Traditional gift list items
At The Bottom Drawer we're famous for our alternative gift lists, but we also understand that you may want some traditional items on your list too. So here you will find a selection of companies that can supply china, dinner sets, glassware, luxury towels, luggage, leather goods, silver cutlery and more!
Once you've browsed these sites and selected what you would like, just manually add the items to your list at The Bottom Drawer. Then when your gift list closes we will povide you with the simple details you need to be able to purchase the items either direct from us (BD Direct) or direct from your chosen store(s) (affliated stores) to count towards the free use of our service. And remember, high value items can be broken down into smaller elements to make it easy for your guests to contribute towards.
Wedgwood (BD Direct)
Founded in 1759, Wedgwood has been a leading international supplier of the finest china and glassware for over two centuries. The founder, Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795), who is remembered as ‘the Father of English Potters’, was born in Burslem, Staffordshire, in the heart of the English potteries and production is still carried out in this area today. With traditional ranges featuring alongside designer styles from the likes of Vera Wang and Jasper Conran, as well as cutlery and wine glasses, you can be sure to find what you need at Wedgwood. Simply browse their site, add the items you want to your list at The Bottom Drawer and we will arrange delivery of your goods direct from Wedgwood for you once your list closes. We will advise of price before you confirm your order and always try to at least match, though normally better, the prices of John Lewis! (a minimum order value of £250 applies).
