Every piece has a story.

Mine started when my great-grandmother taught me to knit at just seven years old.

Hi, I'm Sharon, the maker behind gifts by Granny.

Today, I create thoughtful gifts and home accessories from my studio in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, inspired by skills passed down through four generations.

From practical storage baskets to unique gifts, everything I make is designed to be used, loved and become part of someone's everyday life. Wherever possible, I use recycled yarns because I believe beautiful things should also be made thoughtfully.

designed for a Purpose.

Beautiful design isn't just about how something looks.

It's about creating pieces you'll reach for every day, treasure for years to come and feel good about bringing into your home.

That's why I choose quality materials, practical designs and recycled yarns wherever possible, creating thoughtful pieces that are kinder to the planet without compromising on beauty or function.

Every stitch, every detail and every decision is made with care, because I believe the things we surround ourselves with should tell a story, serve a purpose and bring a little happiness to everyday life.
