When you are in need of a gift for someone special, perhaps even yourself, please remember our lovely museum gift shop.

New tea time accouterments arrive frequently; if you are a tea lover you will enjoy our assortment of tea pots for everyday and every occasion. Plus we always have serving pieces, cups and saucers, drip collars, cake plates, tea bag holders ~ everything for the tea table, whether it’s tea for one or for an afternoon’s tea party.

The museum’s signature blend Miss Eloise’s Afternoon Tea is packaged loose and in bags for your preference. This is a delightful blend of black tea and jasmine, wonderful for any time of the day.

New this season: Sugars by Sharon
These charming tea cubes are in the shapes of hearts and teacups!

The tea theme carries through in jewelry, gift books, cookbooks, stationery, stickers, cookie cutters and giftware.

A book to look into is Tea with a Twist: Entertaining and Cooking with Tea by the Certified Tea Specialist Lisa Boalt Richardson featuring inspiration as well as recipes for a variety of social tea parties. Imagine a Southern Tailgate Tea Party or an Indian Chai High Tea. Each party chapter features a menu, recipes and “The Finishing Touches” for décor, atmosphere and presentation. This volume is lavishly photographed by the interior and food photographer Lauren Rubenstein.

It is never too early to introduce children to the world of tea. Tea sets for children and their dolls and bears are available along with books written for children and their grown-up friends (including Emilie Barnes’ Let’s Have A Tea Party) featuring tea party ideas, manners and etiquette.

Beautiful design and art from William Morris and Edgar Degas, among other Victorian Era artists, is featured on stationery, puzzles and gift books. Stationery is packaged as individual cards and in boxed sets. Please, may we never lose the art of correspondence.

The selection of music includes CDs featuring classical, folk and holiday offerings, as well as special titles for youngsters. Often local artists who perform at the museum have their CDs available for purchase. Music and Food titles include An Invitation to Tea and An Afternoon Tea Serenade.

You are welcome to shop with us anytime that the museum is open for tours; simply ring our door bell and ask to visit The Shop.

For your convenience we are happy to accept checks and credit cards.

We thank you for your purchases which support our programming at the Hunter House Victorian Museum.
