SUNSHINE NO.1 REVIEWS

Sunshine no.1 is such a fantastic shop! Really lovely selection all made by small Scottish businesses, and there’s something new every visit. Suzy is fantastic too - very warm and friendly. She has a story about every item in the shop, it’s great to get a bit of an insight into the person who made what you are buying.

The most wonderful gift shop with original Scottish sourced products. The staff /owner can’t be more helpful! AND fantastic online shop with again prompt, helpful service. Highly recommended!

A small but amazing shop of unique gifts all made by local artists. Tea towels, art work, cards, jewelry, chocolate, and so much more. Definitely worth a stop. And the service was lovely too.

MAIA GIFTS REVIEWS

This is a cute little shop with various gift options. I got a mug there for myself and it is gorgeous. If you are around this area definitely do give a visit. You might end up definitely getting something for yourself or someone you thought of! They have a variety of things in there … from jewellery, mugs, stuffed toys, souvenirs to key chains and decors. I have added my mug below.

Some unique, ladies run, gift shop with a nice assortment of simple but very high quality and meaningful gits, from jewelery, gadgets, toys, cosmetics and clothes. Very helpful and welcoming staff. Strongly recommended.

It’s one of the cutest and best shops in Glasgow that sells local souvenirs. Had a great time shopping and browsing gift ideas.

VELVET MOON REVIEWS

I love this shop- beautiful range of gifts, cards, art, jewellery etc. Thank goodness it is opened after lockdown, I was fed up buying cards from the supermarket. Brenda is so helpful when picking out special gifts and there is gives wonderful information on the artists or the piece that you buy. It's just a pleasure to go in. Even from the outside it lights up the area in Finnieston. Go in and see, you will love it!

Quaint store with lots of character. Lovely collection of gifts and small nick nacks for gifting and some fancy soaps and candles.

Brilliant wee shop in the heart of Finnieston. We've bought a few gifts for friends and family here. The staff are really friendly, chatty and helpful. If you're looking for a gift that is a wee bit different then this is definitely a great place.
