What Do You Collect?

Everyone collects something. My dad collects Roy Rogers memorabilia. My sister collects Precious Moments. I used to collect David Winter Cottages, before the line was sold to Enesco. My daughter likes Cherished Teddies. The entire family likes to give Willow Tree figures to one another for important life events, like the birth of a baby or a child’s first day of school. We do not have unlimited room to keep acquiring little pretties, but it’s lovely to be able to have some of the things you adore sitting near you on a special shelf or curio cabinet.
The UK Gift Company has a very old tradition of providing high quality collectables. They began in 1858 as Church’s China and for the past several years, they have been online and able to serve an international clientele. I like to browse the Lilliput Lane pieces they have, because they remind me of old David Winter designs. For me, there is just something endlessly charming about tiny details and themes that hint at simpler days.
Of course, one of the things I like best about the things the UK Gift Company offer is that they make sure to stay on top of the trends that drive new collectable lines. While Lladro will always be a timeless classic in their inventory, they also have new lines like the surreal Speed Freaks collection by Terry Ross.
