Destined for Home: Leith Gift Shop Relocates to Gullane

0:00It's March 27, Edinburgh news today starts now, AI powered and ready. A beloved gift shop in Leith called Destin for Home is shedding its doors on Constitution Street this weekend. Owner Karen announced they're relocating to Galen in East Lothian after nearly 10 years in business. The shop stocks everything from cards and clothes to homeware and trinkets. The move comes because the landlord is selling the building to turn it into residential flats. Karen fully supports the change, noting that Leith desperately needs more housing options amid too many short-term lets. Locals have shared their sadness online, with many expressing dismay over losing this local favorite, just shy of its 10-year mark. Karen shared the news in a social media video, stressing its relocation, not a closure, and the timing feels right for a fresh start. Swing by before the 29th of March for those last favorite picks, and keep an eye out for their new spot in Galen. Come April!
