This is a quirky little gift/jewellery shop in one of the back streets of Leigh. Not easy to find…read moreif you don't know Leigh very well, it is tucked down an alley running from Gran Moda in Rectory Grove to Ugos on Broadway West. The girl who owns the shop makes a lot of her own jewellery and will make or customise her stuff to suit you. Its all very reasonably priced and I like the fact that your gift can be totally unique! Also on sale are kids clothes, lots of different accessories and there is always a great, albeit small, selection of cards. Would definitely recommend a visit - but don't turn up too early as I don't think it opens before about 10!

It is hip without trying and full of wonderfully offbeat girly clothes and accessories. Everything is beautifully displayed and there is a fantastic selection of jewellery, accessories and some highly covetable hand-made clutch bags. They don't come cheap, but nothing in Leigh ever does!

There are some really unusual things, especially the toys. I think the owner said that she goes to france to buy a lot of them. The jewellery in particular is really nice and I have found it to be not too expensive. The lady who owns it is lovely and always remembers you welcomes you in, she doesn't make you feel like she doesn't want you there if you are not buying anything.

Great place to look for home and gifts for ladies, it's a very grown up shop although you can get…read morechildrens toys too it's a place you'd want to visit alone as there's so much to see and the choice is superb. The cards and wrapping paper are a bit expensive but you need expensive paper for classy gifts!

Their range of gifts is excellent, candles, photo frames, lovely toiletries, nik naks for the home, etc. They also sell a few clothing accessories, ie. scarfs, pashminas, bags, etc. and some jewellery which is reasonably priced. They always have beautiful christmas decorations too (worth a visit in January when they are all half price!). Their prices aren't cheap but they're not too over the top either. Worth a visit.

Fives are also a champion for local music and are a real help to local unsigned bands, offering in-store showcases, selling vinyl/ CDs with little or no mark up and always promoting gigs. With an excellent selection of vinyl and a really great catalogue of blues, jazz and classical as well as all the new releases there really is something for everyone if you have time to browse. Also if you need something they will order it in and call you when it's in. Great service, great shop and independent! Hope it's around in Leigh for many more years.

A mediocre record store at best. There is quite a big selection of discs available with all of the…read moremajor artists covered and there is a big discount DVD/Music DVD section, but it wouldn't hurt if the store had a bit of a makeover. From the prices that they charge you'd think that you were getting some great service but they don't seem particularly interested in making either conversation or recommendations so all the times I've visited its been somewhat of a sombre affair. I must be honest I don't even remember them having music playing which is odd for a record shop??? Its a shame because with a bit of love and attention it could be truly great. The stock is there, its just laid out in such a drab fashion that it makes you forget it existed. Get rid of the dull grey cantilever wall racks, make it look a bit more airy and up to date and perhaps involve some customer service and it would go far!
