Colourful Kensington Gardens stalwart selling a wide range of skateboards, juggling balls, devil sticks, skates and kites. I like to stand in here and gaze in every direction - there are so many different hobbies festooned from the walls you find yourself regressing! If you're looking for a skateboard the chap who looks like like an extra from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is your man. He's the owner and very helpful when it comes to choosing your first skateboard or rediscovering your old skate feet. I'm going to buy my son a skateboard and can't think of a better shop to start him off.

Yay. I like juggling and what a grand juggling shop this is. Its nice to have a shop around where the stuff actually has a practical use (kind of), as all this stuff from skate wear, to juggling clubs (of every shape, size and colour) to Frisbees is both good fun and good exercise. You just have to put up with a few months of shameless dropping things and being bruised, and then (if you don't mind the occassional jipe from a Brighton flâneur) your away; circus star and balancer extraordinaire of all things wobbly and wheely.

sixtyseven is a sweet little store who's remote location doesn't help with its somewhat random…read morestock. I can imagine my Mum will grow to love places like this, where you can pop to before or after visiting a tea room, and admire the handsomely put together and displayed gifts. Its one of those places that feels like its selling nothing, where everything in here is expensive versions of normal objects (like the coaster) but with a ribbon on it. While everything looks perfectly lovely, I'm just not one to buy a gift that serves no purpose other than to get put away from fear of being damaged... There are some interesting bits and pieces that may bolster a stocking, and some exquisite cards for those who love to show off or impress through stationary. But its all a bit expensive for what it is...

This is one of those shops that looks lovely from the outside, and is very nice as you walk in,…read morebutI couldn't find anything that I wanted to buy. For a start, their stock is actually fairly limited: a small range of fairly similar greetings cards, a range of art deco postcards, a small range of scented candles, a small range of very upmarket stationery, a small range of posh bath gels - you get the picture. I'm not quite sure who buys writing pads with soft, shiny gold covers? The nearest thing to a theme is that there is a selection of small, attractive, old-fashioned children's toys, with a number of the cards etc also aimed at children. (I was actually looking for a card for my teenage nephew, and there was nothing remotely suitable). It's all very tastefully done, with a feminine edge, and I was greeted very nicely as I entered. I guess it would be perfect for finding a present for that hard-to-please female friend that already has everything she needs.

This independent store sat right next to the Royal Pavilion is a real gem of a shop that has only…read moremanaged to stay in business because it knows what it's real sports people need. The shop looks small from the outside but as it is set over 2 floors it increases the floor space dramatically. The beauty of this shop is that it offers equipment for sports that you can otherwise struggle to find and they can give you a good insight into what equipment will suit you best. The 2 guys that own it I am almost certain are father and son and everytime I go in there they are both there involved in something. The first time I found out about this shop was when my friend took me to get his shirt printed with his name and number which they do brilliantly and can do all the proper lettering for most sports which really helps to make your shirt feel real. If you need something please go here first as this local shop really deserves, and has earned, our loyalty.

There's a good variety of sporting goods on offer at Swift Sports, and if I were the age where I…read morewanted to be getting football boots, this'd be my location of choice. It looks small from outside, but the store is pleasantly put together, and surprisingly deep so that you'll find there's more variety on offer than you may be expecting. The really special thing about this place is T-shirt printing. If you want your name or whatever putting on a jersey, then this place will do it at a damned descent price, at a good speed (if the machines warmed up) and to a fantastic quality. I came here with a friend when he was preparing his best mate in America's 21st birthday gift and have to say, that even as a novice to this kind of affair, I could appreciate why he dragged me through the rain soaked streets of Brighton to get here.
