It has been over three months since we opened the shop and we are constantly getting new visitors through our door!
It's lovely to be surrounded by such warm hearted and friendly customers that live around South Oxhey. From day one we have had curious first time passer bys popping in to see what our gift shop has to offer. We have had comments such as "you have lovely products", "your products are really unique" and "very nice shop". Everyone has been quite positive about the opening and have shown great interest in supporting us. A lot of customers ask us regularly how we are doing and they often give us good wishes! We also get customers asking if we have other shops like this and hopefully one day, we hope to say that you can visit our other shops too!

We previously had a shop in Uxbridge, for 12 years and we have also been trading online for over 5 years before opening the shop in South Oxhey. With this experience we hope we can satisfy customer needs and requests. Sometimes it can be hard to approach and ask for help, but we are there to help so always feel free to ask anything! If you don't see what you're looking for, ask us and we might just find it for you! Even if we don't have the item, we will do our best to get it for you.

We are always looking for new and in-season products and if you have any requests, please do let us know so we can bring you what you want to your doorstep! We are also looking into doing a prize draw in the upcoming weeks, so if you would like to be updated subscribe to our newsletter, our RSS feed or visit us again soon!

We hope that along with providing unique products, we can give our customers good advice as well as good customer service.

If you have any questions you can also email us here. We would love to know what you think of our shop - please do comment below and let us know your feedback!

We have been eagerly waiting for some new products to arrive. Finally they are now HERE! After a lot of requests, we have decided to offer you some Terramundi pots. Yes! Those 'smash'ing pots are now in stock!!!

These money pots have been traditionally used in Italy for over 2000 years and their hand thrown design has remained unchanged. The British Museum houses examples of these ancient money pots.



Once the first coin is dropped the money pot must be fed until full upon which time it must be smashed whilst making a wish. It is customary to replace the pot and spend the money on 'good things', they bring good fortune.
Money pots are sometimes used to house a candle or a plant once smashed. The best way to break your money pot is to get a chisel or the back of a hammer and place it inside the money slot - slowly lever the top and you should be able to pop the top off - you can now use the money pots to house a plant, sweets or pens.




Terramundi money pots are hand thrown in Italy and hand painted in London. They stand between 17cms and 19cms in height.

Each money pot contains a separate fortune card. Money pots hold approximately £200 in mixed silver.

We have selected a range of different designs and colours for you to choose from. They are available in our Filoro brick and motar shop - click here for more information and now they are available online as well.

It would be great to here your comments regarding these beautiful Terramundi pots. Whether you have experienced smashing them before or would like to in the future. Share your thoughts below.
