- Visit mid-week (Wednesday to Friday) during morning hours for the quietest browsing experience and full access to the complete inventory.
- Ask staff about the stories behind items—their knowledge of provenance and design context adds significant value to your purchase.
- Browse the online shop before visiting to identify items of interest, then experience them in person to appreciate craftsmanship and detail.

A Distinctive Approach to Gift Retail
Rare Finds Gift Shop stands apart from conventional retail spaces through its philosophy of curated selection over volume. Rather than overwhelming visitors with endless inventory, the shop presents a carefully chosen collection of gifts that emphasize quality, originality, and craftsmanship. Each piece is selected to spark conversation and create meaningful connections between giver and recipient. The shop's tagline—"No ordinary gift shop"—reflects a commitment to moving beyond mass-produced merchandise and toward items that carry genuine character and story.The Physical Experience
Located at 20 High Street in Rugby's town center, the shop occupies a traditional high street position that invites leisurely exploration. The interior is designed to encourage browsing and lingering, with adequate space to examine items without feeling rushed or crowded. The quiet setting provides a respite from typical shopping environments, allowing visitors to take time discovering pieces that resonate with them. Display cases are thoughtfully arranged, and merchandise is organized intuitively, making it easy to navigate the diverse range of offerings.Curated Collections and Product Range
The inventory spans decorative arts, home accessories, and gift items across multiple aesthetic categories. Hand-blown glass sculptures, including vibrant parrots and artistic suncatchers, sit alongside vintage-inspired pieces such as metal train money boxes and wooden musical jewellery boxes. Functional art pieces like the giant clam lamp combine sculptural beauty with practical lighting, while smaller items such as hand-carved wooden whale tails and elephant shelf stands offer affordable entry points into the collection. Prices range from under £25 to nearly £200, accommodating various budgets without compromising on design integrity.Service and Expertise
The shop is staffed by knowledgeable team members who understand the provenance and context of the merchandise. Rather than simply processing transactions, staff engage with customers to understand their preferences and offer personalized recommendations. This consultative approach transforms shopping into a discovery experience. The business extends beyond the physical storefront through online sales and shipping services, allowing customers to purchase items remotely while maintaining the same attention to quality and care.The Market Town Setting
Ragby, a historic market town in Warwickshire, provides an appropriate context for a shop emphasizing traditional retail values and community connection. The high street location positions Rare Finds within a pedestrian-friendly environment where visitors naturally encounter the shop while exploring the town center. This setting reinforces the shop's positioning as a destination for those seeking alternatives to chain retail and online shopping experiences.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
