An all-year-round trinkets and baubles shop is bringing in the Christmas spirit this year with a move into a much larger high street shop.
The Rum Lot - which began as a pop-up and offers a wide selection of more than 750 different baubles and "bespoke" gifts - will triple its overall floorspace in the move.
It is currently located at 162 London Road South in Kirkley and will move just 50 metres up the road to 169.
Owner Alice Taylor, 65, said things have been going "very well" since the shop's opening last November and the new space will prove a "much better experience" for shoppers.
"The Rum Lot is all about doing things for the people of Kirkley and Lowestoft," she said.

"We sell lots of different items for all the different seasons. People always come in very happy and surprised.
"It's a very unique shop which stays open all year round and there aren't many like it here.
"It's a style of shop that is very popular outside the UK but not often seen locally."
Ms Taylor was born in England before moving to America with her airman father and British mother aged five. She attended university in Ohio and completed a master's degree in Texas.
She has since "found her way home" to Lowestoft where she enjoys running the shop in retirement.
A tentative opening date for the new location has been set for January 15, depending on how quickly decorations can be completed.
