Welcome to Shades Home & Gift Shopping
Thank you for visiting Shades Home & Gift Shopping — a carefully curated collection of stylish home goods and thoughtful gifts designed to bring warmth, character, and joy to UK homes.
What We Do
Our mission is simple: to help you find pieces that don’t just decorate your space, but truly reflect your personality. We believe your home should tell a story — and every item we choose is selected with that belief in mind. From handcrafted ceramics to soft linen throws and uniquely designed gifts, we source products that blend beauty, quality, and purpose.
Topics We Cover
We focus on home decor that elevates everyday living: interior accessories, ambient lighting, artisanal tableware, seasonal decor, and meaningful gifts for every occasion. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or searching for that perfect birthday or housewarming present, our collection is designed to inspire and delight.
About the Creator
Shades Home & Gift Shopping was founded by Ember Lynley, a lifelong lover of thoughtful design and the quiet magic of well-made objects. With roots in New Zealand and a deep appreciation for British interiors, Ember brings a global perspective to a UK-focused collection. Her passion for discovering small-batch artisans and sustainable makers shapes every product you’ll find here.
Why This Website Exists
After years of hunting for home items that felt authentic — not mass-produced or soulless — Ember created Shades to fill a gap she’d experienced herself. Too many online stores offered either generic decor or overly expensive luxury. Shades was born to offer something in between: accessible elegance, curated with care, and delivered with honesty.
Our Values & Approach
We believe in quality over quantity, intention over impulse, and sustainability over speed. Every item is chosen for its craftsmanship, durability, and story. We work with independent makers wherever possible and prioritise ethical sourcing. Our goal isn’t just to sell you something — it’s to help you build a home that feels like you.
Contact Us
We’d love to hear from you. Whether you have a question about an item, a suggestion for a new product, or just want to share how you’re using your new decor, feel free to reach out. You can email Ember directly at [email protected].
While our team is based in Wellington, New Zealand, we ship throughout the UK with care and pride — because your home deserves nothing less.
