Fine & Sandy is a front street shop in the beautiful village of Tynemouth on the North East Coast of England (about 8 miles from Newcastle Upon Tyne). We are a home and gift shop catering for the local community and for the many visitors that come here from all over the world. 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!

Great company
Great value items, quick delivery and fantastic customer service. Found the company by chance when looking for a very specific bronze elephant ornament. Cannot fault them at all!

Excellent - turned disappointment to joy
Was so disappointed when I lost one of the star earrings from a beautiful birthday gift card given by a lovely thoughtful friend. Then I remember her telling me how she had found this lovely item at a craft fair. So happy that I was able to look up the details and delighted to find what I hoped would be the same earrings.They arrived extremely quickly the card & box were just as delightful as the gift I recieved and now I have a spare earring and an extra lovely card even if it is for a niece that i will never have.
Would be nice if you could mix and match details as I would use again. but some of the cards fit a certain person but unfortunately it comes with the wrong relative title and therefore is no good. If one could choose design and relative/name that would be great.

Thank you for your review. I understand your point about being able to have personalised cards. These are Crumble & Core products that we stock and sell...we cannot influence what designs they make and what earrings they assign to each card. We will however pass your comments on to Crumble & Core. Many Thanks
great quick service/delivery

Each item was carefully and beautifully wrapped. Easy to use website, great communication and fast service. Hopefully, I can visit the shop in person in the future.
