Loved this quirky little store that we stopped by during a shopping trip recently. It's like a…read morelittle IKEA (slightly more out there like with the toilet golf gift, haha) with very awesome prices and a neat set-up. I loved looking at everything, it was very tough not to walk out of there with like 100 items. I ended up buying a cute shower curtain and a little pepper mill shaped like a lady for about £14. The girls working there were very helpful & patient when I tried to use my US debit card (no pin & chip sadly) and they had to get my proper signature on a receipt, look at my US driver license to compare the signature, and then put that in the cash drawer. They were so nice and even said it was a learning experience for everyone! Haha. Love Tiger!!

A lovely vintage card and trinket boutique attached to a vintage furniture space. I love popping…read moreinto this shop after having my hair down or grabbing a coffee nearby. The greeting card selection is fab, and several of them had me laughing out loud in the shop! Quality scented candles, home items and unique jewellery are also part of this shops great finds. My favourite is their picture frame wall, which also boasts printed quotes that you can frame yourself and give as a thoughtful and unique gift.

Being really cheesy (or in a very silly mood) I could start by saying I don't know how much dear…read moreBill has to do with this chain but enough silliness (I thought he spent more time writing books, these days, or on the lecture circuit.) Seriously, now, I'm not the greatest fan of high street chain stores, when seeking-out stationery or greeting cards. Normally I prefer something quirkier with a little more individuality. Last week, however, I had cause to be looking for some cards at short notice (for a sad occasion) so I had to find something bland and inoffensive, yet not totally boring. This branch was convenient, so I wandered in and after just a few minutes looking-around, I found a good selection of attractive cards that fitted the bill (no further pun intended). As I needed several items, the price was even more of a pleasant surprise (as they incurred a 'bulk' discount); I won't write this chain off next time I need to stock up on occasion cards.

A basic foil balloon is £2.99 but they do larger ones as well as balloon arrangements for parties and weddings. You can even choose your balloon in advance and they will pop it in the diary and it will be ready on the day and time you choose. Fantastic service.

I am guessing that kids need a lot of attention and tasks that keep them busy? Just a hunch. They…read morealways seem to be telling their mums that they are bored, so I guess keeping them occupied is one of those never ending tasks. If I had a child, The Pottery and Craft Studio in Thames Ditton would probably be my second home. I popped in the other day and it was filled with children, all completely engrossed in what they were doing. The premise is that you choose an item of pottery that you want to use, such as a mug, jug, teapot or plate and then set to work with your paints! Kids seem to love this kind of thing. Having said that, there is no reason why kids should have all the fun, they can do classes for grown ups here too, and can make plates and souvenirs for things like Weddings, Birthday parties etc. I liked the Hands and Feet option - where you come in with prints of your babies feet (which can also be done here), and they put the print into a frame, or onto something ceramic. So cute!
