December Arrives at Home of Hopcroft, and the Festive Magic Begins


There is something special about the moment the calendar flips to December. Even if the build up has felt endless in some shops, the start of the month always brings a spark of excitement. The lights feel brighter, the days feel busier, and the countdown feels very real. Whether you are already full of festive cheer or still waiting for that Christmas feeling to settle in, we are here to help you along.

December has a habit of rushing past in a blur, so this year we want to make sure every visit to Home of Hopcroft feels like a little moment of calm. A place to browse, discover and enjoy the season at your own pace. If you are searching for inspiration, a meaningful present or that special treat for yourself, you will find it waiting for you on Kirkcaldy High Street or online with just a click.

A Month Filled With Late Night Shopping and Festive Sundays

We know December days can disappear in no time, so our Late Night Thursdays continue this week from 4pm to 7pm. The shop feels different in the evening, with a cosy glow, relaxed browsing and a chance to take your time with no rush. It is one of our favourite times of the week and we love seeing so many of you using it as your Christmas shopping ritual.

Sundays are now part of the festive season too. Throughout December we are open from 10am to 4pm, giving you even more flexibility to visit when it suits you best. Whether you are squeezing in a quick gift run or making a day of it around the High Street, our doors are open and our shelves are full.

Celebrating Five Years of Home of Hopcroft

New home and giftware shop opens in historic Kirkcaldy building

This December is more than the start of the festive season, it also marks a milestone for us. Home of Hopcroft is officially five years old this week and we could not be prouder of how far our little family business has come. From a small online print shop to a welcoming High Street homeware and gift store, every step has been shaped by the incredible support of our customers.

To celebrate, this Saturday we will be offering prosecco and mince pies to everyone who pops in. It is our way of saying thank you for helping us reach five years and for being part of our journey. There will be special offers, treats and a few birthday surprises throughout the day, so come along and enjoy the celebration with us.

Gifts, Prints and Brand New Arrivals

This is always the most exciting part of the year inside the shop. Boxes arrive, new pieces are added to displays and fresh designs make their debut. We have a huge range of new products across home fragrance, seasonal decor, Scottish gifts and cosy winter treats. Many of our favourites are created right here in house, including custom prints that can be personalised for family, friends or even your own wall at home.

There are gifts for every budget, from thoughtful small tokens to statement pieces that make a real impact. If you love discovering something a little different, this is the moment to explore.

And if you are shopping for someone who is famously hard to choose for, our Home of Hopcroft Gift Vouchers are the perfect answer. Treat them to the freedom of browsing in store or online and let them pick something they truly love.

The 2026 Kirkcaldy Calendar, Already a Local Star

We have to talk about the calendar. Our very first 2026 Kirkcaldy calendar has taken on a life of its own. They have been flying off the shelves from the moment they arrived and the feedback has been incredible. Each page captures the personality of the town with soft watercolour with ink art that feels both nostalgic and modern.

It has quickly become the most popular item in store this season and we genuinely could not be happier. For a first edition it has exceeded every hope and we are already excited to make this a yearly tradition.

If you have not picked one up yet, now is the time. Once they are gone, they are gone.

A December Thank You, Just for You

We know that choosing to shop local matters and we want to give something back. Throughout the whole month of December, if you spend over £50 in a single transaction, we will give you a £10 voucher to return and treat yourself in January. It is a simple thank you from us to you and a lovely reason to pop back in the new year.

Pop In, Shop Online and Enjoy the Season With Us

Whether you visit us on foot or browse from the comfort of your sofa with a warm drink in hand, we are delighted to share December with you. This month is about connection, thoughtful gifting and enjoying the magic that builds with each day.

We hope to see you soon; at one of our late night Thursdays & during our festive Sunday hours. The shelves are stocked, the prints are ready, the candles are glowing and the new arrivals keep coming.

December is here at last and we cannot wait to share it with you at Home of Hopcroft.
