About Us

We are an independent family run business with 2 shops, based on our beautiful Yorkshire Coast. Our first shop opened way back in the 60's in Scarborough. It was originally called Scarborough Glass & Crafts and sold a huge amount of European handmade glass. We also have been making our glass Lucky Ducks since we opened and continue to to make our little good luck charms today. Many who visited in the old days knew us as The Lucky Duck Shop.

In the 80's we moved to a new premises, renamed the business A Touch of Glass, added a range of gifts, special occasion presents and greetings cards. We also began Glass Engraving in our Scarborough shop, later expanding our equipment to add a sandblaster, which allows us to add designs and logos or even handwriting to glassware items creating a beautiful high quality finish. Our standards are second to none and should you wish to purchase a quality personalised gift then look no further!

Our second smaller shop opened more recently in 2013 in Bridlington, which has a smaller range of all our gifts.
 

We look for unique, quality gifts at reasonable prices as well as stocking a wide range of collectibles & figurines, including our popular Disney Traditions by Jim Shore & Willow Tree ornaments. We also have a wide range of greetings cards, jewellery & personalised gifts.
