My girlfriend and I really enjoyed ourselves in this store. Delving into an ocean of knick knacks,…read morewe loved some of the extremely unique items they have here. From vintage phones to tape dispensers that look like cassette tapes, there is quite a randomness to this place, but that makes it fun to browse. They have these incredible framed pieces that have the shape of a character/object in a book silhouetted, but instead of the silhouette being filled with black it is filled with the book's text. If you're into book posters, they also had over 10 classic novel cover posters which were quite awesome. They even had vintage and novelty thermoses and ice cube trays that formed the shape of boomboxes. They carry a few "Fred" items, which if you know the brand, are extremely fun and I'm always glad to see them in stores. St. Audrey's is a close walk from Henley's town center, so walk on over to Duke Street and have a look around!

They had lots of really lovely so I'm driving an hour to go back there again tomorrow to look for Christmas pressies. I definitely recommend it it's a new favourite and I know I'll be going back there again and again!

They do have some wonderful window displays and they also seem to have a high stock turnover so it is worthwhile going in every so often just to see what new stock they have. It is also a good place to go if you are after some unusual cards for a birthday etc because they have some very unique ranges of cards, both funny and serious, that you wouldn't find in any other card shops.

Children love this shop too, as there is so much for them to look at. If you want something a bit different for a present, it's worth a look and the staff are also very friendly.

Love From Random is the perfect place to buy a kooky gift (or at this time of year, stocking…read morefiller) when you want something fun or unexpected! For example I recently purchased a book entitled 'Hot Guys with Kittens' for a friend with a penchant for chiselled males and baby animals, and on an entirely different note I got a dummy with a moustache for a mate with a new baby! Literally something for everyone! I'd say the quality of the things they sell all seem pretty high and the owners have great taste in a great range of quirky objets. They also sell a good selection of naughty, pun-tastic and silly cards!

Highly recommended.

It may be over a century old, but the flowers at this pitch in the heart of the city centre are as…read morefresh as fresh can be. The blooms and bouquets from here are radiant and fragrant and always bring a smile to my face on even the gloomiest of Brummie days. This is an ideas stall. This place invents lovely combinations of flowers to give as gifts, and seems to change the bouquets designs daily - just to keep things as fresh as its flowers. However, it also does the classics perfectly. How many Brummies have heard the words 'I love you' accompanied by a Sutton Flower's single red rose? At certain times of the year things become a little different. Easter sees blooms that reflect the festivities, and at Christmas it's also possible to get gifts, cards and wrapping paper. I like to visit just after work, when Birmingham is winding down after a long day. This is when there are bargains to be had, as Sutton Flowers sells off the day's stock ready to start afresh the next day. Put simply, Sutton Flowers is a little ray of sunshine in a busy corner of Brum.
