Fantastic shop. It's changed over the years a fair bit in appearance and function. When I was young…read moremy parents would take me here to get model planes and cars as well as having ornaments for around the home for themselves. The home furnishing and ornamental side is pretty much the same however the toys and models have been gone for some time now, replaced (handy for us) by baby gear. Prams, car seats, cots etc. The range is very impressive indeed, they will have something for everyone, from well priced entry level prams to the Rolls-Royce type top of the line stuff. The pram we were interested in was demonstrate to us by very knowledgeable and friendly staff who made selecting the right stuff a breeze. When we then saw the same one slitghtly cheaper elsewhere they even matched the price. Customer focused shopping experience just the way it should be.

This shop is exactly what it says on the tin. It is books, books and more books. Many of these can…read morecome in at about £1 to £5 and is probably the best place to get an annual of a bizarre autobiography. It wouldn't be the best place to try and get cutting edge, up to the minute fiction but is a great place to get almanacs or books on gardening etc. The place is always bunged with people and the books are piled high so it can seem a bit cluttered and isn't always the most calming place to be in but its ok if you have a bit of time to have a look through the seemingly endless piles of books. The staff are friendly and helpful and this is definitely a place to try and get a last minute present for your parents or grandparents.

At Christmas Bargain Books sells 3 rolls of wrapping paper and 1 roll of sticky tape for £2. So…read morethere you go, it is not just bargain books it is bargain everything. As I have already mentioned the main time I would go into Bargain Book is at Christmas time. Everyone has been there, it is Christmas Eve and you're still struggling to find a few presents for friends and relatives and you haven't even started your wrapping. Well that is when Bargain Books comes in handy, located in Bloomfield's shopping centre with great parking and ATM access Bargain Books is sue to bail you out. There is something for everyone in this shop, it sells books and bit and bobs for kids to grandparents. As the name suggests it will not break the bank either. I love Bargain Books for exactly that reason, even if you are out shopping and you want peace and quiet on the way home you could find a book or two to keep the kids entertained in the back of the car.

My future mother in law is a retired florist and recently I was asking her to recommend a good…read moreflorist as I wanted to get a nice bouquet delivered to my friend who had just had a baby. She very highly recommended Floral Designs in Bangor. As I don't live in Bangor I was quite surprised that she recommended somewhere away from where I live - their reputation is that good she told me. I rang up and made a telephone order for a bouquet with the total value of 25 pounds including delivery. I didn't get to see the order but the woman on the phone asked my lots of questions about the flowers I like and the colours I would prefer. I was very impressed and was willing to give them business purely on her telephone manner. My friends flowers arrived the next day and she was delighted, she mentioned that the bunch was massive and the smells were exquisite. I've since been in the shop itself and it is just as nice inside as I thought it would be. I received an efficient and friendly service and was conveniently able to pay over the phone. My friend was pleased and so was I - a good recommendation altogether.
