Ask Jones

He hasn't got a clue.

JONES — Welsh answers from a Welsh bloke

Welsh Shopping

Jones doesn't actually sell anything. He just has opinions. Strong ones.

Gift ideas for Mam

Hand-carved Love Spoon
Traditional, wooden, and quietly more romantic than anything from a shop with a website.
Priceless, allegedly — ask your Taid how much he paid
Welsh Cake Bakestone
Cast iron, family heirloom energy, comes with zero recipe because everyone's Nain's is "the real one."
Worth more than the house, according to Nain
Daffodil Brooch
For St David's Day, weddings, funerals, and Tuesdays.
One (1) per lapel, non-negotiable
A Framed Photo of a Sheep
Every Welsh front room has one. Nobody remembers buying it. It has always been there.
Sentimental value only

The Rugby Aisle

Replica Shirt (Any Decade)
Doesn't matter which year. You will wear it to every match regardless.
A Very Loud Scarf
Red, white, occasionally soaked through by half-time.
Commemorative Grand Slam Tea Towel
Too nice to actually dry anything with. Framed, most likely.
One (1) Enormous Flag
For draping over shoulders, balconies, and the occasional statue.

Jones's Personal Recommendations

Honestly? Skip the shop, go to an actual market in Wales, and buy whatever the stallholder insists is "the good stuff." They are always right. I don't know how they do it.

Back to Ask Jones Home — go on, ask him something, he's dying for the company.
