sweet treats, clothes, jewellry and more. Perfect for all the magpie mamas out there! We can't even pick our favourite products because, honestly, we're adding everything to our basket!
The Hambledon
Does it even need an introduction? The Hambledon is a Winchester institution and our go-to for sweet little gifts. From heavenly smellies to dreamy homeware and clothes! They've just started stocking Louise Misha upstairs and we can't decide what to ask for this Mother's Day; a Summer dress or one of their amazing new floor cushions, maybe both?
Sass & Edge
An unlimited gift voucher for Sass & Edge would be the ultimate gift! We're not sure if that exists but it should. Their SS collection is full of fresh new colours and don't even get us started on the shoes. Pop in and pick up something for Sunday, for guaranteed brownie points!
H&B Style
Another shop that is FULL of treasures. Everything from cool lighting to pretty cushions. We especially love their make up bags! You can find them just off the high street on St Thomas' Street.
Ellie and Bea
Another St Thomas' Street diamond! The ladies at Ellie and Bea are trained at the London College of Style, so when it comes to clothes they know a thing or two about what looks good. If you're looking for some inspiration, or don't know where to start finding something they'll love, we can't recommend these ladies enough!
The General Store
Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words... Seriously though, don't forget the wine! The General store is also one of our favourites for a Sunday morning wander, it's always one of the first places to open. Pick up a coffee and a pastry and go for a sunny stroll; an idyllic start to Mother's Day!
I hope we've given you a little inspiration for local gifting. We're massive supporters of shopping small, for obvious reasons! If there are any amazing Winchester (or Hampshire!) businesses we've missed off our list, shoot us a DM on Instagram!
