and is now in its 18th year. These awards are universally recognised
as being true accolades of achievement and to even be nominated is an achievement in itself.
Unfortunately,
because of the current pandemic, the awards ceremony in London had to be a virtual event with a live screening on Wednesday 30th September. Janet, Sara and Sara’s daughters Lucy and Annie all got dressed up for the screening, bubbles flowed and their smiles said it all when their name was announced as the Scottish winner. They have worked tirelessly and richly deserve this award; if you have not been in this wonderful shop then do yourselves a favour and pay a visit. The service is impeccable, the displays are eye-catching and tastefully done and you are guaranteed to find the highest quality and best selection of gifts for all ages and occasions.

be cherished.
This is exactly what happened to Ewe & Me in Grantown and all credit to the three generations of family who have made it possible.
Their story started in Gairloch 40 years ago with mother Janet opening the doors for the first time and then moved on to Grantown,
just before the new millennium. In the interim the family also opened a branch in Aberlour, successfully run by daughter Sara until her relocation to Grantown a few years ago to help run not only the gift shop but also to open a clothing shop – Ewe Too – directly opposite the original gift shop.
At the beginning of the year they were excited to hear that they had been nominated, along with five other Scottish retailers, for the award - the Greats Gift Retailer Awards - which is
run by Progressive Gifts and Home Magazine
