Gift shop in Belper

A local gift shop for people from everywhere!

I Believe Belper is the creation of local resident, Michelle Coppins and originally opened back in October 2020. In essence we started out as a seasonal gift shop in Belper with an emphasis on Christmas 365 days a year. From the outset the new shop was given the blessing of the big man himself, Santa, who made a special trip just to conduct the opening ceremony for us, in addition to which we also had some very welcome interest and support from local BBC Radio Derby!

We have since moved to a new, better location and from February 2024 have also re-branded, focusing our efforts on all manner of in-store quality gifts and printed items throughout the year. We no longer therefore have an emphasis on seasonal goods or operate as a 365-day a year Christmas shop, but rest assured we will be back offering our usual selection of quality Christmas products as the time approaches

Our little shop in Belper is no longer just a Christmas / Seasonal Gift shop, we now provide a range of general gifts throughout the year and of course our range of quality products that we can personalise for you. That said, we will also still be catering for all occasions including Christmas, Valentine's, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Belper Pride as well as covering things such as Best Friends, New Baby, Thank You's, Just Because, Quirky Stuff and MORE.

Our Story

No sooner had we opened in 2020, within a week we had to close because of COVID-19 lock-down restrictions. Well, who would open a new shop during a pandemic I hear you ask? Not defeated however, we re-opened again for business on Monday 12th April 2021.

We then moved to a new location in King Street, Belper (The Corn Exchange) in October 2022. Midway through 2023 we expanded our product range to include quality personalised printed goods from Photo Slates to Coasters, T-Shirts to Mugs, Drinks Bottles to Keep Sake Tins and a whole host of other goods besides.

From February 2024, due to the growing popularity of our range of personalised printed products, we decided to re-brand, focusing our efforts on all manner of in-store quality gifts and printed items throughout the year. We no longer therefore have an emphasis on seasonal goods or operate as a 365-day a year Christmas shop, but rest assured we will be back offering our usual selection of quality Christmas products as the time approaches and will also, hopefully, be offering our usual free “Come see Santa” visits for local children.

In addition to our in-store presence we have also decided to offer a range of selected personalised printed goods on-line with our NEW Website now up and running at www.ibelievebelper.co.uk .

We are of course very proud of the standing and reputation we have built in the local community since we opened our little shop back in 2020 and we look forward to welcoming customers old and new going forward both in-store and on-line.

Find your personalised merchandise

In addition to our general gifts, we also now sell personalised merchandise including T-Shirts, Mugs, Coasters, Key Rings, etc. We do not simply use iron-on transfers (which degrade over time) although we can if requested to do so. We concentrate primarily on using a sublimation printer for professional long-lasting results - for the uninitiated, please click here to learn more about sublimation printing. We use this technique to create beautiful personalised slate photos for our customers.
