Al Fresco Dining in North Devon

The sun is out and shining beautifully in the clear blue skies of North Devon making it feel like summer has finally arrived! A light summer breeze, the smell of freshly cut grass and long evenings all complement each other well, the perfect excuse to sit outside put your feet up and enjoy some delicious food.  It is what summer evenings are all about!

Eating outside in your garden can be super simple and elegant, by adding a few key pieces you could transform your garden into an extension of your beautiful home -  minus a few walls!

Where to begin?
Start with your Table and Chairs, accessorise your table with a selection of chairs for when the whole family are over, Wooden chairs, fabric and linen chairs or beautiful wicker chairs laden with plump cushions will be super comfortable and cosy.

Tablecloths, Glassware, Lanterns, Candles and flowers will then decorate your table and make it beautiful. Sparkling Wine Glasses, Decanters, Water glasses, Ice Buckets and many more elegant items are dishwasher safe, so no need to spend an age at the sink washing the glasses by hand. 
Lanterns and Oil Burners are a fab addition to any garden party! Choose from a Natural finish, Grey, Silver or even our handcrafted Bamboo Lanterns. They will light up your garden and give it that extra special feel, plus burning oil will keep those little insects at bay.

One thing to remember is if  everything is not for outdoor use and you are taking all the items back and forth from the house everything needs to be easy to carry and move about. Bamboo Baskets and trays with handles can be super helpful to pop all your cutlery, napkins and bits n' bobs in.

Explore both our Just... Trio stores in Barnstaple and Bideford plus our Facebook page for all kinds of fantastic offers and array of inspiration for your homes and gardens to enjoy your perfect, relaxing summer days in.

What to get a man that has everything?....

Buying presents for men for Fathers Day can be a struggle in itself, let alone buying a gift for a man who has everything or when you are buying on a budget. 

Ahoy! To the beach it is...

You don't have to spend through the roof to buy the perfect gift your dad will love. Why not take your dad out for the day? Take a trip to the nearest beach for a picnic in the glorious sunshine with a picnic basket filled with homemade snacks, a cosy handmade blanket plus a bottle or.... two!
Have a jolly splash around in our beautiful Devon Beaches and work up an appetite. 

We have recently had an array of quality, handmade and recycled blankets and throws in store. They come in a variety of colours and designs perfect to cozy up on the sofa or take down to the beach. 

What do we love... 

We have a selection of manly gifts that you can purchase online or buy in store. Take a look as we are constantly updating our wesbite, making it easier to use and adding fab new products. 

In our window display we have a range of Manly Wash Bags to pop all those essentials in and to use on those well deserved short breaks away. To fill we have a fabulous St. Kitts Herbery Spiced Lime shaving Gift set. The soap in the lime fragrance works up into a creamy lather, while the After spray leaves a refreshing, fruity finish.

Work in Style... 

Brighten up his work and office space with fabulous bookends, magnifying glass, a clock to sit on the desk or to hang on the wall or even a great stand-out piece such a Globe or a Tripod Lamp. 

Purchase online or Pick up In Store... 

There are endless ideas and an even wider selection of items on our website including cheeseboards, slate trays, catridge olive picks and bowls or even a Nickel plated Bottle Opener from our Culinary Concepts range. 

Don't leave buying a prezzie too late, make sure you purchase with enough time for it to be delivered to you. You could even pay for it online or over the phone and pick up in store to save a little time.
