Affordable Devon Souvenirs

Affordable Devon Souvenirs

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. 

Gift Ideas for Teachers and Teaching Assistants

Gift Ideas for Teachers and Teaching Assistants

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.

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.
