About Us

Our Story

Zest Contemporary Gifts is an award winning gift shop founded in 2004 by two mums with an eye for something different. Over the past 20 years we are proud to have grown to be an established and much loved shop in the town of Crowborough, East Sussex.

We believe - and are proud - that what truly sets us apart is our friendly and helpful staff who love nothing more than to chat to customers and help find their perfect gift.

Our range of gifts

From jewellery and clothes to vases and door knobs, notebooks and pens to scented candles and diffusers, we have something to offer all tastes.

One thing we find really popular in our shop is our huge range of Jellycat toys and books - whether you are buying for a new baby, your partner or even yourself there’s a cute character waiting for you. For children we have a great selection of toys and games too at all different price points.

We have a huge card department covering well known names such as Rosie Made a Thing and Quentin Blake to smaller handmade offerings from local designers, including one of our Zest team. With a range of tissue and gift wrap too we have everything you need to make your present look fantastic. Or if you’d rather we can do it for you! We offer free tissue and ribbon wrap at the till. If you’re buying online there’s also the option for us to gift wrap your present and add a personalised gift tag. This means it can be sent straight to your loved one without having to pay for postage twice.

If you can’t make it into the shop then we hope you can find what you need on this website. We are always uploading new product ranges so keep checking back for more goodies. There’s also the option to order online and collect in store free of charge. With free parking just around the corner this is a great solution for bulky items that you’d rather pick up in person.

Please do get in touch if you have any questions. We would love to hear from you.
