From the outside this place looks similar to a couple of other 'We Sell Everything' shops along Dumbarton Road but once you step inside...that's when the MAGIC hits you!
This place is a combination of half 'sells everything but the kitchen sink' (although they probably DO have one actually...) & half car boot/secondhand stall/shop. The 1st time I went in I couldn't believe just HOW MUCH stuff they have in here...the shelves are heaving, nae CRYING with amount of stock piled (and I mean actually just piled) on them. If you like a good old rummage when you shop or you're a car-boot sale fan then I think you'll like this place.
Outside the shop they usually seem to have 2nd hand bikes of questionable origin (legality even?) for sale, bags (but not the infamous 'SEX' bag which they used to have, as I am now the proud owner of that delightful bag, oh yes. Control your jealousy please) & other such things. On the inside I can't even begin to list all they sell, but I shall try...*takes deep breath* lamps,candles,mugs,pots,brushes,knitting needles,screws,old Xbox's,old Sky+ boxes, 2nd hand books,gloves, oil burners,cutlery,kitchenware,board games,ornaments,cigarette lighters,cheap perfume,Liquid Gold,etc...etc... SO MUCH! If you walk out of here empty handed then you are a stronger willed person than I am (which isn't hard to be fair).
I must warn you, if you have any kind of neatness/tidiness OCD then DO NOT enter this establishment; you will probably cry then run screaming from the place. At times when browsing I am genuinely worried I am going to knock something/everything off the shelf because things are placed so precariously on top of other 'things'...its an accident waiting to happen and I don't wanna be the person that has that, no doubt PRICELESS, weird dog(?) face thing ornament topple onto the floor smashing into a thousands pieces of weird dog(?) face things. So be careful when you're browsing in here people. As the saying goes: Touchy touchy lightly monkey.
Amongst all this utter craziness you will maybe come across a rare, quality find that will make you smile & say 'I've always wanted one of these!' and at that point you know Mr/Ms.Cut Price Gift Shop have done their job. They made a sale & made your day (probably). They are happy bunnies(?). read more
