    Woodlander is pricey, but it specialises in novelties and little presents. Located on the posher…read moreend of Ashby's shops - which includes a couple of clothing boutiques, a flower shop and a deli - it stocks a lot of Cath Kidston, Radley and Alessi, with large sections for homeware like photo albums, scented candles and kitchen utensils. They keep some natural-style cosmetics and bath products around - a lot of Crabtree and Evelyn, Burt's Bees and some kind of Lush knockoff with tiny bath bombs. Overall their stock is aimed for the average middle-aged, middle-class Ashbeian, and it all tesselates into one 'Woodlander' collection rather than many different brands and styles. I can imagine a Woodlander Christmas, or a family building their home with Woodlander pieces - there's just enough variation to please different crowds and still fit a loose aesthetic. Atmosphere-wise, it's just OK. It looks nice, it's quiet and staff generally leave you alone. However, I find myself patronised or just treated oddly by staff every time I buy anything or ask questions - I'm a sixth former and I don't come from a wealthy background, so I'm not really their target market, but I'd like to be able to shop normally. I've sometimes found myself being watched, as though I'm going to steal or break something - not the kind of service I like! I rarely visit, even rarer buy things - it's difficult to find anything that costs less than £10 or so, and I'd rather go somewhere more welcoming - but I've bought a quirky coaster, gift tins of glow in the dark stars and Jelly Belly candles here for Christmas presents, and all were really well-received. I'd come here again if I needed a present in a pinch, or if I just wanted some inspiration.

    Just on the fringe of Ashby town centre, Woodlander is gift shop containing a wide variety of…read moreitems, perfect for when you're looking for that something special for a present. It has wide variety of bags including Radley and Kipling, which my wife finds endlessly fascinating. The cookware section although small contains a wide variety of kitchen gadgets, some of which you never knew you needed! The giftware section is brilliant for birthdays, weddings and christenings, or a gift for the person that literally seems to have everything! The staff are friendly and helpful, and have a good knowledge of their stock. Woodlander may not be the cheapest, but if you are looking for a quality present, it is difficult to beat.

    Mantique - Nice store for keys and shoe repairs

    Just a nice little store close to the center of Swadlincote, just over the street from my bank…read more(Barclays) and my barber (Sweeney Swad). This little store has been run since 1997 by the same man (only staff) who served me today - basically cutting me a new key (living in a centuries old manor home means you are using "historic" keys - and he can grind them for you. Great, prompt, polite service and very interesting guy to chat to (as I did). I think the main business is the keys and shoe repairs. Strangely much of his limited space is taken up with a gigantic (given the small size of the store) collection of Steiff "button in ear" Teddy Bears. https://www.steiffteddybears.co.uk/more-things-steiff/steiff-button-in-ear.php. Now that is weird - don't you think?? If the shoe repairs are as good and as prompt as the key cutting then you will be happy! He did have a few (VERY few) pairs of shoes. I LOVED the Jeffery West men's shoes https://www.jeffery-west.co.uk/ - the coolest that I have EVER seen for sure - see pics of the soles - the tops are equally awesome in terms of style, quality and more (shiny black leather, bright red laces an stitching - NICE!!!!
