Once I had gotten over the massive shock of Woolworths closing down I had to find another shop that…read morecould offer the same variety of household goods, food and drink, entertainment (and of course Pick & Mix selection!) Wilkinsons is the logical replacement, in reality, although I hate to admit it, they are probabley better than Woolworths. I come here for many household items, from picture frames to lightbulbs, and from tea-towls to frying pans, they have a very good all around selection at very good prices. The top floor is dedicated to entertainment, cards, pick and mix and childrens items. The downstairs is for household items.

I'm not ashamed to say that I shop here a LOT! Whether it be for loo roll or a new shelving unit…read morefor my room, Wilkinson's have it in this shop for an insanely good price. What I like about it too is that it doesn't just sell its cheaper own brands if you feel like a bit of luxury. They sell all the usual 'Fairy Liquids' and 'Flash' products at a much cheaper price than a supermarket. Very good location in the centre of Bristol and it's a really large store which divided into two floors. The upper floor is for everyday household products and the lower is a larger section for kitchen, bathroom and bedroom goods. I have recently bought a lovely set of curtains for £7.99 which easily look like they are worth £30...bargin! Usually long queues of upwards of 10minutes though.

I cam in here a few weeks ago with a friend of mine who was on the lok out for some new trousers for work as well as a pair of Waterproof trousers for him to wear on his bicycyle, he reasoned that because summer was coming he was more than sure he'd get wet on the cycle to work every day!

Uttam London reminds me of a market stall on Portebello Road or St Nicholas Market. Filled with…read morecute dresses, trendy accessories and funky girlie fashions it's a great place to unleash the hippy inside you. The prices are quite high for what are ultimately disposable fashions (up to £40 for a dress) but the shop itself is so welcoming and fun - even window shopping is a joy here. You'll find this store in the Corridor in Bath's city centre. This tiny shop is packed to the brim with clothes, bags, belts and accessories so it can be difficult to navigate around. Clumsy people - you have been warned!

Bakos Boutique is a lovely shop in Westbury on Trym, north of Bristol. They don't sell wedding…read moredresses but they do offer occasion wear for Mothers of the Bride and Bridegroom which is quite a nice touch. You can rent a hat rather than buy one, which is quite a good idea really seen as the likelihood of ever wearing it again would be slim! For me, this section is a little old fashioned but they do also offer more modern ball gowns, prom dresses and such like from a number of different labels. They have their new spring/summer collection now available so if you have a fancy occasion coming up drop in!

An odd shop. Half of the place is set aside for key cutting and shoe repair, with accessories and…read moresome footwear for sale. The other half sells second hand goods that one would find in a charity shop (books, games, records, bric-a-brac, etc.). And mixed in are a few new items like bulk packs of toilet paper! They do a decent job of key cutting and shoe repair, but you may be a bit confused when you see the window display and enter the shop.

Named after the song in one of the most wonderful yet tragic motion pictures of our time (with just…read morea hint of sarcasm there), Hakuna Matata is Easton's head-shop - your one stop for all that is associated with smoking dope, getting high and the Rastafarian community. In this shop you can find all the expected grinders, papers, lighters, stash boxes and magazines affiliated with marijuana that you would expect, plus a few extras you may not have thought of. They have a very broad and wonderful smelling incense and scent collection for starters, and a good collection of Indian-based art postcards. More gems that I found (excusing the pun) were some healing crystals and the guide books to go with them. This isn't just a collection of getting high tat, but rather a well thought out stock of gifts and treats based around a more relaxed and easy going way of life.
