Newcastle Gifts

The Tyne’s bridges, Northumberland’s landscapes, and images of Durham form Newcastle Gifts’ visual map. The online store began in County Durham with John Gordon and Louise Taylor, two photographers interested in northeast England. Its souvenirs and gifts grow from that image-making: photographs and artwork turned into prints, household objects, and small products recalling recognizable places across the region.

Louise Taylor’s contribution includes watercolor, acrylic, and oil painting. Art prints, canvas prints, and illustrated cards sit alongside photography. Subjects span Newcastle and Gateshead, the Tyne’s quaysides and bridges, the Angel of the North, and the coast between Tynemouth and Northumberland. Beaches, lighthouses, and castles broaden a collection that retains its sense of place even when an image appears on a mug or magnet.

The Newcastle selection includes metal, wooden, and panoramic magnets in the Splash of Toon series. Mugs, glass or illustrated coasters, keychains, tea towels, and greeting cards follow. T-shirts, hoodies, Geordie-themed teddy bears, and books connect with local identity. Newcastle United FC products have their own section; snow globes, Christmas cards, and tree ornaments carry the same subjects into seasonal formats.

Durham has a distinct collection. The city, castle, and cathedral appear in photographs and artwork, including images of the cathedral’s interior and stained glass. The line extends to magnets, mugs, coasters, T-shirts, keychains, and ornaments. Northumberland also has photographic prints, cards, and magnets. This organization lets shoppers choose a particular town or landscape rather than bringing every souvenir under a generic reference to England.

Railways offer another route through the store. Magnets inspired by station name signs sit alongside metal railway-poster signs, cast-iron signs, and cushions. The selection adds photographs, cards, notebooks with pens, keychains, snow globes, and train-themed Christmas ornaments. This product family is separate from the city collections while maintaining the connection between an image, a memory, and an everyday object.

Newcastle Gifts explains that it sources from UK suppliers and prints and assembles its products in County Durham. It identifies Adventa in Wales as a manufacturer of items including magnets, snow globes, glass coasters, and Christmas ornaments. The store advertises free UK shipping and international delivery, with delivery information and order tracking. New arrivals bring together additional photographs, artwork, and formats: the catalog grows from its founders’ view of the northeast and its expression in objects to give or keep.
