Cath Kidston is a luxury brand name that sells anything from bags, clothes and accessories…read morededicated to the young female gender. The small shop is located in Liverpool ONE and not in the most obvious of places; it is not noticed easily, being on a side street that is not often busy. One day I did come across it by accident and so popped in to have a look at their wonderful range of colourful items. One thing that struck me was its flowery decorations echoed throughout some of their popular bags and fabrics. It was then I realised that yes, this is definitely a shop for girls who like to look pretty! Bet I looked odd being the only male in the shop but I did get a warm welcome by one of the female assistants. Cath Kidston certainly has a summer feel about it, offering a selection of kids clothing such as tops, blouses and swimwear. Everywhere I looked had something in common - matching colours and patterns on most designs. This shop is somewhere to go if you're a young female into the latest fashion, and have more than a little to spend on essential items to add to your image and collection of trendy gear.

Cath Kidston's brand is an immediately recognisable one. Florals and tiny prints ringing any bells?…read more Well, this Liverpool store dedicated entirely to it is slightly suffocating. Flowers Everywhere. It's not cheap either, but it's quality. They have everything for the home; teapots, pots and pans, aprons, whisks...all bearing the logo. It reminds me of some sort of 1950s propaganda for women looking pretty whilst cooking in the home. They have their patterns available on rolls of fabric at the back if you fancy making curtains, table cloths or dresses if you are so inclined! (Depends how Maria Von Trapp you are really.) Also, there is an assortment of children's clothing and bedding which is really cutesy and some overnight bags for travelling in style. In short. If you like pretty, you will like this shop. But it's visually and price-wise a little too overbearing for me.

Baby Business is another local store that needs supporting in the face of all the huge department…read morestores that appear to be standing their ground as the UK faces the worst recession in history. This shops been around for years and they are a specialist baby shop selling everything from prams and cots, to baby grows, bibs and toys. They are friendly and obliging inside and they can offer plenty of tips to new parents as they've been dealing with them for years. We all know how quick babies grow, so why not drop your old baby clothes at the Roy Castle charity shop around the corner as you drop go to Baby Business to buy more! They are right next door to the army and navy store, so pops can go fantasise over the latest survival book and camo tent, while mum spends all his cash on the latest high tech pram!

I was given brilliant advice when making my pram purchase when I was expecting, and ended up with the perfect pram for my needs.

I'd definitely think of Baby Business first for all of my baby purchases.

Naughty to misspell words. Sigh…read more Now that I've gotten that off my chest (yet again!), this shop is not too shabby for a small florist in a small town.

All businesses should be high class and professional, so if you feel the need to actually tell people outright that you are to me indicates that you are not.
