It's also amazing what a trip through memory lane can do to an adult; I came out with some stink bombs, fake dog turd and a fart cushion. (I was meant to be getting something for our youngest's birthday). Pocket money day is Bagatelle day in our household. If she's been saving up, then there is plenty to suit. If she's feeling like blowing one weeks money, then there's even more to choose from. Hugely friendly staff and very competitive prices. Do yourself a favour and drag your kids out of the computer games shop and into memory lane.

I am sorry to leave this review. We have been customers of Asquiths for a a number of years. We…read morepurchased a very lovely dog teddy for my now 7 year old's first birthday and in more recent years she has started collecting Mice, of which we have many and furniture too. There are 2 members of staff at asquiths as far as I am aware and I will start by saying one of them is absolutely lovely, friendly and helpful. However, on my most recent visit a few weeks ago, my 7 year old ran out of the shop in tears and we will never set foot in asquiths again. We came in to purchase a mouse. My daughter, unknowingly picked up a £200 bear. Something the lady won't have known is that my daughter is the most cautious child going. She is terrified of being in trouble and hates attention on her. That bear would have been very safe in her hands. The lady said "that is a very valuable bear please put it down" or something to that effect. I turned to see she was talking to my daughter. I then called my daughters name to get her attention, before I had an answer, the shop lady began calling my daughter over and over by name to tell her to put it down. To which my daughter thought she was in trouble and began to get upset. Whilst I was talking to her to calm her down I realised the lady was now taking mice out of my 2.5 year olds hands. (Now appreciate her being a little more wary of the toddler but it is a teddy bear shop and we have over 15 mice at home that have never been damaged.) The lady then turned back to my daughter and declared that the bear is £200. My 7 year old like most others will not have any idea what £200 is worth. She just saw a nice bear. Anyway my eldest got more and more upset and ran out of the store saying "I never want to come here again" My upset is not the fact that we were asked to put the bear down. My upset is that I am her mother and my daughters confidence is far more valuable than any bear. I was handling it just fine and took immediate offence to a stranger shouting my (very well behaved) child by name! I'd like to offer some feedback as I'm quite sure that my daughter is not the only child to pick up the teddy bears, perhaps it would be wise to place the valuable ones higher up. Perhaps in lockable cabinets. Just an idea. Or perhaps a sign that say's "This is not a childrens toy shop" although I think that would have significant impact on your business would it not? Perhaps treat your little customers with a little more respect. They're not all bad mannered or rough handed! I'll end this review by saying, if you're a grown adult with a love for teddy bears and a decent sized bank account (i'm sure there are a few of you out there) this is the place for you!
