Clinton has been on King Street a few years now. It is one of the more upmarket (sorry, can't think…read moreof a more fitting word!) card shops in the town by that, I mean they sell a wider range of branded cards, Hallmark being one I can think of. In the past I have found that although their cards are probably the nicest of all the shops, they are also the most expensive. However, I did find that around xmas time this year when I went in, their xmas cards were noticeably cheaper than they have ever been so perhaps they are beginning to react to the customer's needs and are reducing their prices to be more competitive??? If I am buying a card for a very special occassion (for example a 40th birthday card or christening card) then I would always go to Clintons, however, being a stingy mare I would tend to go to one of the cheaper shops if all I needed was a bog standard birthday card for a friend or a cheap giftbag as I think Clintons are a bit overpriced for everyday things. The inside of the store cannot be faulted though - it is very tidy and spacious, so you're not shoulder-to-shoulder with other people. You actually have room to breathe which is a novelty unlike in some of the other cardshops in the town!

I was home alone one week and I thought I would try getting my fruit, veg & eggs delivered (from C…read more& M Greengrocers). I rang them up, made an order & arranged a delivery time and that was it. First of all the fruit and veg were huge, much bigger and fresher than the supermarket. Everything was delivered on-time and they had even went down to the market that morning and picked up the specific type of mushrooms I had enquired about (which they didn't sell). It is the little things like that which really makes the difference, I can't recommend Marc highly enough. We use them regularly now, it saves me and my girlfriend 20 minutes a week (shopping) and also because we live fairly local, we get free delivery too.

The shop offers a wide range of items from healing crystals to dream catchers etc to a range of gothic type items. There is also a spiritualist reader that comes to the shop that you can visit for readings, always a bit sceptical myself but great for anyone that believes in this.
