Yellow Umbrella Gifts

I think it’s time to introduce myself and the shop Hi! I’m Hayley, the owner of Yellow Umbrella Gifts.I’ve lived in Newton Abbot for 17 years, and I share my life with two dogs, one child and one husband I’m neurodiverse, which I honestly see as my superpower when it comes to running a creative hub. And if you’ve met the lovely lady trying to keep me on track — that’s my mum Before opening the shop, I spent five years running a successful zero-plastic gifting business, and then went on to open my first physical shop in Newton Abbot. Nearly two years later, in May, I moved to my beautiful new home on Bank Street — and I’ve never looked back.Yellow Umbrella Gifts is all about beautiful, quality gifts from independent makers — many of them local. I currently work with over 50 talented small businesses, and I’m so proud of every single one of them.I’m 100000% passionate about what I do (and yes, apparently it shows). I love creating a shop that feels inspiring and ever-changing — displays are refreshed weekly so there’s always something new to discover. That passion has also grown into offering The Studio upstairs, where we now host a range of creative workshops. The shop has truly become a little creative hub — and that fills my heart.I feel incredibly lucky to have the support of this town. Thank you to every person who pops in to say hi, browses, buys a gift, tells a friend, or travels (sometimes from Plymouth, Brixham, Torquay and even Tiverton!) just to visit us. It means the world.The new year is bringing even more exciting things, so stay tuned… Thank you for being here Hayley x
