Beehive Gifts at Heart of the Shires

Welcome to Illumination

Illumination is your local treasure trove at Heart of the Shires, offering stylish lamps, cosy home accessories, candles, and unique gifts for gentlemen. Whether you’re looking to brighten up a room or find the perfect present, you’ll enjoy a warm, friendly shopping experience.

Why Visit Illumination

At Illumination, we believe the little things can make the biggest difference. That’s why we handpick every item in the shop, from stylish table lamps, to decorative clocks, picture frames, and home accessories that add character and warmth to any space. Our candles offer the perfect finishing touch, whether you’re creating a cosy atmosphere at home or gifting a moment of calm to someone special.

We’re not a high street chain. We’re a small, independent shop where you can take your time, ask questions, and enjoy discovering something that feels just right for you or someone you care about.

What To Expect When You Visit Us

When you walk through the door, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a beautiful mix of lighting, décor, and gifts. There are clocks and picture frames to suit every taste, alongside carefully chosen ornaments and signs that add personality to your home. Candles fill the air with gentle, inviting scents.

Our friendly, knowledgeable staff are always happy to offer advice or simply let you browse at your own pace. Many of our visitors say they come looking for a gift but end up leaving with a little something for themselves too!
