Regent Gifts
Gift shops can be uninspiring. More often than not you find yourself resigned to wading through collections of purposeless and uninventive clutter that turns into a considerably painful experience when you finally hand over your cash card at the end with armfuls of junk.
Regent Gifts is a small boutique store in the heart of the Covent Garden piazza that can be described as neither run-of-the-mill nor without character. Kaleidoscopic displays of feathered masks, jewellery, crystal bowls and vases, candles and decorations make this whimsical little shop an altogether different experience.
The shop is most noticeably one of the leading retailers in UK of Venetian masks. Their extravagant and flamboyant collection includes long-nosed, jester, full-face and stick masks; think olden day Romeo and Juliet. Adorned masks of silk ribbons, Swarovski crystals and peacock feathers range from as little as £24.50 to as much as £170.
The personal touch is obviously something that is highly valued at Regent Gifts—design your own jewellery and engrave any of the glass and crystal products to customise your gifts. For the girls the unusual Antica Murrina glass heart pendants are an entirely individual gift idea, and for the men you can’t go wrong with the Aston Brown cufflinks and gift sets.
