So you want a bunch of flowers but you need them to be special, to look good and to smell…read morewonderful? Well why not nip down to Eden, it's a reputable floral designer based out in West Kirby and well known for quality and excellence! They've been around a good few years now and can pretty much knock together anything that you want, from wreaths and bouquets to small arrangement s and designs. All this comes with a fairly hefty price tag, but believe me, I've been quoted much more in the past! These guys will deliver your arrangements directly to wherever they need to go as well. Providing it's not too far away from the general Wirral area! So I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who's after a special something for a special someone!

Attention to detail is key at Eden Flora Design in West Kirby. This little florist shop is an…read moreindependent business offering that special, personal touch, and very friendly service. My friend and I popped in here one sunny day while trolling the boutiques in West Kirby, and we both enjoyed a pleasant conversation with the owner, and admired the beautiful flowers. If I lived on the Wirral I'd definitely look into making this shop as my primary florist. Besides general bouquets and arrangements, Eden also does wedding flowers, funeral and sympathy flowers, decorative arrangements for offices, bars, and restaurants, and even some nursery plants for outside your home. Deliveries can be made anywhere in the Wirral region, and orders placed before 1:00 will be delivered the same day, or orders placed before 11:00 a.m. on Saturdays.

If you love shabby chic décor, country cottage style, and just plain, old fashioned cute, then you…read moreneed to have a nosey around Lifestyle Outlet in West Kirby. They sell everything from candles and cards to home décor and furniture, and the variety they offer is enough to keep you happily poking around for a while. I loved the shabby chic furniture, like the wood hutches and side boards, and the cute animal decorations like the colourful cat mobile I spotted, and some plush chickens that would look really great in a farm themed kitchen, or on a window sill. The prices are very reasonable, and if I weren't so hard up myself, I could easily have come home with five or six little decorative items and not spent more than £40. My friend found some really great prints of photos and paintings and wound up buying one to add some color to her living room. The prices were really reasonable for the size of artwork, and there were some pretty quirky choices if your style of art tends toward fun, conversation pieces. I'll definitely be having another poke around next time I'm over that way.

A well-stocked party goods and novelties store, with exceptionally friendly, helpful (and patient)…read morestaff. Wide range of tasteful greetings cards, tags, calendars, balloons, wrapping paper, cuddly teddy bears, and so on, to cover all the bases when planning for a party - or any other celebration. Prices seem reasonable enough, and the variety of stock on display makes it worth making the trip here as a 'one-stop' option (to coordinate your purchases) rather than to, say, a supermarket. Talking of which, parking being the only tricky part (places are at a premium on Banks Rd, where double-yellow lines abound) its maybe easier to park at 'Morrisons' supermarket near the marina, and walk back.

Here you'll find everything from original paints and hand carved sculptures to baby gifts and shabby chic and country kitchen style home décor. Some of the items I saw for sale: shell necklaces, original art and signed prints of paintings, knitwear, earrings, handbags, stuffed owl decorations, tea pots, and cute mugs. This is definitely a great place to visit if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind gift for a special lady in your life, whatever her age. It's another one of those places I could have poked around in for an hour if I'd had the time. If you love artsy stuff, you'll leave wishing this shop was your living room.

There are also a few items that are less than a pound like padded envelopes. One thing that I noticed that stood out about this pound shop is that they have a fairly wide range of cake decorating and other baking/cooking making items like cookie cutters, cake and sweet papers, frosting tubes, etc. They were more than one pound but they were a lot less than Lakeland, and they seemed to be the same products.
