Discover What Grown Ups Actually Do (And What They Need to Do It)

Rather a splendid little book, this one. It's the sort of thing that makes you realise you've been approaching adulthood rather haphazardly, armed with little more than optimism and a vague sense that someone else has it all figured out. Spoiler alert: they probably don't, but this book certainly helps.

Why Choose This Book

A Gloriously Honest Look at Real Jobs: Forget the corporate theatre. This is a genuinely rather good exploration of what people actually do for a living, from the splendid to the wonderfully mundane.

Discover Hobbies That Might Just Save Your Sanity: Because let's face it, adulting needs hobbies. This book reveals the sorts of pursuits that keep grown ups properly engaged and marvellously occupied.

Learn the Tools That Make It All Work: Whether professional or personal, each pursuit requires the right equipment. Beautifully illustrated guidance on what you actually need.

Utterly Fetching Illustrations: Owen Davey's rather fabulous artwork makes what could be dry information into something genuinely rather good to look at.

Product Details

Author: Owen Davey

Format: Illustrated hardcover

Perfect For: Anyone navigating adulthood with a combination of enthusiasm and mild confusion. Brilliant as a gift for graduates, career changers, or anyone seeking inspiration.

This is the sort of book that sits rather fetchingly on your shelf whilst actually being useful. Quite the showstopper, really.

SHIPPING + RETURNS


THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!


RETURNS

You have 14 days to return items.

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY
:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

We Have Lots More Like This.........

Hello, we are Sostter....

Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?

We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.

Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.

This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.

A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands

Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.

Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
