♥️Meet the Owners♥️
Hello! We’re Nick and Nichola, the husband-and-wife team behind Adore Gift Shop and The Wise Donkey.
As parents to three children, family and community are at the heart of everything we do. Nick has been running his own businesses for over 15 years, and Nichola has spent the last 20 years working as an Early Years teacher, helping children develop a lifelong love of learning and reading.
The idea for our shop came from the many wonderful independent gift shops we’ve visited on family trips to the Dales and the Lake District. We loved finding unique gifts, beautiful homeware, and special treats, and we dreamed of creating somewhere with that same feeling right here in Pen*stone.
Whether you're searching for the perfect gift, a little something for yourself, a new favourite book, or a special toy, we hope our shop is the place where everyone feels welcome.
Thank you for supporting local, independent businesses like ours. Every visit, purchase, recommendation and kind word means the world to our family.
We look forward to seeing you soon! ❤️
Nick & Nichola
Open tomorrow 9:30-4pm
