Forget all of the t-shirts and key rings and things... this is my favourite kind of souvenir shop.
I love all things pretty and witty. Snarky and sassy. Colourful and creative. And this place has it all.
How they fit so much personality into one shop, I will never know. Everywhere I turned there was something new to see. Brightly coloured notebooks and stationery covered in funny, interesting or inspirational phrases. Water bottles and mugs bearing positive and uplifting messages. Gorgeous glassware. Cute coffee cups (kitties and swans... SQUEEEEE!). All kinds of accessories for the body (e.g. lip gloss, body wash) and the home (e.g. cat-shaped ring holders, LED makeup lights).There were so many colours, patterns, prints, and textures in this store. So much to see and touch. I ended up buying a cerulean velvet cosmetic bag for my purse because I was so enamored both with the colour and the feel of it.
In what I like to call the "Snark Section" there were all kinds of funny novelty books, including a book of cocktail recipes that have literary-based stories behind them and another entitled, "The Brexit Cookbook." It's nice to see that some folks here are trying their best to find some humour in a bad situation.
Despite being crowded, I was able to check out right away. The cashiers were both very nice and ended my shopping experience on a very high note. read more
