Every time I visit Cassiopeia to buy gifts for my friends and family, I end up leaving with a few extra "presents"for myself, otherwise I'd just want to keep theirs. I'm especially obsessed about their selection of candles, glassware, jewellery, greeting cards, scarves and Scottish Art.
The shop is so pretty and inspiring inside and staff are so friendly, welcoming and helpful, I get excited about going back.
Their service is just perfect. Not too "in-your-face", but always attentive, caring and helpful. Their personalised service is ideal for people who have no idea what they are looking for (me sometimes). Cassiopeia staff are fantastic at asking all the right questions about the occasion, the gift recipient, their likes and dislikes...and in a matter of minutes, they always seem to find a few perfect gift options (all of which I want to keep) based on my budget and their suggestions.
What really makes it special for me is that Cassiopeia only work with independent artists and designers, focusing particularly on Scottish talent. I love learning all about their new Scottish Art and jewellery designers when I visit - the owners really know what they're selling and are doing it with a passion about every product in the shop. It's pretty inspiring. It also makes the gifts a little more special with a story behind them - unlike any of the supermarket stuff.
They've just redesigned their new website and are going to be selling their beautiful products online soon - my family in England are already excited!
I really recommend Cassiopeia to anyone. There is so much choice from unusual home-ware and kitchen ware as well as all kinds of gifts for any gender, age and preferences including babies!
Thanks to Cassiopeia I'm able to shop local and truly surprise my closest ones with such unusual presents! read more
