Present & Correct Pop-in Shop: damn lovely

Well heck, sometimes Christmas really does come early. Just downstairs from the We Made This studio, the guys from Present & Correct have opened up their first Pop-In shop, and quite frankly it made us feel like the proverbial kids in a candy store.

The shop is a treasure trove of design goodness, ranging from stationery to prints to books: some of them are created by Present & Correct, some are sourced from around the world; and there are even a few one-off items.

You could pick us out just about anything from this place and we'd give you a great big hug. (We're just saying. You don't have to get us anything. You could... but you don't have to.)

The shop is open until 21 December, Monday to Saturday, 12 to 6.30, with late opening on Thursdays till 9pm. If you can't make it along to the shop, they sell through their site too.
