A lovely little shop full of little items for the kitchen and home. Lots of items suitable to give as gifts too, books (for example the "Ladybird Guide to Husbands", mugs etc. My particular favourite things are the Scrabble-related things. I've already bought a nice Scrabble mug and I have my eye on the fridge magnets. For the hipster vinyl enthuisiasts amongst you there are also portable gramophone players.

This place is very glitzy, full of very glamorous home furnishings. It's a little too James Bond for me but I still really enjoy looking through the Marilyn influenced prints and cushions, the shiny and unusual gift wrapping, the ceiling of retro inspired lights. And, of course, they always stock some patriotic- England at Home- items usually with a twist on the British flag. Some of the decorative items and the furniture (red velvet armchair!) are bold and some are more sleek and designery, some are just fun- there is always something to look at though and there is bound to be something that sparks an idea or that would make a great gift. The prices range from a few pounds for the cards to several hundred for some of the large canvas prints and furniture.

See all

Run by veteran antique dealer Paul Downs and his partner April, SWAG is a stylish and unique…read moreshowroom that displays distinctive pieces of antique furniture. Everything is sourced by the couple themselves and as a result, you'll find old leather arm chairs and 1930s sofas next to stainless steel cabinets, wooden chests, trunks and unusual lights. The quality and originality of the stock means the prices venture towards the expensive. For those with a smaller budget however, there's also a small selection of paintings, decorative letters, statues, world globes and mirrors. Since the couple are so friendly, it's also worth making them an offer if there's something you really want but can't quite stretch to.

On first glance I thought this antiques shop looked slightly austere, and in fact I wasn't even…read moresure it WAS an antique shop at first, so sparsely arranged and high quality is the furniture. However, on closer inspection Swag proves to be a very stylish showroom of the highest quality antique furniture and home furnishings. It is an unusual experience compared with many of Brighton's other secondhand furniture dealers, who generally inhabit musty, cavernous shops, characterised by clutter and chaos. Swag is clean and polished; full of 1930s and 1940s office and home furnishings that would fit perfectly in a Film Noir set. I particularly like the metal desk lamps...they really capture something of another time. Although I personally enjoy the rummaging treasure-hunt aspect of the more casual antique/ junk shops in town, I do admire the experience and precision and with which the owners have sourced their collection. The stock is beautiful, just a little pricey for me! A great place to find striking one-offs if you have money to burn.

I'm not so sure about this place really. It calls itself the Brighton Discount Store, and on the…read morefront of the shop it claims to be the best place for students in town, but when I went in looking for a simple, compact shelving unit, the items I was shown ranged from £40-£100+ and way out of my price range. The stock is pretty utilitarian furniture, beds, shelves, chest of drawers etc...and will pretty much do what it say on the tin. If you want really cheap stuff though, I would recommend going to Shabitat, Emmaeus or the Hove YMCA. However the problem with these places is that although you might find exactly what you want, you also might not get a whiff for weeks. Therefore the plus side is of course, that you get what you want straight away, and if not, you can get order it in for an extra tenner. Second hand double beds (£75) and single beds (£45) caught my attention, and could well be useful to know, especially as letting agents don't always provide them.

Discount Furniture doesn't have a large selection of stock, but it's definitely cheap. They sell…read moremostly bedroom furniture mixed in with sofas, and advertise special rates for both students and landlords. Most wooden items were pine, which has that cheap-look to it, but the couches looked to be of good quality. I must also mention the sports car bed. I've never actually seen one - just on television, and I think, at 5'3", I could probably fit into it. Just keeping my options open.

I don't know about you but I really don't have the space or the inclination to get a stuffed Ugly doll, an Union Jack tote bag, a multi-pack of plastic moustaches or lipstick plasters. The only thing I find vaguely tempting is the plastic necklace of Haiwain flowers and I already have two at home!

They seem to present themselves as the answer to all your gift buying troubles, as if the word 'gift' inherently requires an item which is plastic, gimmicky and fundamentally useless! About 10 years ago when you couldn't buy anything frivolous or fun in England, Cissy Mo would have been novel, but these days we've got all the useless tat we need thanks, so who is still buying plastic kitchen utensils that look like they belong in Yo Sushi,? I realize my tone is harsh, but it really does perplex me- is anyone actually happy when they receive a comedy dustbin or a hoody-shaped ipod holder? I just don't think present buying could get more impersonal... They have an alright selection of cards, some of which are actually quite amusing. What I do really approve of is the gorgeous Liberty make-up and wash-bags they are currently selling- they look extremely out of place in all their floral glory, but for the very first time I was tempted to make a Cissy Mo purchase.

I was mesmerized by some grogeous little lanterns hanging in the window and when I noticed the amazing textiles inside, I had to go in and take a look. As you walk in, you feel as if you're entering a Middle Eastern bazaar (only without the noise and hustle and bustle!)...there are beautiful prints everywhere you look: floor, wall and shelf. The place has so much atmosphere, you can almost smell the hookah smoke! That said, it also very tranquil, a really nice place to mosy about admiring rugs, curtains, cushion covers and more. The items are mostly sourced from Asia and the Middle East and they get new stock in quite regularly, so its always worth popping in for a look. They have a beautiful selection of hand-made mugs- I bought some for myself and they are really lovely to drink coffee from. It's worth checking if they have any damaged ones, as they will be reduced to £3 (less than half price)- an absolute bargain!

If you've already got your floors furnished, they also sell a small selection of wooden cabinets, drawers, throws, blankets, cushions, photographic prints and Eastern lamps.
