(And no, there wasn’t any champagne… or biscuits.)

On 13th October 2025, I swapped my packing tape for a posh frock (well, top and trousers and don't tell anyone but I had Converse on my feet 😂) and headed off to the Prestige Awards, where Eclectic Gift Store was named a winner!

Now, before you picture red carpets and champagne towers, let’s be real: I paid £5 for parking (that turned out to be free), there was help-yourself tea, coffee and water… and not a biscuit in sight.

But the lack of snacks didn’t dampen the mood because walking away with this award was the real treat. It’s lovely recognition for all the colour, chaos and creativity that goes into bringing you our fun, feel-good collections.

Here’s to small businesses making a big splash and to remembering to check the parking signs next time. 🚗✨
