Range has been open for a couple of years now in York and is situated just next door to Monks Cross…read moreretail park so it's really handy. They've taken over the space where the old Asda used to be so there is ample parking. Range literally does sell a huge range of things! I am particularly impressed with the range (ha ha) of crafty bits and bobs - my daughter (3) is really into painting, (well, splatting) and gluing/sticking, and Range has everything you need for that, including aprons! (a must) They also have a DIY section, not too familiar with that, (other halfs department), a kitchen and home wares section as well as soft furnishings and lots of storage solutions. There really is no method to the store, it simply seems to have everything so I'm not going to go on to tell you about the extensive pet department.. it's fab, from budgies to goldfish, guinea pigs to dogs - Range has everything for our furry friends! Now over to the Garden department, again, lots of bits and bobs for the green fingered amongst you to get your teeth into. Toys, ahh yes, toys.. and lots of them.. be prepared for the 'I wants' Then finally towards the tills where there is for sale various food stuffs.. This review has left me exhausted, as does range, as it really is HUGE.. leave yourself plenty of time to browse! I must also recommend you have a look round during the festive season as they pull out all the stops with trees and lights

When we go here we always end up spending money…read more As their name suggests, they have quite a range of stuff here. From jam jars to tents; artists paint brushes and canvas to power drills, via bedroom furniture, cleaning and garden supplies and plants you'll find lots of things you need, and many more you don't (but buy anyway!). Some of their departments tend towards the poor quality end of the spectrum, but garden supplies and kitchenware are well worth a visit. One thing to avoid though the café. Expensive and not too impressive, why not grab a snack from the food available by the tills on the way out.

Snow Home is a lovely shop selling furniture and other homeware such as clocks and pictures. They…read moresell some gorgeous contemporary items of really high quality but everything there is quite expensive so I don't often shop there. Very trendy, modern, but expensive shop which sells some gorgeous items.

I only went to Homebase for the first time last week, as I normally go to B and Q for my DIY needs…read more I found Homebase really similar in terms of prices and product range. Would go to either one of them in the future as like I said there's not much difference between the two. I also found the staff at Homebase really helpful in helping me find what I wanted.
