This shop, as the name suggests, sells everything gifts, from the actuall gifts themselves to the paper to wrap them in and the tag to attatch. In the run up to christmas it is a great shop to visit for some last minute shopping as you can normally find something for everyone although I would suggest most ornaments which is the majority of gifts would probably be more suited to more elderly people. They also will wrap fragile gifts for you. Visit this shop and see the good value gifts on sale for yourself. You can walk in with nothing and walk out with a gift wrapped and a card to go with it

This a really lovely local card shop. They have a great selection of cards for all occasions and…read morethey are all very well price. Some of the cards are as low as 59p, and the quality is much nicer than some of the other cheap card shops found in town centres. They don't just sell cards though, there is also a selection of stationery at very reasonable prices, great if you've run out of something. They also stock some small gifty type things although I'm not so sure about these, the quality doesn't seem so great. But if you're after a card I'd definitely give this shop a try.

Jenny Wren Gallery isn't really an art gallery, nor is it a gifts & cards shop; it's a bit of both,…read morebut at the same time, the shop is impossible to catagorise. Mainly because the store sells some of the most unusual items that I've ever seen. Jenny Wren is absolutely jam-packed full of surprises, from odd little Russian Dolls, to tiny little shoes made from jewels, to really detailed puppets. It's probably not advisable to bring children into the shop, because a lot of items, (including the puppets) have 'do not touch' signs on them; and there are quite a few breakable objects around the store too. I literally could've bought all of the puppets, especially the Henry the 8th one. Each puppet is amazingly crafted. Okay, so they're a little pricey, but well worth the money. The outside of the store looks a little generic and stereotypically, highbrow 'gallery-like'. I think the shop could entice more customers to view the wonders inside if it dressed the store front more funkily, in order to reflect the products sold. One thing I will say, they could so with cutting back on the perfume smells in the shop, I'd appreciate that greatly. I couldn't get the smell out of my nose until the next day - it nearly knocked me out in the shop too!
