From kitchenware and toys, to garden accessories, beach goods and gifts, R and J Supplies is a veritable Aladdin’s cave.

The family-owned business has served Cornwall for over 50 years and the welcome from the team has never changed. Whether you are looking for essential items for your home, beach goods for summer or interior inspiration, a trip to R and J Supplies always rewards.

Plus, gift bags are three for two, while Tom Smith cards, paper and crackers are all 50% off. Doors are open now and with fresh stock arriving weekly, it is a good moment to start your festive shopping early.

JEWELLERY WITH A PURPOSE Looking for a Christmas gift with personal meaning? Justin Duance Contemporary Jewellery in Penzance creates distinctive pieces inspired by Cornwall’s coast and the stories people bring to the workshop. Founded in 2001, the business is known for wooden inlay rings and sandcasting, capturing the textures of local beaches in precious metals. Customers can incorporate their own beach sand, salvaged wood or inherited jewellery, creating pieces to treasure for years to come. Sustainability runs through the business, from recycled precious metals to carefully sourced gemstones. To mark its 25th anniversary, Justin has launched the limited-edition Sea Foam Locket, cast in recycled sterling silver. Each comes with a plastic nurdle collected from Mounts Bay, highlighting pollution often mistaken for natural beach finds. Just 25 have been made, with all profits donated to Surfers Against Sewage.

rock
Kiss goodbye to the preconceived idea of what a ready-made cocktail is, and say hello to these fabulous new concoctions from Rock Distillery!
S
imply chill, pour and enjoy. They’ve done the hard work for you! First out of the bottle are four amazing cocktails, all based around the Blue Agave Flower.
Rock Margarita The classic Margarita gets the Rock treatment! Their Agave Spirit is blended with bespoke, small-batch Triple Sec and finished with fresh lime juice to create the perfect balance of citrus, sweetness and a little zing. Salt the rim of your glass, pour over ice, and enjoy. Cheers! Rock Colada Fancy a little taste of the tropics? Then the Rock Colada is calling! A fun twist on the much-loved Piña Colada, combining their Blue Agave Spirit with coconut water and pineapple juice. Pour, chill, sit back and let your taste buds take a little holiday.

14/10/2026 10:36
CHRISTMAS GUIDE Rock Sunrise A cocktail that looks as good as it tastes! Rock Sunrise combines Agave Spirit with their inhouse pomegranate syrup and fresh orange juice. The delicate hint of pink is a nod to the first glow of the sun rising and, of course, the glass being raised to celebrate another day. Best enjoyed with plenty of ice and absolutely no plans for the afternoon! Rock Moscow Mule And finally… one for those who like their cocktails with a little more attitude! Their Rock Moscow Mule combines Agave Spirit with fresh ginger distillate and is given a proper kick with their unique chilli pepper macerate. Fresh, fiery and definitely not one to underestimate! If you want to find Christmas in a bottle, look no further! Rock the Spirit is the answer! Your mince pie will never taste the same again without this rum based liqueur! For another amazing rum-based tipple, look no further than their Rock coffee liqueur for an instant Espresso Martini, and if you feel like a double Espresso, add some Rock White Espresso rum. For the perfect aperitif, why not try Rock Negroni. This classic takes an instant cocktail to new heights of finesse! First, they distil their classic London dry gin, then create their own bitter and combine it with their Vermouth to create a haunting swirl of flavour and a bitter close. If you prefer a citrusy start to the evening, then try Rock Lemongino or Orangino, again a ginbased liqueur with either two and a half fresh lemons or fresh oranges and tangerines. An aperitif for the Whiskey lovers is the Rock Whiskey sour made with pink grapefruit and lemons for that zesty
delight. Peanut whiskey liqueur remains a standout favourite. For a truly elevated evening pour, pair your glass with a side of salted peanuts to perfectly balance the rich, sweet notes. As with the whiskey sour and peanut whiskey, their whiskey warmer is also crafted from their signature single malt whiskey; this blend features the soothing warmth of local honey and zesty ginger. It is the ultimate comforting nightcap – perfect for a cosy evening unwind, or simply because you deserve a delicious treat. Look out for more exciting updates from Rock Distillery as they continue to bring you the finest spirits Cornwall has to offer.

CHRISTMAS GUIDE
CHRISTMAS, WITH
CHARACTER Independent shopping brings a little colour and personality to the festive season.
T
here is something about Christmas that makes finding the right present feel especially satisfying. At The Grey Lurcher, the process begins months in advance, with careful thought given to the things that might make someone smile when they open the door on Christmas morning. The independent gift shop is the sort of place where a visit can easily turn into an unexpected find. Its shelves are filled throughout the year with colourful and characterful pieces, ranging from contemporary designs to more traditional gifts, with plenty to catch the eye during the festive season. For those looking for a Secret Santa present or a small stocking filler, there are gifts for less than £10, while those wanting something more personal will find plenty of options at higher price points. There is also room for a
little self-indulgence: the kind of treat that feels entirely justified after a difficult week. Christmas brings an extra layer of decoration to the shop, with seasonal garlands, candles, colourful tissue paper and wrapping paper adding to the sense of occasion. Cards and homeware sit alongside the gifts, making it possible to find those final details for the house as well as presents for family and friends. There is a pleasingly old-fashioned idea behind independent shopping: taking the time to browse, finding something that feels individual and knowing that the money spent is helping a local business. For Christmas shoppers heading up to the old High Street, The Grey Lurcher offers a chance to do just that, with plenty to discover along the way. This Christmas, the shop is ready for its busiest and most colourful time of year, with its shelves stocked for anyone still searching for that little something.

or anyone who finds Christmas shopping easier with a bottle in mind, Shillingham Vineyard offers a distinctly Cornish answer. Tucked along the River Lynher at Antony Passage, this young, family-run farm is led by the Ramsden siblings – a passionate team invigorating the region's wine scene with an authentic, down-toearth spirit. Crucially, every bottle begins right here on the riverbanks, crafted exclusively from 100% Cornish-grown grapes cultivated on their own land. Whether hosting for the holidays or searching for a thoughtful gift, Shillingham’s current line-up delivers something memorable. Their signature bottle and best-seller, a dry, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, and their elegant Chardonnay both pair beautifully with a traditional Christmas turkey. Meanwhile, their vibrant Pinot Noir Rosé makes a brilliant match for a smoked trout starter or a festive fruity dessert. With exciting new releases in the pipeline, including a Classic Cuvée sparkling, a still Pinot Noir, and a Pinot Gris, it’s a range made for discovering.
SOMETHING WORTH
SHARING
Distinctive Cornish wines and guided riverbank experiences from an ambitious young family farm.
For an experience to look forward to, Shillingham’s guided vineyard tours, running from May through to September, offer a wonderfully welcoming, downto-earth day out. Far removed from rigid, corporate tastings, these personal, team-guided walks give guests an authentic look at the working farm, culminating in a tasting of three to five wines overlooking the very slopes where the grapes are grown. Their flexible gift vouchers offer the gift of choice, letting recipients pick their favourite bottles or book a future tour. Shillingham also caters directly to bespoke corporate orders, tailored hampers, and custom gifts, making it effortless to share a genuine piece of Cornwall with clients, friends, or family this Christmas. Whether sharing a bottle or gifting a tour, Shillingham offers something that is simple, genuine, and beautifully Cornish.
