Space EC1

This kitsch independent gift shop does novelty with humour and class, and is a good bet for quick-fix presents with heart. You’ll find a cache of top-notch cards, quirk and gifty items, such as origami kits, Celia Bertwell gardening tools and gloves, Moleskin notebooks, tea cosies, knitted hot-water bottle covers, and Joseph Joseph kitchenware. Items by cult designers are high on the agenda here, with bags from Lisa Stickley, homewares and placemats from Ella Doran, as well as the cute baby fashion range by Organics for Kids. Tasteful wrapping paper rounds off Space EC1’s well-chosen selection.
