Two shopfronts, one tree

A gift shop and a coffee shop.

The white-painted front on Station Road has two signs: "The Gift Tree, hand crafted gifts & coffee shop" on one side, and "The Gift Tree, 5–7 Station Road, Corstorphine" on the other.

Hand crafted gifts

Made by local makers

Local crafters use the shelves and walls to show and sell their own bespoke work: hanging hearts and owls, tote bags, jewellery, cards and turned wooden bowls.

The craft wall: felt hearts and a knitted owl on a wire grid, printed tote bags, a jewellery stand, a card spinner, turned wooden bowls and painted wooden fairy doors on shelves.
