I have purchased a few scarves and bags for various fancy dress outfits that I have worn to parties. The staff are quite friendly inside and have been helpful when I have been looking for something in particular. The store is in a bit of a jumble and I have found it hard to locate items on some occasions, however I always eventually find what I need. They also keep quite a lot of stock in boxes outside the front of the store, so I have often spent time rooting around trying to find stuff. I do not like this aspect of the store; I would prefer it all to be easy to find and well organised. It is a great store, but it is a bit disorganised.

If you are in need of some cheap tat as a present, for a project or require something for a fancy dress outfit then you will no doubt find it here. Who needs expensive fancy dress shops or paying for shipping off a website when you can buy inflatable props from here? Love it, a great little shop full of things to mooch in and to spend money on stuff you either didn't know you needed or had forgotten you needed as you never spot it in the supermarket.

A family run business which opened in 2007, this is a posh hat shop based on Islington Row…read more I used to live in the flats above this shop and was always a bit curious about it but never dared to go in - some people can wear hats and sadly I'm not one of them. However I was recently invited to a wedding and now that fascinators are 'de rigour' thought this was perhaps my chance to have a mooch. The fact they had a 20% off sign in the window was all the extra encouragement I needed. I have to say they have some really lovely stuff - I was particularly taken with a black and white polka dot number but sadly - even with the discount this was way out of my price range. Staff seemed nice and the stock seemed well made. Intrigued I also had a quick look on their website when I got home - more lovely things awaited including some rather fab gents hats (trilby's mostly) and a 'made to order' range.

Yet again they refuse to refund so I am without a watch and there customer service ignores emails. Seriously, for a purchase I would only go to a proper mainstream dealer. I have now got to go through trading standards which is long winded.

It's virtually impossible to buy hair removal wax tubs from the High Street stores but I found it here for just £5! And they have a choice between lavender, aloe vera and pink wax. I also found that St Ives face scrub (which is the guru of my skincare regime!) is a lot cheaper here than elsewhere. They have a random selection of cheap cosmetics that tend to be in retro shades - Pat Butcher from Eastenders comes to mind! Although some of their eye-shadows and nail varnishes are interesting because bright colours are trending. Oddly enough, towards the back of the shop there is a post office so you can get your postal needs as well as grooming products under one roof!

They have a gorgeous array of handmade jewellery to entice you part with your money but with prices from just £3, it's hard to resist. Every colour is represented so you are sure to find something to go with every outfit. If you're into something more practical, they also offer stunning beaded square faced watches and new designs are coming along all the time. For a more classic look there are pearl bracelets and chokers and all manner of bracelets and ear-rings. Fantastic for a little cheer- up present for you or others and it won't break the bank.

The stock is fairly traditional, though I did notice some really pretty dangly earrings with giant rhinestones set in fancy gold surrounds. They also sell some ornaments and little trinkets. The prices are fairly low, though the goods on offer aren't exactly priceless jewels. It would be a good place to pick up a special present for an aunt or Grandma.

If you are a bit younger, more goth and teenage then this is the shop you are most likely to be spotted in. I am however a little sad that they don't have the range and diversity of jewellery making wares like they used to, i completely understand how bags and purses have a higher price point for making money and staying around for as long as they have. If you get passed some of the more teenage, rock wares and don't get intimidated by it's youthfulness then you will undoubtedly find a bit of treasure here.

To be honest, I have no idea about how to start reviewing this shop because there are so many good…read morethings to highlight on it. Beadesaurus is unique because they have a range of t-shirts, bags and accessories that are not found easily in other shops in Birmingham. They certainly attract a diverse kind of public. While their collection of Hello Kitty bags and accessories seems to be made for teens, their bandannas, gloves and some dresses can be the option to rockabilly fans. Beadesaurus is the kind of shop for people who look for the different without shocking. I like their baby accessories and some of their tote bags are really stylish. There are two options of Beadesaurus to visit. This one at Oasis Store has some options of bags on sales that are impossible to miss. I particularly prefer the other shop at Piccadilly Arcade because the decor is more attractive and their variety of jewellery is something to highlight as well.
