One of my favourite places in Salisbury for gift shopping for friends and family. There is an…read moreamazing array of wooden and carved items from magic wands, jigsaws and wooden swords etc. to olive wood bowls and platters to driftwood mirrors and garden items. It's a must visit place and also a feel-good place as the stock is ethically sourced and 100% natural.

G&T's is a great little card shop thats really cheap too. They have all sorts of offers on cards,…read moresome cards are as cheap as 29p and they are really nice. Along with cards, you have gift boxes, gift wrap, invitations, balloons, diarys, Ornaments, gift ideas, stickers and much more. The shop gets busy and its not huge, so best to go midweek and not a Saturday!

Cute little store that advertises itself as "oriental gifts and collectables", which from the…read moreoutside made me expect one of those places that mainly carries teapots, incense, and folding fans. All of which they do have. But the keyword here is collectables, there is a lot of geeky and nerdy stuff in this shop, Asian pop themed as well as general. Anime stuff, action figures, Star Wars shirts, all sorts of things along with some pretty nice teapots, incense, and so on.

This shop is the largest stockist of Yankee Candles on the South Coast. They also stock Woodwick…read moreCandles (and loads of other brands and fragrancing stuff, and have a huge Giftware range as well). There is always brilliant offers on in-store and they have a free Loyalty scheme where you build up points that then turn into vouchers to spend in store!! As their by-line suggests, this store really is 'Heaven for your Home' - I just love it! The candles and fragrances are amazing and really do smell like they say and last for ages! The gift & baby range is gorgeous - great quality and I can always find something that little bit unusual and special. Just looking at the brilliant window displays is inspriation enough! All the staff are so friendly and helpful - I love a bit of good old fashioned service! I have even had a Home Party which was great fun. They also do Private Shopping - a party in store in the evening for just you and your friends - I have booked one for later on in the year to avoid the xmas crowds!! - (now thats what i call shopping!) Definately worth a visit if you are a fan of Yankee Candles, or simply like lovely things!!

This place is a blessing! Mike Eastwood who owns this…read morebusiness has been doing this for 20 years. It is coming froma very real place, if you know what I mean. AiristiA has a fantastic website as well and they sell a huge range of well chosen crystals, books, CD's and DVD's, cards and jewllery, insense, essential oils, etc. Ok, so there are many such shops around these days, but here's none like this one. And if you are interested in crystals, then this is an important place to be in touch with. Mike sources crystals from some special places - crystal skulls, Lemurians, new age crystals and his beautiful set of Nine Chakra Healing Crystals. These are absolutely amazing! Also they run interesting, worthwhile courses and there are practitioners who work from the shop as well.

This is a shop specialising in crystals and books of a spiritual and philosophical nature. If you…read moreare interested in crystals (and their healing properties) then unlike many other similar shops this is the place I would recommend as they seem very serious and knowledgeable about them. If you are not so deeply interested it is still a great place to visit as they also sell a lot of beautiful jewellery and you can find some lovely items that would make excellent gifts.
