Smithsonia is an established and popular family business which has been open in Birmingham for over 40 years. During this time, the shop has filled the gifting needs of many local people and has established a wonderful network of suppliers, many of whom are independent artists from this country and beyond.
We have now opened our doors to the rest of the country via our website. Lost count how many years I have been shopping here, it is by far my favourite shop not just in Birmingham anywhere. I love the people who own it and the people who work for them, always welcoming, friendly and go the extra mile to be helpful.

An exquisite, quality, pair of cufflinks, handmade in Birmingham by Deakin and Francis, who have been in the city since 1786. Crafted from sterling silver and vitreous enamel, fully hallmarked in Birmingham, they would be a marvellous present for a special occasion., or that special. A really stylish pair of cufflinks, hand crafted in sterling silver, featuring the sun on one and the moon on the other, with oxidized silver to add contrast.
This year, particularly, we have found that being in the countryside is a great way to lift the spirits (when we are allowed to be there!) And seeing a crazy looking hare like this would definitely make you smile. A contemporary design, made from bone. And seeing an illusive badger like this would definitely make your day.
A lovely choice, this small resin ballpoint pen is delightfully compact and is perfect for carrying on the move, fitting into your handbag or pocket with ease. This lovely pen is made from Italian resin with a special hand-turned technique, producing a variegated finish. Styled in the form of a Polar Bears head, this pot has been painted in lovely, lifelike detail.
Check out that face full of joy as baby elephant runs around in his herd, trunk in the air, creating havoc! Crafted by Michael Simpson who studied in Staffordshire and was inspired by the traditions of Stoke on Trent. As a result of this he. What a lovely way to celebrate a best friend. These two obviously spend hours playing together and having the occasional snuggle!
A gorgeous handmade pewter bookmark made in England, from the finest lead free pewter. The words "All I need is a bottle of wine and a good book" are written down the length of the bookmark and it is finished with a fabric tassel. A gorgeous little collection of pewter animals. What lovely stories you could make up about them, you have a tortoise and a hare, an owl and an elephant and a squirrel and a pig.

I love shopping in Smithsonia and now I have discovered the website I can continue to use a great independent business. My order was delivered much more quickly than expected and beautifully packed. So would definitely encourage people to take a look and help a great independent business in these challenging times.
