Made-Here

If you’re looking for somewhere to buy an unusual and beautiful gift for someone then Made-​Here is where you should head. Offering a huge array of delightful and quirky hand made items from greetings cards to jewellery to toiletries to art, this shop has the added bonus of only stocking goods that are made by local practitioners. Everything in this shop is literally made here in Merseyside.
This means that when you browse around this very cool place (and invariably buy something — I challenge you to walk out of there without even a pencil or a keyring) you have the pleasure of looking at truly unique creations that you won’t find anywhere on the high street plus an additional slight feeling of smugness knowing that you’re supporting local, independent business.
One of my favourite things about Made-​here is the stunning hand made jewellery and the extremely affordable but often original and limited edition art works. Buy a piece of art from Made-​here, pop it on your wall and you’ll automatically feel like a art collector. Well, it worked for me.
So if you’re a fan of the unusual, the individual, the quirky, the cool and the beautiful then get yourself to the Met Quarter and have a look round — you won’t be disappointed.
