Handmade Design

Handmade Design is an independent gift shop in the heart of Ashbourne, stocking handmade and visitor-friendly gifts. Dogs are welcome inside, so browsing together is easy without the usual tether-and-peer routine through the window. The shop sits centrally on Ashbourne's main shopping streets, making it a useful quick stop during a town-centre wander.

Wet dogs are welcome too, so a muddy morning walk or sudden drizzle won't change plans. The stock focuses on handmade pieces, making it a good option when hunting for something more distinctive than chain-store gifts. It's the kind of place where browsing can be done at a relaxed pace without leaving anyone tied up outside.

Town-centre car parks are nearby, run by Derbyshire Dales district council. It's a straightforward browsing stop when a gift is needed and the dog needs to stay close.
