Coffeeware covers coffee pots and coffee cups and saucers. Barware adds ice buckets, bottle stoppers, trays, jugs and knives, and the gifts section assembles decanter gift sets, including sets with tray, whisky gift sets, gin glass gift sets and wine glass gift sets.

Second site for giftware and collectables

The shop directs customers who cannot find an item to its second website, Goviers, described as carrying giftware and collectables. According to the site, the latest catalogue mixes Goviers and Havens products, so part of the assortment is split between the two stores.
