byvonne

byvonne is a family-run gift shop at The Hunter Valley Gardens Shopping Village in Pokolbin, offering handmade goods, locally made products and practical gifts in the heart of the Hunter Valley vineyards. It is a useful stop for visitors exploring the gardens or looking for something connected to the region, with the shop carrying Hunter Valley souvenirs alongside homewares, jewellery, artwork and decorative pieces.

Handmade soy wax candles are the shop’s speciality, created by Yvonne in the Hunter Valley. The range also includes resin and wooden jewellery, resin art, cheeseboards and platters, coasters, watercolour paintings and other crafts made by the business. For visitors wanting a small memento, the locally made souvenir selection includes postcards, fridge magnets and keyrings, as well as other Hunter Valley-themed products.

The business is run by Yvonne and Ross Welsh. After six years at the Wyong Milk Factory, byvonne moved to Pokolbin in November 2021, with Yvonne continuing to work from the shop and a home workshop. Yvonne is a prize-winning artist whose work has been shown at the Royal Easter Show and Gosford Regional Gallery, adding an established creative practice to the shop’s handmade focus.

Alongside its own products, byvonne stocks selected ranges including BoldB Jewellery and RIVSALT products, and now offers custom laser engraving by quotation. That makes it suited to visitors searching for a personal gift, a locally made souvenir, handmade homewares or a custom item, whether shopping solo, with family or as part of a Hunter Valley day out. The store is at Shop 5, The Hunter Valley Gardens Shopping Village, 2090 Broke Road, Pokolbin, and has a 5.0 Google rating from 12 reviews.
