The National Trust shop in Seahouses is well worth dropping into before or after your boat trip to the islands. Whether you’re looking for a souvenir or a gift, you'll find plenty to choose from, including puffin paraphernalia, locally made greeting cards, a selection of books on the area, and much more.

Home, fashion... and puffins!

We have a lovely range of homeware and fashion items which are inspired seasonally from our properties around the country. With ethical and sustainable sourcing at the forefront of our minds, some of our items, including throws, scarves and bags, are now made from recycled cotton and plastic bottles.

Inspired by the huge puffin population on the Farne Islands, we have an extensive range of puffin products available. Whether you are looking for a soft toy, tea-towel or a magnet, we have all of that and more.
