There is a big car park but it doea get very busy, particularly in the run up to Christmas, and you may find yourself queuing to get in. It's not easy to get to by public transport. The store itself has a huge range of toys, but it is quite crowded and can be difficult to find what you're looking for if you go in for something specific. And it can be worth checking prices elsewhere as, although they do have some good deals, some of the prices seem expensive compared to other places. However, it is a good place for browsing for ideas and to see what's new in the world of toys and games.

This is a large store and larger items such as play houses and bikes can be viewed in store before buying which is an advantage. The prices can be overly inflated at times, that said they often have very good promotions running too so you need to take note on the prices of any items you are buying. The tills do seem to be very busy, but the staff have always been polite and served me efficiently.

It has been knocked through to the next building so be careful of the step down otherwise you'll be over!!

It has a great, really varied selection of cards (including lots of cards for special events, anniversaries etc). It also has a good selection of gifts (by people such as Emma Bridgewater and East of India) CDs and wrapping paper,. The prices are reasonable too, in comparison with London prices.

An amazing range of differnt sized and scented candles, and for a fairly reasonable price. The staff there are awesome, and know what they are on about too. However they are not pushy and are very helpful. I usually fail to come away from this place with nothing! Great range, well priced and good staff. What more could you want from a candle shop? :D

Only Yankee Candle outlet in Southampton…read more Yankee Candle is an American company which specializes is candles. What is different about these candles is that unlike other fragranced candles the fragrance is all the way through the candle not just in the top layer meaning you get the small smell all the way through. The candles are not cheap however they are the nicest smelling candles I have ever smelt. The range is huge and is slit into categories Fresh and Fruit Floral and World Food and Spice and Festives. Smells include Baby Powder, Vanilla Cupcake, Egg Nog, Vanilla Lime, Country Linen, Cherry Lemonade and Granny Smith to name a few. Baby Powder is one of my favorites; it has that lovely baby smell. They also do candle parties which you can book through their website, when they will come to your house with the range. They also do car airfreshners, reeds and a variety of other 'smelly' items! Worth going in even if just to smell all the lovely candles.

This is quite a big card shop. They sell some really nice cards and they have a great range but…read morethey do tend to be very expensive. It is easy to find what you are looking for in the shop with the cards being arranged by the occasion they are for. As well as cards they sell balloons, teddies, badges, confetti, candles and other small gifts. The staff seem friendly and I am sure they will help if you can't find what you are looking for. So overall I think this shop is convenient but not the cheapest and I would rather go to another card shop further up the road.

I like next, some of their clothing is really good quality, plenty of items in stock this summer just gone, and no matter which store you go to in any city, it's always consistent really, offering the same throughout. This store is nice and large and offers all womens and mens range as well as little ones. Only thing i dont like, is the annoying catalogue person on the door asking you to join up and pay for a catalogue each time i go it, bin it next, and move on to the NEXT one!

The designs, cut and colours of the clothes are always unique but accessible, so you feel like you're wearing something high-fashion in that it's different from other stores, but without such a ridiculous price tag. The shoes and accessories aren't bad either, but the absolute best thing to go shopping there for are the underwear and socks - they often have really cute designs on them (pandas, cartoon policemen etc) and always have offers if you buy in bulk (3 for £7 etc). The staff are aways really helpful - my Dad said he had printed off a 30-page (heh heh) wishlist of clothes from their website that I wanted for Christmas, and one of the sales assistants gladly took him round the shop and helped him find whatever they had in stock - and this was on Christmas Eve!
