Large Lady in Swimming Costume

Traditionally a rather good selling line down here on the Dorset Coast. Our ever so slightly large sitting ladies come in resin with swimsuits in one of two colours. A "tongue in cheek" seaside line and these do of course shape around a shelf, like our sitting fishermen, so can reside anywhere where a drawer doesn't slam to knock them off their perch. The flatness of each derriere secures the perfect shelf sitting position.

Approx 4" high and 2" deep

Fat Lady Thermometer DG55213 and Fat Lady Moneybox DG55212

Not content with just sitting on your shelf our fat ladies want to know how hot things are getting and are also chasing you for loose change. With the thermometer our fat lady stands 16 cms and with the money and lifering she kneels at 13 cms in height. They do look good together so we have photographed them thus but can sell individually or as a flattering double act.

Brass Compass DG95650

Small but attractively designed compass which makes for a styish gift. Made with a brass surround and flat bottom with a felt base. This will look great on Dad's desk. For those of you that have not been inspired to buy on our description, here's a compass joke... what's long and yellow and always points North? A magnetic banana. Please see our other nautical small brass pieces in this range.

Hand Bearing Compass DG95654

This is one of the technical ones and I was never in the boy scouts. A beautiful brass item though. These come with a lid that opens and the compass has a black face. Interestingly crafted and these make a lovely and unusual gift.

9cms diameter

£13.99 each

50 Year Brass Calendar DG97426

A simple to use 50 year brass calendar. One of our favourite brass items and great as a nautical room or desk feature or alongside any of our other brass items on this page. Engraved with a ship's anchor and boat... simply place the year over the month and you're off. These also have a velvet base.

Brass World Timer DG97428

VW Camper Van Moneybox

These Campervan Moneyboxes make charming practical small gifts or stocking fillers and have proven to be a strong seller in our shops this year. These VW campervan moneyboxes can be used for decorative or financial purposes! There's a bung underneath and a slot on the top for the cash. These are ceramic and come in their own box measuring 4 inches in length, 3 inches in height and approximately 3 inches across. They come in the the four colours shown in the images, Red, Orange, Yellow or Blue. We love the surfboard on top with the slot down the middle for the money.....like everything VW, a very practical design!

£3.99 each

Metal Tin VW Camper Van

These quite cool and lovely VW metal/tin camper vans are finished in a pale blue with white markings - in our opinion the best colour and we were offered red, even orange but hold stock entirely in this colour. The detail is great with wheels that actually turn around and a roof rack with surf boards. A great nautical surfy ornament as a gift or to display around the home. These are on the big side, approximately 13 inches long, 5 inches wide and 6 inches high. They come in a nice box and we have to say... are ornaments and not toys!!

£29.95 each

Captain's Hat - DG60450

These good quality cloth Captain's Hats are available in one size to fit the guy or the girl who thinks he or she's in charge. They're made from white cloth with a black peak and the gold embroidery shows an anchor and the word's that say it all..."Captain". These hats are a great line at fancy dress parties, nautical parties, for stag or hen nights or just to look like a complete plonker by the seaside! Another nostalgic piece of nautical fun that is likely to go out of stock if David Beckham gets seen in one.

£5.99 each

Dolphin Wine Bottle Holder - DGNATDOLWBH

All the wine bottles we had in the shop were empty, apart from the half empty one we were drinking from but we're leaving this to your imagination! The bottle fits snugly on to the belly of the dolphin and apart from looking decorative without the wine, these bottle holders are quite unique as a nautical table decoration. Wedding parties, please e mail for bulk discounts.

32cms high x 16 cms wide.

Approx 7 inches long with nylon attached to hang.

Hanging Wooden Seagull Mobile - DGMGWD702

Back by popular demand and also called seagull flappers. Singularly the most difficult wooden animal to film in the wild as real seagulls appear from nowhere, tilt their heads sideways and adopt a breeding posture. We found somewhere quiet for the photo shoot and apologise for the poor quality of these pictures. 3 minutes photographing was long enough.

These are wooden and hang on string, pull the string downwards and the wings flap. If you do this outside this movement is guaranteed to attract the attention of any passing gull with time on its hands.

Measures 26 inches from top of the string to base string with the small wooden bobble on it. This is the bit you pull to create flapping affect. Measures 17 inches from hanging part of string to wooden base of seagull. Wingspan is 12 inches and length of seagull is 8 inches. Great to hang from children's bedrooms ceilings, but do have string parts so not suitable to children under the age of three.

Nautical Fridge Magnets

The ubiquitous nautical fridge magnet! We sell these in volume in our shop so it's only fair they have a place on our website. Found in coastal resorts throughout the UK and often over written with the name of the resort the buyer is visiting. These ones are a lot more pleasing to the eye and come in four rustic blue nautical designs. They measure approximately 3 inches in height and 2 inches in width, are made of resin and have a magnet on the back unsurprisingly. Perhaps not a future "cash in the attic" line but the best new design we've seen this year! Some customers have bought these to use as wedding favours.

The nautical designs are:
Beach Hut
Lighthouse
Sea Scene
Boat

Mini Bottles of Fairy Dust

Glitter dust, it's a wonder gift and not very nautical but we have to sell this online as we sell so much in our shops. Besides, purposes are almost nautical as we sell it alongside our pirate tattoos! The glitter is ultra fine and mixed colours that may be different to the colours in the image but will be a mixture of our best selling bottles. Fairy Dust can be
used for face and body glitter and is essential in children's party bags! Remember....they're tiny little bottles, but a little goes a very long way...

3 cms high x 1.5 cms wide.
