This store has intruiged me since I was little - I always used to find it unusual that a…read moreScandinavian shop were to entice business in a Scottish town in Inverclyde! Not to mention its 70s shop front - I actually used to think it was an old school charity shop. Over the years it has turned into a high end gift shop full of gorgeous goodies. The gifts inside are of a very cool variety - from cushions with horse silhouettes printed on them to ornate bird themed crockery, this shop is very much in keeping with the current indie trend for organic decoration. There are also some arty greetings card and funky wrapping paper towards the back of the store. The wrapping paper struck me as being very disco; some of it is a shimmery rainbow colour. I hate to coin an overused, misunderstood phrase but I have to say, this shop is very 70s retro in terms of gift choices. There are a lot of brown cushions and burnt orange mugs, but everything is very much en vogue at the mo. There's also an expensive range of jewellery which is absolutely gorgeous for a significant present (or just a lavish treat for yourself). I couldn't see any Scandinavian designer's signitures on the stock but I guess I wasn't entirely sure what I was looking for. The shop assistant was very accomodating, however, so if you have any enquiries about the jewellery manufacture or if you're just looking for a hand, I'm sure she would be happy to help!

It's kind of a card shop, kind of a jewellery shop, so I'd put it in the bracket of gift shop! There are a few delicate, artistic greetings cards on offer, some kitschy stuff for the kitchen, but Hopscotch's strongest area as far as I could see it was their extensive jewellery collection. There were some Rennie Mack sets, Kit Heath and a few other local creations that would make a special someone feel very spoiled indeed. There are also a number of Scottish themed bags and fashion accesories on display if you're looking for a souvenir that is very subtly of a Scottish theme. There're a lot of nice gifts shops in Helensburgh and Hopscotch is one of them if you're on the hunt for something eye catching and sentimental for a loved one.

I really want to give this place a good review as it is a small local business but unfortunately it is not my cup of tea at all. In my opinion, the stock is tacky and overpriced. However, the fact it is still going strong in the centre of Helensburgh shows it is popular with locals.

And since my gran was synonymous with tacky nicknacks and harkbacks to the interwar era, I like this shop. Full of cuddly toys, posh, collectable bears in a Steiff style and various other bits and bobs, it's one to go birthday shopping in. It reminds me of a mini Papyrus (of Glasgow fame) that exists in Helensburgh. They get a lot of the same stock in and is full to burst with fox pendants, owl cushions and anything for the consumer who has a penchant for retro wares. Dinky, cute store with a cool shopkeeper - glad this place is still in business!
