Bitz sells a lot of greeting cards for very low prices. Then there are low cost children's toys. There are knick knacks, piggy banks, cuddly toys, kites, and I got my daughter's body board here.

There are also a number of bracelets and necklaces made from these stones. I'm not taking my daughter in there! My friend and I love looking around but aren't quite sure what we'd do with anything we bought! Well worth a snoop though, because of the sheer beauty of everything. He does engraving too.

There are not only candles but accessories for candles, or 'houses' for them. i.e you sit the candle (already in a jar) on a saucer like dish, and place the roof on. These are made from crackled glass, in all kinds of colour schemes. It is truly beautiful, all of it. All sorts of sizes too, but I like the small one because you can have more than one in a room. Some of the scents may not be your taste, but you will adore most of them. In addition, the shop sells cushions, mobiles, signs, and other novelty items.
