A Little Something Lovely, From Our Creative Corner in Alykanas
A Little Natter About Gifts, Crafts & Gorgeous Things for the Home
Oh go on then… let’s have a proper chat about gifts, crafts, and all those gorgeous little things that make a house feel like your home.
Now, you might already know us for orchestrating wildly fabulous weddings here in sunny Zante — think confetti in your hair, prosecco in hand, and just the right amount of magic ✨. But here’s a little plot twist for you… we also run the loveliest gift shop and craft studio tucked away in the heart of Alykanas.
And honestly? It’s a bit special.
Not Your Average Souvenir Shop
Our little shop is brimming with treasures — and none of that “three-for-a-tenner” business, thank you very much. Everything you’ll find here has been chosen or created with care, personality, and a good dash of creativity.
During the quieter winter months, when the island slows down and the tourists drift home, we get to work. It’s our favourite time — full of tea, laughter, a bit of glitter (always), and plenty of designing and making. Alongside our own creations, we also source pieces from wonderfully talented independent makers. Because life’s far too short for mass-produced tat.
Eco-Friendly at Heart
Being eco-conscious isn’t just a nice idea for us — it’s part of everything we do. “Waste not, want not” might sound like something your nan used to say, but around here, it’s practically a business model.
We love giving materials a second life, transforming them into dreamy macramé pieces, whimsical dreamcatchers, and one-of-a-kind home décor. There’s something rather magical about taking something forgotten and turning it into something beautiful again.
Crafting with a Story
One of the things we’re most proud of is our clothing recycling workshops. Locals from across Zakynthos bring in their pre-loved garments, and together we reimagine them into handcrafted pieces with brand new stories.
It’s sustainable, it’s sentimental, and it’s completely unique — which is exactly how we like it.
Inspired by Island Life
Being by the sea has a way of sneaking into everything we make. You’ll spot driftwood, sea glass, pebbles, sand, and shells woven into our designs — little pieces of the island that you can take home with you.
They’re not just souvenirs… they’re tiny reminders of sun-soaked days and salty air.
Fancy Getting Creative?
If you’re feeling inspired (and we do recommend it), why not join one of our workshops?
We run relaxed, friendly sessions for both adults and children — no pressure, just plenty of fun. You can try your hand at:
Ceramic painting
Personalised plaques
Pebble art
Canvas painting
Macramé
It’s all delightfully hands-on — and yes, a little bit messy in the best possible way. Even better with a chilled drink nearby.
Come and Find Us
If you’re on the hunt for a unique gift or something special for your home, do pop in and have a rummage. We promise it’s worth it.
And if a craft class sounds like your kind of thing — for you or the little ones — just give us a shout and we’ll get you booked in.
Not quite sure where we are?
You’ll find us on the beach road in Alykanas, right next to the Iguana Bar and opposite the Zante Flower Hotel.
