Hello Love is a creative gift shop and so much more in Bloomsbury, London WC1. It’s a member’s club and contemporary living experience promoting artistic collaboration, daily practice, and positive change with global sustainability at heart. You can purchase beautiful gifts at the Hello Love space, enjoy viewing art, eat something healthy, or head downstairs to the Dojo for holistic and spiritual enlightenment. If you’re looking for a non-toxic lifestyle and want to improve yourself, this is the place for you.
Buy Something Adorable From The Hello Love Gift Shop
I reviewed Lamb’s Conduit Street in the neighbourhood and remembered passing by Hello Love during the Covid Lockdown. It was intriguing, so I made a note to pop back and look inside. I’ll tell you about the super cute art prints and adorable gifts you can buy for yourself or a friend.
Art is a big focus at Hello Love, so keep an eye out for forthcoming exhibitions. Available art prints include limited editions of ‘Listen to your Boobs’ by Minerva Freire, with 50% of sales donated to the Hello Beautiful Foundation. Team Six’s ‘Construction of Shape’ collection with all the money donated to the Hello Beautiful Foundation. A series of bright fluorescent ink screen-prints, stickers, and spray paint cans by Ben Rider (above) is an excellent choice for a graphic novel and comic book fans.
If you want to buy something adorable for your home, check out the embroidery hoops, macrame hanging plant holders, woven wall hangings, or pattern cushions. Housewarming gifts include brightly printed tea towels. I saw an extensive collection of vintage teacups, saucers, milk jugs, plates and glassware on my visit. The little plant pots with succulents are a lovely self-treat.
Stationery lovers can rejoice with the quirky greeting card selection featuring colourful designs from geishas to flamingos along with retro themes like space invaders and cassette tapes. If you enjoy jotting down your thoughts in a notebook, the native pattern covers are striking. Other screen-printed covers include lucky cats, cacti, butterflies and tropical prints. The soft-touch animal pencil cases are cute.
You’ll also find a few fashion items such as T-shirts and fold-up shopping bags. The jewellery collection includes necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, and broaches. The enamel pins have witty slogans such as Menace to Society, Optimist and Choose Life.
The beauty selection includes natural deodorants and lip balms by Scence, Kyushi face oils, Lucky Cloud cleansing balms and other natural beauty products by Aeos. Look out for the range of Organically eco-friendly dental care products, including the bamboo toothbrush.
Other products I spotted include candles, purses, wellbeing books covering mindfulness and chakras, children’s books, secondhand vinyl records and more.
