The Great British Shop, 17 The Old High Street,
Folkestone, CT20 1RL
www.facebook.com/thegreatbritishshopltd
When you want to buy British (and more specifically Kentish), then why not
pop into the Great British Shop in Folkestone? Packed full of Union Jacks
of all shapes and sizes, there are quirky homewares and prints galore to
satisfy the most patriotic of people.
Once upon a time this West Malling gift shop was named Down Swan
Street, but after a major refurbishment and a new name it has reopened
bigger and better than before. With old favourites such as Five Dollar Shake
and Jelly Cat, as well as new lines in the furniture, homeware, and jewellery
departments, you can browse for hours. You can also buy your Christmas
cards here.
Sidcup & Co, 9 High Street, Sidcup DA14 9EN
www.sidcupandco.com
Based on Sidcup High Street, this unique little shop offers all sorts of unique
gifts that literally cannot be found anywhere else including locally produced
wine, clothing, and even baked goods.
Fremlin Walk, 62 Earl Street, Maidstone ME14 1PS
www.fremlinwalk.co.uk
Another great shopping centre in Kent’s county town of Maidstone. It’s
centrally located with disabled access and plenty of stores for you to browse.
Whatever the weather is doing, you will still be able to do all of your Christmas
shopping in the warmth of this covered shopping centre.
Canterbury Pottery, 38a Burgate, Canterbury CT1 2HW
www.canterburypottery.com
Dinner services, mugs, goblets, jugs, oven dishes… All this and more is
available at Canterbury Pottery, which is located just opposite the Cathedral
itself. You can’t get much more Kentish than that! Beautiful bowls and cute
kitchen ware is all made on site, and would be an ideal gift.
