Definitely a place to pop into from time to time.

Woodlander is pricey, but it specialises in novelties and little presents. Located on the posher…read moreend of Ashby's shops - which includes a couple of clothing boutiques, a flower shop and a deli - it stocks a lot of Cath Kidston, Radley and Alessi, with large sections for homeware like photo albums, scented candles and kitchen utensils. They keep some natural-style cosmetics and bath products around - a lot of Crabtree and Evelyn, Burt's Bees and some kind of Lush knockoff with tiny bath bombs. Overall their stock is aimed for the average middle-aged, middle-class Ashbeian, and it all tesselates into one 'Woodlander' collection rather than many different brands and styles. I can imagine a Woodlander Christmas, or a family building their home with Woodlander pieces - there's just enough variation to please different crowds and still fit a loose aesthetic. Atmosphere-wise, it's just OK. It looks nice, it's quiet and staff generally leave you alone. However, I find myself patronised or just treated oddly by staff every time I buy anything or ask questions - I'm a sixth former and I don't come from a wealthy background, so I'm not really their target market, but I'd like to be able to shop normally. I've sometimes found myself being watched, as though I'm going to steal or break something - not the kind of service I like! I rarely visit, even rarer buy things - it's difficult to find anything that costs less than £10 or so, and I'd rather go somewhere more welcoming - but I've bought a quirky coaster, gift tins of glow in the dark stars and Jelly Belly candles here for Christmas presents, and all were really well-received. I'd come here again if I needed a present in a pinch, or if I just wanted some inspiration.

It has wide variety of bags including Radley and Kipling, which my wife finds endlessly fascinating. The cookware section although small contains a wide variety of kitchen gadgets, some of which you never knew you needed! The giftware section is brilliant for birthdays, weddings and christenings, or a gift for the person that literally seems to have everything! The staff are friendly and helpful, and have a good knowledge of their stock. Woodlander may not be the cheapest, but if you are looking for a quality present, it is difficult to beat.

This store is one of the best vintage clothing stores around and it seems quite popular with a particular scene. I really enjoy visiting for fashion inspiration mostly.

The staff are not generally chatty but seem friendly to talk to if you purchase something. I found something i had been looking for, for a while quite recently and i was very surprised they had it.

I then wrote another email asking them to ignore my last email, I still wanted the order. They still cancelled it. They said they didn't get my other email. No apology, I was always the one apologising. I said sorry for the confusion but I still wanted the order. The manner of the person I spoke with was extremely rude and unhelpful the entire conversation. They then accused me of wasting their time and money and refused to send me the dress or talk to me anymore. I have just got off the phone to a suicide line as dealing with this store was the last straw for me. They don't deserve a sale.
