Sunshine No.1 - Glasgow

Jacqueline Donaghey

This wee shop is a shining beacon of light in the Mount Florida district of Glasgow. The shop window is immediately inviting with a colourful display of arts and crafts. The shop owner, Suzi, is just lovely and very welcoming. She personally curates everything sold in her shop and the gifts ranging from pottery to candles and soaps to lovely quirky crafts to beautiful prints are 100% made by Scottish artists and makers.
I love the home-grown honey from local beekeepers.
Shopping at Sunshine No1 is very uplifting and to top it all Suzi offers a free gift-wrapping service which makes it the perfect place to buy fab last minute presents!
Glasgow's south-side is a much better place for having this wee gem in the heart of the community.

I had been following Sunshine No.1 on Twitter for a while but wasn’t until recently that I placed my first order in the online store. I don’t live in the UK anymore, so shipping was more challenging to figure out but Suzi was just amazing! She made it possible for me to buy the unique Scotland knit hat I wanted and was so kind and patient throughout. I hope to visit Glasgow and stop by her shop in person soon, but in the meantime I would definitely shop online again! I love that everything is made in Scotland and supports Scottish artists, and that you can be sure anything you buy as a gift or for yourself will be special ?

Best shop around to find gifts for my friends and family. I love the range of stock available and always find something that suits and I usually have a wee blether too! ? Quirky, Scottish, friendly, perfecto!

This might be the best wee gift shop in Glasgow. All the stock is by local artist. There is a good range of gifts to choose from with various prices as well. Ask away about the products, and you'll get a lot of information.

Can only share from personal experience but very disappointed with the way this place handled my friend who came in as a creative inquiring about applications. The staff member at the checkout told us that we had to apply by email, which was fine. However they were very dismissive and discouraging, emphasing the number of applications they get and saying "yours might well not even get looked at".

They refused to even look at my friend's art. Overall a thoroughly demoralising experience for a new creator. I am sure the shop is lovely from a customer perspective but I would not recommend approaching them as an unknown creative.

Bought some gifts online which were fantastic. Good selection of items by local artists and decent prices. Quick delivery. Would highly recommend checking the online store if unable to go in person.

Sunshine no.1 is such a fantastic shop! Really lovely selection all made by small Scottish businesses, and there’s something new every visit. Suzy is fantastic too - very warm and friendly. She has a story about every item in the shop, it’s great to get a bit of an insight into the person who made what you are buying.

So I went into this place as a creative not a customer. I sell crochet item and i addressed a blonde female staff member about the process.Unfortunety she was dismissive and told me that they get hundreds of applications .

I understand but I do wish she had been alot nicer about it .I left the shoop very upset and essentually told that even if I aply online my application might not even be seen .I would not reccomend this place for newbie creatives wishing to sell items I would reccomend local craft stores festivals for them
