They sell mainly small items with a beach theme, many of which make perfect gifts; beach towels, canvas scrolls with inspirational quotes, jewellery. They have a range of candles which are particularly scrumptious smelling. I really love the way this shop is set out. The products are arranged nicely and it isn't bursting to overflowing so I don't have to walk around acutely aware of whether my overly large handbag is trying to break things. It's a very relaxed, soothing vibe and a lovely place to shop.

This is a great home wares store; despite its rather small size they offer an impressive range of…read moreitems for around the house. The brightly lit shop is made brighter by the array of colourful items piled throughout. What makes their products even better is that they are sourced from Australian designers. The store is set out according to themes, which I think is a great idea. It allows you to visualise how items fit together as well as how they will looks side by side in your home.

My favourite thing they stocked were the water bottles, which may sound strange, if you don't know me. I carry a water bottle with me everywhere, something which has led to a great deal of lighthearted teasing on the part of my friends. Belle Pot had a display of a few different brands out the front, so I amused myself for a while deciding whether it was time for a new faithful friend. This is the perfect place to go if you're in the market to revamp your kitchen.

The man who runs the store is always keen to help; I like to have a bit more of a browse before I commit, but like all tiny stores, we're very aware of each other's presence as soon as I go near the place. I've bought stable trays, tea cups, a knife, and some pretty glasses. No doubt I'll go back for more.
