The festive season is a time for celebration, togetherness, and creativity. What better way to embrace the run up to the big day than with an enjoyable art and craft session? Our Christmas workshops offer a great opportunity to make your own decorations or create personalised gifts while enjoying the company of people who share your love of crafting.

Coming to a Christmas workshop at Coastal Craft Collective isn’t just about making things. It’s an opportunity to meet people, celebrate creativity, and make memories. So why not take the time to experience the joy of crafting, celebrate with old and new friends and leave with festive creations that will bring joy for years to come.

At Coastal Craft Collective, we understand the joy of buying souvenirs of Devon.

For visitors, souvenirs serve as lovely mementos of time spent in the beautiful county of Devon. For locals they are a celebration of the amazing place they live. Souvenirs remind us of the places we've been, the experiences we've had, and the special moments we've shared with loved ones.

We pride ourselves on offering a diverse selection of affordable Devon souvenirs. From fun collectibles like magnets, bookmarks and keyrings to handmade ceramics, pebble pictures and driftwood signs. For those with a sweet tooth, we have Devon fudge, shortbread, traditional seaside rock, honey, jams and marmalades. There are also cute and cuddly Devon teddy bears, pencils, notebooks, tea towels and home decor. 

Great teachers play an important role in children's lives. They help them understand the world, give them a valuable education and offer the support they need to grow.

So when the end of the school year or the festive season comes around, there's no better way to show your appreciation for their amazing work than with a small thank you gift.

But it can be hard to think of gift ideas for teachers, especially when you're keeping an eye on costs or you're not sure what they'd like. That goes double if you're looking to buy for more than one teacher.

Well, you're in luck. At Coastal Craft Collective, finding gifts for teachers is easy! Many of our small thank you gifts are also handmade, making them even more special. 

Wherever you live or if you're looking to decorate a holiday home, beach hut or caravan, coastal decor can bring a touch of timeless tranquillity and natural colour to your home inside and out.

Coastal designs can evoke memories of enjoyable beach holidays and seaside adventures. Incorporating accessories that remind you of special times can make a room feel uniquely yours. It's a wonderful way to keep those happy memories alive in your everyday surroundings. 

Handmade jewellery holds a charm and character that mass-produced items simply cannot replicate. At Coastal Craft Collective, we celebrate the beauty and individuality of handcrafted pieces that not only look great and are superb quality but can also tell a story.

When it comes to finding the perfect present, nothing is as thoughtful or has the personal touch of a unique handmade gift. 

For those special occasions that require a truly unique gift, and where time allows, some of our talented local makers are willing to create items to order for you.

As you plan your hen do, consider diving into the world of crafting, where each activity is an opportunity to make memories as vibrant and lasting as the pieces you create together. We believe that every hen weekend should be filled with moments of joy, creativity, and bonding. That's why we're recommending art and craft sessions as the perfect complement to your hen celebrations.

Crafting together isn't just a peaceful retreat; it's a way to strengthen bonds and share in the joy of the bride-to-be's upcoming special day.
