It’s tricky to know which items to feature at this time of year. The sales are still on, Valentine’s Day is coming up fast and the shops already have their Easter stock out.
So, we turned our eyes to the east and saw all the cool things inspired by Japan. There are cute kawaii goodies, gorgeous kokeshi dolls, graceful paper cranes and delicate cherry blossoms, plus some amazing Mt Fuji soap.

Evening all and a happy new year!
Hope you’ve all had a good break. If you’re looking to splash the Christmas cash lots of our shops have sales on and we have lots of woolies for this freezing weather. However, the featured items are a bit of a mystery… Inspired by the new Sherlock Holmes film we have delicate Victoriana and sparkly steampunk goodies. And yes we do sell deerstalkers. Feast your eyes on these lovelies…

Well, it’s all British at Folksy (for now anyway) but here are some goodies that are especially British in one way or another. If you’re looking for something to send abroad they make perfect gifts (or keep them for yourself – either way is fine). So we’ve got Union Jacks, Welsh dragons, Scottie dogs and other quintessentially British things like a red phone box, lots of rain and a nice cup of tea and a sit down.
Visit our Best of British featured items.
