Oban’s treasure trove of gifts for every occasion
In the heart of Oban lies a beautiful gift shop that’s a true local gem, and for the festive season it positively shines. While its charming name might conjure images of purely babywear, owner Jackie Kerr is keen for visitors and locals alike to discover that Button Nose Gift Boutique is a treasure trove stocked with delightful finds for absolutely everyone.
Button Nose Gift Boutique is far more than just a children’s shop. It’s a carefully curated haven for gift-givers and those looking to treat themselves. While it proudly offers an adorable selection of baby clothes from 2-12 months and new-baby gifts, that is just the beginning of the journey.
Step inside and you’ll find a diverse and stylish collection that caters to all ages and budgets. The shelves are brimming with elegant handbags, chic accessories and homeware, unique jewellery and beautiful scarves. You’ll also discover a thoughtful selection of men’s gifts, luxurious purses, high-quality umbrellas and a huge array of greeting cards for any occasion.
“After ten years, I have come to know what my customers in Oban like,” said Jackie. “People especially love items that have a sentiment behind them, pieces that will mean something for years to come, so I have a selection stocked with our most popular brands so you can keep adding to your collection, as well as surprises for every season of the year. And since WH Smith closed down, I knew there was a gap for nice greeting cards, so I’ve dedicated a whole side of the shop to them, including Hallmark cards, which has been booming.”
Something for everyone
Adding to the boutique’s inviting atmosphere are the beautiful Ivy and Twine, Max Benjamin and ReLisa Scent ranges of home fragrances, plus elegant Skye and Yankee Candles, exquisite scents that make the ideal gift or a create a calm sanctuary in your own home. Those who love a bit of sparkle — or know someone special who does — will find a bit of heaven at Button Nose, with their selection of jewellery lines.
“Among our most popular range is the Joma Jewellery,” Jackie shared. “There is a lovely sentiment behind each piece, which is why it makes such a well loved gift. We also carry designer led lines like Zsiska and Carrie Elspeth, alongside other specially chosen collections.”
Christmas inspiration galore
For weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, teacher’s gifts or just because, the boutique stocks the brands you always love, along with new additions for each season. With Christmas on the horizon, Jackie has filled the space with an enchanting collection of sparkly home decorations and festive gifts, from that cosy candle to warm up a dark evening, to that unique ornament that will become a cherished part of your family’s Christmas tradition.
“We have got a lot of gift ideas for everyone on your list and lovely items to make your home look festive,” Jackie said. “We have two and a half tables decorated with ornaments, including charming children’s ornaments. There’s something for everyone on your Christmas list, from fine soaps to designer handbags, scarves and fingerless gloves, which are so popular.”
Having trouble finding the perfect gift, whether it’s a thoughtful stocking stuffer or a show-stopping statement? Jackie and her team are experts at helping you select presents for even the trickiest person. This is especially a welcome resource for gentlemen who need a guiding hand in their gift selection.
“A lot of men come in at Christmas, and it means a lot to them that we are happy to take our time with them. They can simply by tell us a bit about her, and we can help them choose just the right gift. And chances are, because we are a home town shop, we may well know them, so we will know exactly what they will love.”
