Our Story

Things I like first opened its doors in May 2014 in Lyme Regis.  It is the pride of husband & wife team, Jane & Chris who had lived in Lyme for 20 years, running Cafes as well as shops.

The business grew when Jane and Chris opened a second store on Market Square in Sidmouth and little by little, and with no real plan or design, a Concept was born. As the business grew, so too did the team and the family business began to extend into hiring local people. 

Jane is the main buyer for the stores but Chris works closely with her to curate a never ending array of beautiful and unusual products.

The stores have a strong ethos and only stock items that Jane and Chris would have in their own home(Hence the name Things I Like) From handmade artists and designers ,that they love ,to the beautiful toys that they would buy for their grandchildren. Be it a card that they would send, a pair of earrings Jane would wear or a print that would adorn their walls, it all had to be things they liked.

They end result is a beautiful, unique and quirky mix of products that appeal to all ages and guarantee a smile.
