My colleague introduced this cracking wee shop to me. I was actually needing new windscreen wipers…read morewhich my colleague advised I could get in the shop next door. That's for another review. It's a small shop but it's filled to max with many beautifully hand crafted gifts. They have cards, lots of motivational messages, pretty much gifts for any occasion. The lady will ask if you need any help but I like browse as there is so much to take in. She's very polite and leaves you along. On my second visit I took along my mum and she was very impressed and thought the same as me. After perusing we came across a lovely Christmas gift for her sister. The prices are very reasonable and the lady asked if it was for a gift. When we said yes she carefully wrapped up with a bow. It was beautifully done and I know my auntie will love this wee present. I'm giving nothing away incase she reads this review. Just know it's a lovely gift. The last time I had chatted with the lady I found out that she also runs sewing classes. She said to check out the website for details and she runs the classes in the back of the shop. I have unfortunately never got round to it as I've been so busy lately. I would love to get back into my sewing and I think her classes would be ideal and they're handy to get to. This is definitely a wee shop to pop into and browse as I'm sure you will find a lovely unique gift for that someone special.

I've learned how to sew and made a tote bag in the process! Never knew it could be so much fun and…read moreI've made some great friends too. Ali's shop is fully of quirky and bespoke items. Many of which are made by the very talented Ali herself. Items I've purchased include bespoke hoodies and tops personalised with names in my family tartan. Nothing is ever too creative and Ali always talks you through what can be done. Her rhino range makes me laugh and then there's Ali herself - a lovelier and more creative person you could not meet. This gift shop is so much more than meets the eye. Go to her Facebook page for updates on her classes and what she's creating. Her workshops are fun and incredibly well taught. I went from being unable to sew a button on to a being a proud owner of a sewing machine who can actually use it to make things! I've made a tote bag, learned how to put a zipper in, learned how to embroider and make paper lanterns. Her classes are reasonably priced and always come with a cup of tea/coffee and good banter. Whether you're looking for a unique gift that isn't on the high street or for something creative to do then I wholeheartedly recommend you take a look and pop in for a class.

They sell mainstream items as well which saves you going to town. They also have an extensive range of designer baby and childrenswear which is out of the ordinary. They sell everything from socks and shoes to coats and hats and it is an absolute pleasure to shop there. Attention to detail is their speciality and all the clothing is giftwrapped. Access to the shop is easy but parking can be a bit of a problem. There is a car park at the back of the shopping precinct and at a Lidl store further down.

After the shopping, the eating and the constant shrieking of nonsense that is a girly shopping day, my big cousin and I went with my aunt to pick up my wee cousin from this party.

All her little pals had had a great time too, and what more could you ask for from a kids' party?
