Another place appealing to my inner hippy! Sadly, the only place locally that also sells Yankee…read moreCandles :( Good for them though, as it seems to bring them lots of business! An amazing range of differnt sized and scented candles, and for a fairly reasonable price. The staff there are awesome, and know what they are on about too. However they are not pushy and are very helpful. I usually fail to come away from this place with nothing! Great range, well priced and good staff. What more could you want from a candle shop? :D

Only Yankee Candle outlet in Southampton…read more Yankee Candle is an American company which specializes is candles. What is different about these candles is that unlike other fragranced candles the fragrance is all the way through the candle not just in the top layer meaning you get the small smell all the way through. The candles are not cheap however they are the nicest smelling candles I have ever smelt. The range is huge and is slit into categories Fresh and Fruit Floral and World Food and Spice and Festives. Smells include Baby Powder, Vanilla Cupcake, Egg Nog, Vanilla Lime, Country Linen, Cherry Lemonade and Granny Smith to name a few. Baby Powder is one of my favorites; it has that lovely baby smell. They also do candle parties which you can book through their website, when they will come to your house with the range. They also do car airfreshners, reeds and a variety of other 'smelly' items! Worth going in even if just to smell all the lovely candles.

They have a nice selection of candles with verses at the very back of the shop, not expensive…read moreeither. Do good deals on card packages. Not a lot of room when busy.

This shop is the largest stockist of Yankee Candles on the South Coast. They also stock Woodwick…read moreCandles (and loads of other brands and fragrancing stuff, and have a huge Giftware range as well). There is always brilliant offers on in-store and they have a free Loyalty scheme where you build up points that then turn into vouchers to spend in store!! As their by-line suggests, this store really is 'Heaven for your Home' - I just love it! The candles and fragrances are amazing and really do smell like they say and last for ages! The gift & baby range is gorgeous - great quality and I can always find something that little bit unusual and special. Just looking at the brilliant window displays is inspriation enough! All the staff are so friendly and helpful - I love a bit of good old fashioned service! I have even had a Home Party which was great fun. They also do Private Shopping - a party in store in the evening for just you and your friends - I have booked one for later on in the year to avoid the xmas crowds!! - (now thats what i call shopping!) Definately worth a visit if you are a fan of Yankee Candles, or simply like lovely things!!

Hmmm.an electic mix of lamps, modern chairs, bookshelves, end tables and cushions etc…read more I find this an odd sort of mix under one not so large roof. It's as if you walk in and magicly will find the item they stock will suit your needs or wants. No seemingly obvious choice of colours. It reminds me a bit of an expensive market, or garage sale. I prefer stores where there are colour options amd alternatives. A pleasant snoop though.

Not a shop to go into if you have children, as I found out the hard way loads of things they can…read moreeasily knock over, so couldnt really enjoy looking round. Having said that they do offer a catalogue which is free so you can browse in the comfort and safety of your home. Loads of nice items for gifts etc, but hard on the pocket price wise..

This hidden gem is a must visit, it has the most beautiful mirrors, crystal chandeliers,…read moremannequins, and gifts you could imagine. All at very reasonable prices. I purchased a huge stunning mirror for £220 i've seen similair ones for at least £800 elsewhere. On speaking to the very modest girl in the shop i don't believe they make a massive ammount per item, but it makes it all more affordable and therefore you want to buy the lot. A must visit treasure trove of delights.

I ended up buying a lovely modern mirror from the young girl who owns the shop who was very helpful staying open late whilst my husband came to collect the mirror in his van. Whilst waiting I browsed all the other items and will definitely be back to buy more items as there's so much lovely stuff all at good honest prices. A credit to Albert Road and Southsea.
