About The Rowan Tree
The Rowan Tree is an award-winning independent gift shop in Budleigh Salterton, Devon - a pebble's throw from the beach. Established in 2004, we have spent more than twenty years curating thoughtful gifts, cards, homeware, self-care treats, children's pieces, seasonal finds and little extras that feel good to give.
We are a real shop with a real home. If you are ever in Devon, you will find us at 7 Fore Street - a calm, considered space where you can take your time, pick something up, and ask for advice. For customers shopping from further afield, our online store brings the same thoughtful edit to your door.
Selected, not stocked
That is our philosophy, and it shapes everything we do. Every product in The Rowan Tree has been chosen with care - not because it fills a shelf, but because it earns its place. We look for things that say I thought of you without needing to shout it.
Our range is built around the way people really shop for gifts: by recipient, occasion, budget, style, and the feeling they want the gift to carry. Whether you are buying a birthday present, a new home gift, a card to finish the parcel, or a small treat for yourself, the aim is the same - a choice that feels personal, useful and beautifully considered.
Thoughtful gifts, made easier
Gift shopping can be joyful, but it can also bring small worries: will they like it, will it arrive in time, does it feel special enough, and what else should go with it? We curate the store to help with those decisions.
You can shop by recipient, occasion, budget and style, with clear product information and delivery guidance close to the point of purchase. We also keep gift wrap, cards and finishing touches close to hand, because the details often make the gift feel complete.
Independent, practical and personal
The Rowan Tree is connected to a real shop operation, not a faceless warehouse. That matters. The same care that goes into helping someone at the counter also shapes how we choose products, write descriptions, pack orders and answer questions online.
As we continue building the online experience, we are improving discovery and confidence around the existing catalogue while keeping the product information dependable for the shop team too. The website should feel like an extension of the shop: useful, warm, easy to browse and grounded in genuine service.
