While I was out exploring West Dulwich for my blog, I was utterly charmed by the Jumping Bean Shop on Lordship Lane. You can’t miss it, with the front draped in a fabulous floral display that beckons you in. Once through the door, you’ll realise the shop is far bigger than you expected, and even better, it’s packed to the rafters with things you suddenly realise you need. It’s a lovely lifestyle boutique with gorgeous gifts and must-have homewares. If you’re hunting for the best gift shops in SE22 or home accessories in East Dulwich, you must pop in and browse around Jumping Bean.

Jumping Bean has the kind of curated collection that feels thoughtful and well executed. Everything is beautifully displayed, neatly grouped, and chosen by someone with excellent taste and a sense of humour. It’s the sort of shop where you go in to buy a card and come out with a candelabra shaped like a lion!
Let’s talk gifts. There’s a whole section of witty mugs, sculptural vases, sweet-smelling soaps, adorable teapots, puzzles, mini games, incense burners, and matchboxes printed with punchy slogans. Add in tea lights, stylish bird boxes, pastel-hued lamps, and hand-wrapped chocolates, and you’ve got a present for everyone you know.
The stationery section is a dream. Expect stacks of patterned notebooks, arty pens, washi tapes, planners, and mini diaries you’ll use. You’ll also find the perfect card to commemorate that special occasion, whether a birthday, anniversary or a thank you.
Their homeware range is full of colour and charm. Think textured plant pots, printed cushions, patterned picture frames, functional wall clocks, linen tea towels, handy trays, colourful ribbed drinking glasses, and paper lampshades. The kind of things that make your home feel more welcoming.
Beauty buffs will appreciate the small-batch skincare, lip balms, bath salts, and beautifully wrapped soaps that could happily sit in your bathroom. They’ve even got jade rollers and gua sha tools for anyone looking to elevate their skincare ritual. You’ll also find washbags in bold prints, perfect for gifting or upgrading your travel kit. With a selection of grooming products, there’s something for everyone.
And yes, there’s fashion too. They stock easy, feel-good pieces that you’ll wear. Floaty dresses, slouchy knits, oversized cotton shirts, the kind of wardrobe staples that suit every season. Add to that a stash of accessories, including pretty jewellery, printed scarves, tote bags, socks, and sun hats, and you’ve got yourself a look without even trying.
Kids are also catered for with soft toys, books, games, toys and other cute objects that are ideal for gifting or treating little ones. Plus a few adorable outfits that will have you feeling broody!
