Smithsonia

Aladdin's cave of gifts 14-16 New Street
Birmingham B2 4HD
United Kingdom
+44 121 643 8405 Smithsonia is a superb, friendly and unimposing gift shop in the eclectic Piccadilly Arcade. It sells silver jewellery, prints, frames, clocks, ornaments and art deco curios, all at favourably realistic prices. There are lots of Charles Rennie Mackintosh-inspired pieces and a fine range of earrings. All the merchandise is either innovative or interesting, or both, and it'll be a surprise if nothing takes your fancy. Ideal for buying impetuous gifts, whether for a friend or yourself.
