Finding Unique, Ethical Gifts in Plymouth: Discover Adhock Homeware

If you’re looking for a gift shop in Plymouth that offers something a bit different from the usual high street finds, welcome to Adhock Homeware.

Located at Faraday Mill, our shop is a hidden gem for anyone who loves beautiful design with a clear conscience. Whether you’re a local popping in for a browse or a national customer shopping online, we curate a collection of ethical, handmade gifts and homewares that each tell a unique story.

Handmade in Plymouth: Our Signature Collection

Most people know us for our home fragrance, which we hand-pour right here in the workshop. Sustainability is at the core of what we do; we’re big on the "circular" idea - rescuing glass and aluminium that was headed for landfill and giving it a new life as something beautiful for your home.

• Upcycled Bottle Candles & Lamps: We use recycled wine and spirit bottles to create our signature scents and statement lighting.

• Upcycled Drinking Glasses: Smooth-finished, sustainable glassware made from repurposed bottles.
• Reed Diffusers & Refills: Long-lasting fragrance that you can top up again and again with our Reed Diffuser Refills to save on waste.

• Wax Melts & Refillable Tealights: Small-batch soy wax treats that fill your home with aroma without the plastic.

Gifts with a Story: Global Craft, Local Impact

We believe that what you buy should do good in the world. Our shop is filled with items sourced from social enterprises and fair-trade collectives:

• Nepalese Cashmere & Ceramics: We stock incredibly soft cashmere blankets and hand-thrown ceramics (including oil pourers, mugs, soap dishes, incense holders, match bottles & more) made by non-profits and fair-trade organisations in Nepal & India that support disadvantaged communities.

• Social Enterprise Brass: Discover beautiful brass bookmarks made by a UK social enterprise that provides opportunities for people experiencing homelessness.

• Recycled Textiles: Our cushions and throws are crafted from discarded clothing, while our tea towels are 100% cotton, and our unique tote bags are repurposed from old cement bags.

• Artisan Incense & Soap: From botanical handmade soaps made in small-batches here in the UK, to incense made by physically challenged artisans in India, these are the perfect "treat yourself" items.

• Ocean Plant Pots: These are a shop favourite - made from recycled ghost nets and ocean plastics, including materials recovered from right here in Plymouth Sound. They are a brilliant way to keep our local waters cleaner.
