Cornwall, with its beautiful scenery and rich culture, is a treasure trove of unique finds that speak volumes about appreciation and love. So, in this blog, we’ve rounded up 9 cool Cornish gifts that every great guy deserves. From celebrating his adventurous side to saying a big thank you for always having your back, these gifts from Cornwall are sure to make this Father’s Day one to remember.
Artisan gin
Give him the taste of Cornwall with Black and Gold Organic Distillery‘s Original Organic London Dry Gin. This master distiller produces one of the county’s finest small-batch gins from golden grain spirit which is infused with a variety of locally sourced organic botanicals. Each sip delights with notes of juniper and citrus – and every ingredient, down to the cork in the bottle, is 100% organic.
Handcrafted jewellery
Those with a strong sense of myth and legend will love Thors Hammer Pendant by St Justin. Cast in pewter and wrapped in a recycled gift box gives it plenty of rugged charm.
The hammer, known as Mjölnir, is one of the most iconic symbols in Norse mythology and was said to be capable of levelling mountains and crushing giants. In modern times, the hammer has come to symbolize strength, power, and protection. The pendant is a reminder of our connection to the ancient past, the power of myth and legend, and the enduring importance of our cultural heritage.
Whether trekking through the wilderness or navigating the urban jungle, this pendant will become his new favourite accessory!
Salty splendour
Indulge the culinary connoisseur in your life with a Salt Pig from Polgear Pottery. This attractive, hand-thrown salt holder, ensures that he always has salt to hand when he’s seasoning recipes and meals. It certainly beats wrestling with the salt grinder!
Polgear potter, Martyn Henniker works from a converted milking parlour in rural Cornwall and takes inspiration from the colours and form of the Cornish shoreline, sea, and night sky. This is reflected in the shades of grey, blue, brown and heather that he uses for his Salt Pig glazes, giving his stoneware clay creations a stunning finish.
A mind and body boost
For a think-outside-the-box gift, treat him to the Lion’s Mane & Cordyceps Instant Arabica Bean Coffee (150g) by Mushlove Cornwall – a small, family-run mushroom-growing business. This 60% coffee and 40% mushroom blend benefits both mind and body and delivers both a pick-me-up and increased focus for the day ahead.
Mushlove Cornwall has been growing high-quality mushrooms since 2021, due to their extraordinary health and medicinal benefits and you can buy them conveniently packaged in dried, extracted, and powdered forms such as this unique coffee blend.
Seascapes and sunsets
Treat him to the gift of art with a masterpiece by Clare Mason, a versatile artist from Penzance in Cornwall. With a unique talent spanning both painting and jewellery making, Clare seamlessly blends her creative prowess across several mediums.
Inspired by the energy, light, and colours of the sea, Clare infuses her paintings with a vibrant palette, which often includes delicate accents of gold and silver dust – remnants from her jewellery workbench.
Discover her gorgeous creations such as ‘Sennen Sunset,’ ‘Perfect Porthmeor’ and ‘Long Rock Sunset’ either online or at Clare’s gallery located on Chapel Street in Penzance.
An eco-conscious gift
Introducing the perfect gift for the man who loves the sea – Floating Buoy Keyrings by Behaviour Change Cornwall. Whether he’s a boat owner, a swimmer, or simply prone to misplacing his keys, these handmade keyrings are not only practical but also eco-friendly, as they’re crafted from recycled ghost buoys and netting recovered from Cornish shores and waters.
By purchasing one of these keyrings, not only will you be giving a thoughtful gift, but you’ll also be supporting a charity dedicated to cleaning up Cornwall’s coastline and protecting its marine wildlife. It’s a gift that truly makes a difference.
