It’s filled with books, homeware, stationery, quality food and drink, and of course, soaps and fragrances. You don’t need to visit the museum to shop with us and everyone is welcome.

Agnes & Cat

Agnes & Cat have the perfect gift for any occasion. Handmade in England using natural ingredients which are vegan friendly, all wrapped up in pretty eco conscious packaging. Treat your body and mind with one of our luscious lip balms, or a quick aromatherapy experience with one of our essential oil roll-ons or how about a delightful long relaxing soak in the bath, using one of the bath salts range which comes complete with its own little wooden scoop.

If it’s fragrance for your home you’re after, Agnes and Cat’s soy wax candles come in a handy kilner jar and have a lovely long burn time, or choose from the beautiful range of ever popular reed diffusers with eco-friendly black fibre reeds and delightful fragrances.

Vintage cleaning products

Were things always better in the olden days? Did Grandma always know best? With a range of vintage cleaning products, we think perhaps she did. We’ve curated a fabulous range of houshold products which hark back to yesteryear, to bring those memories flooding back. As well as our best selling Sunlight Soap, you can choose from Antiquax furniture polish, Black Stove & Grate Polish, Old Craftsmen’s White Ring, Brasso, and Silvo to name a few. Pop in and check the range out before rolling up your sleeves and getting to cleaning.

A Blackbird Sang

Keen gardeners regularly visit Port Sunlight to take in the landscapes and beautiful rose gardens, and they have also loved A Blackbird Sang’s new range of nature inspired metal decorations for the garden or for indoor plants too. Inspirational leaf quotes make a lovely gift for any avid gardeners in your life, or the pot stems which depict natural seed heads and birds such as robins or blackbirds, are all beautifully crafted and make unusual thoughtful gifts. You could also choose from one of the quality tea towels, printed with inspiring gardening quotes or simply lovely nature inspired designs.

William Morris gifts

William Morris needs no introduction from us, and we now have a wide range of products in our shop celebrating this titan of design. From ceramic mugs and vases to keyrings, pretty umbrellas together with books celebrating Morris’s textile designs and his life, his designs, characterised by their natural beauty and intricate patterns have such a timeless quality they will never go out of fashion and always be a delight to have around your home.

New books

Our range of books has expanded to include a wider range of titles which will inspire you or a loved one, from The Herbal Apothecary and Rewild Your Garden or The Handmade Spa. If history is your thing then The Diary of Miss Ann Sykes or How To Be A Victorian are part of a range which capture a bygone era. We also stock books about the Beatles and the Titanic disaster, both of which have interesting and unexpected connections to Port Sunlight.
