Novello Gifts

Novello Gifts occupies 29 West High Street in Inverurie, where owner Vhari Johnston stocks work from between 18 and 20 local crafters under one roof. The shelves hold jewellery, fascinators, handbags and scarves alongside smaller bespoke gifts, including beeswax balms and massage waxes from Boyndie Beehive. Johnston has used the shop to give a retail outlet to makers who might otherwise sell only at markets or online, building a rotating stock that changes as crafters bring in new work. The business trades from this single West High Street premises in the town centre. It has also become known locally for charity fundraising Johnston has organised through the shop, including events held in memory of her grandmother.
