There are tat shops all over Brighton, but Giftzstore is something entirely worse: a shop for tasteless gifts, cheap stocking-fillers and nothing more. If you're a fan of extremely cheap tat, and need a gift for a friend whom you know nothing about, this is the best place to go.
I normally find these kind of gifts can be found just before the check-out in supermarkets, or in pound-shops or similar: cheap, rubbish bits and pieces that wouldn't go out of place being found inside a Kinder Surprise, if the eggs were bigger. It is particularly disappointing to see this sort of shop in somewhere as vibrant and original as the Lanes as well: I can't imagine who would willing shop here.
Also, who are the gifts for? Does anyone ask for a bear in a rude pose as a gift? Or a duck in bondage gear? These aren't gifts, these are stocking fillers, last minute presents bought by people who have no idea who they're buying a gift for. To have a whole shop based around stocking fillers seems more than a little excessive.
Don't shop here, not unless you're shopping for someone you don't know. There are so many better choices, all over Brighton... don't be drawn in by the crass window display. Shop elsewhere. read more
