Your favourite Whitby view, with a warm glow
There’s something comforting about bringing a familiar place into your home. A walk up the 199 Steps, an evening beside the harbour or the Abbey against a dramatic sky—choose the Whitby scene that brings back your favourite memories.
Place your light up bottle on a side table, mantelpiece or display shelf and enjoy the photograph by day and its gentle illumination in the evening. It’s a small decorative feature that can make a cosy corner feel that little bit more inviting.
Easy to switch on and enjoy
Our Whitby light up bottles run on one AA battery, so you can display them without a trailing power cable or a nearby plug socket. The light unit at the top is easy to switch on and off.
Watch our short demonstration to see how the light works and how to fit or replace the battery.
A thoughtful Whitby gift for someone special
Looking for a Whitby gift for her, for him or for a couple who return to the town year after year? A light up bottle is a lovely way to give them a reminder of somewhere they love.
Choose a snowy harbour for someone who enjoys winter by the coast, an illuminated Abbey for a lover of Whitby’s dramatic skyline, or a colourful sunset over the 199 Steps. The personal touch comes from choosing a view that means something to them.
Beautiful on a shelf or side table, these bottles make welcoming birthday, Christmas and housewarming gifts—or a little treat to bring home your own memories of Whitby.
A cosy touch for every season
As autumn evenings draw in, a glowing Whitby bottle looks lovely beside warm wood, soft blankets and seasonal foliage. In winter, snowy scenes sit beautifully among Christmas decorations or bring a little warmth to a quiet evening at home.
The coastal views are just as appealing through spring and summer. Display a colourful harbour scene on a hallway console, brighten a sheltered indoor dining corner or enjoy a favourite sunset photograph as daylight fades.
Choose the scene you love and give it a place in your home throughout the year.
