Elysian Gift Shop @ The Monos Centre

In Spring 2025 we opened a gift shop at The Monos Centre in Whitwick. Pop in and see us to shop for plants, a huge range of locally-made crafts, and a selection of carefully curated gifts.

Our stock is ever changing but you’re sure to find something for a birthday, special occasion or just a treat for a loved one (or yourself!). Alongside the work of over 20 local craftspeople, we sell a range of indoor and outdoor plants, plus carefully curated gifts including stationery, homeware, garden decor and skincare (Jacqueline is an Independent Neal’s Yard Remedies Community Consultant). Everything we sell is chosen to support our values of increasing your creativity and wellbeing.
