There are various items for the home such as candles, sprays, linen and pillows. There is a small selection of clothes and night wear including dressing gowns.

I'd definitely recommend going in the sales!

This shop will take you back to your childhood. The service is also really good as I asked if they sold a certain type of item and the lady said they used to and went to their store room to see if they had any of the items left. Unfortuantely they did not but she went out of her way to help me.

There has been a undertone of unfriendliness on the majority of my visits, but today was awful - within 30 seconds, I was told to make sure my five year old didn't touch anything, which a) I've addressed as a parent oh, for like as long as he could walk b) is obnoxious given IT'S A TOY STORE and c) was mentioned the moment we walked in the door. Without this incident, I have reasons to not love this shop - it tends to carry large ranges of the same thing (I.e. Lego, wooden trains) and I found there were gaps in the selection, particularly for toddlers. It also charges fairly premium prices - I once got a simple origami set and a card for a 4 year old girl and it was close to £20. So, it costs the earth and doesn't appear to welcome kids - hardly a winning option.
