She even had the box of chocolates gift wrapped as well. When I called, it was almost 1pm over there and the shop closes at 2pm on Wednesdays. They were unable to deliver that day, but reached out to me via email to let me know that they would try again first thing the next day. Amanda was excellent in communicating with me every step of the way. She even sent me a picture of the delivered flower arrangement and gift-wrapped chocolates. The pricing was very reasonable too and my Mum was so happy with her beautiful flowers! Definitely recommend!

Gorgeous little shop that I actually found by accident whilst looking for somewhere to shelter from…read morethe rain! I quite easily whiled away half an hour just looking at all the beautifully unusual jewellery they have - think tanzanite and moonstone rather than more run of the mill stuff. There's also lots of pretty knick knacks that would make great gifts, like mosaic candle holders and little crafty hanging decorations. If I'd started buying things for myself I'm not sure where I would've stopped so I had to be strict, and just picked up a gift for a friend. This was a cute little trunk-shaped trinket box patterned with maps (which I definitely have a fetish for) and for £5 was a bargain. As if that wasn't enough, a nice little chat with the friendly guy at the counter made sure I left with a smile on my face too :)

However after paying, one of us checked the receipt and the full Visa card number and expiry date were printed on the receipt!

I love this shop!…read more It's full of weird, random and quirky bits and bobs, and it is usually my first port of call when I am looking to buy a gift or present for someone. If you're a cat lover you are in for a treat, as there are plenty of cat related items in the shop, from lamps, to nail stickers and mugs! I spend a good ten minutes laughing out loud at a book of pigeons that was in there (who knew some pigeons could look so bizarre!? I probably should have bought the book; I'm laughing to myself about the pigeons now). There really is so much stuff in there, that you would have to spend an age in there to see everything. There are bits and pieces crammed into every corner of the store! My only qualm is that because everything is piled everywhere, there is not a lot of room to move! If there are more than 3 people in the shop or you are carrying a few shopping bags, you aren't going to last long in there.
