I love this gift shop because it looks like it used to be a little cottage and it is very cute! It has been decked out with wooden flooring and when you are the only person in the shop you can feel a bit self conscious as you clatter across the creaky floorboards like a baby elephant! Other than that though, this is a lovely little shop. There are really nice handmade cards and all the usual gift shop staples such as scented candles and cutesy hot water bottles. However you can also find some funky Suzy Smith leather handbags and purses and some really interesting jewelry. The lady who owns the shop is really friendly and always asks if you need a hand, and if you say you don't then she happily leaves you to it.
Etoile is definitely worth a visit if you are out of ideas for Mothers Day this year! read more
