If you choose to buy from our online store you are safe in the knowledge that we are a real business, run by everyday people who will give you responsive customer service! In our village shop we find that customers are surprised by the wide range of products we stock, including gifts for occasions, hats & scarves, gloves, bags, purses, jewellery, perfumes, candles and diffusers together with home decor accessories. However, we also stock some interesting small furniture items and significant pieces of work from local artists and crafts people. Everything in our shop is NOT available online, but we will continue to add more products to the online store as we go, so keep checking in! Tynemouth was recently voted as the best place to live in the North East of England (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tynemouth-tyne-wear-best-places-to-live-hw97j38cn). It sits alongside some beautiful beaches, has its own priory and quite a number of places to eat, drink and relax. King Edward's Bay, sitting just below Tynemouth Priory has recently being identified as one of the top 10 blue flag beach in the UK by Conde Nast Traveller (https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/blue-flag-beaches-uk). If that is not enough to convince you, Rough Guide places Tynemouth in Britain's top 30 seaside towns to visit and stay in (https://www.roughguides.com/special-features/britains-30-best-seaside-towns/tynemouth-tyne-wear/). Once you get here you can take the road train (or a 1km walk along the sea-edge promenade) down to North Shield's working fish quay or in the other direction to Whitley Bay sea front! So, if you are looking for a great day out we would recommend that you take a trip to Tynemouth and enjoy the mix of bars, restaurants and shopping in this stunning north east coastal village. If you do, pop in and say hello...we would love to see you!

I was so happy with the customer service .
The product didn’t arrive on time through no fault of the company but I emailed and received an instant response giving me the option of a full refund or another item being posted out . I opted for another item which arrived the next day . The answers to my emails were extremely quick and resolved very fast . The candle was lovely and made a lovely birthday present . I will definitely use this company again

Thank you for the review and for the opportunity to sort out the issue with the delivery of your purchase. Unfortunately the odd delivery goes missing, its not the fault of our customers and we always try to put it right asap!
Absolutely delighted with Fine & Sandy
Absolutely delighted with Fine & Sandy! I bought gifts for various family birthdays and I got just what I wanted, at reasonable prices, and the service was excellent. As a traditional shopper deprived of the opportunity to traipse around shops, I'm now a convert to the joys of doing it online!
