Well we can’t admit to having been particularly active on our blog in 2017. We don’t have a team working on social media suggesting nautical gifts for men with beards. We do have an occasional stab at Facebook and have been known to put a picture up on Instagram but 2018 is the year we would like our customers, friends and clients to call in on 01202 285163 or leave a message for us to call you back on 07711247762. The best bit for us in 2017 was “face to face” in the shop or a natter on the phone. It’s where we are at our best too ( we do sometimes have hangovers on Mondays ).  January and February are trade show months, please let us know at info@dorsetgifts.com what you would have liked to buy but couldn’t find. We are working on more keenly priced brass maritime items. We have also been promising to introduce a section for nautical salvage items ( for several years! ). You just never know!
