The gift toiletries are beautifully packaged, including Isle of Arran's After the Rain range, which I absolutely love. There's Emma Bridgwater crockery (the chunkiness of which I absolutely adore, and which indicates that I am in the type of shop I like, although I've never found an exact design that I would want to buy). There are suitable gifts for the 'older' and sometimes more difficult generation. The shelf of handkerchiefs was prettily arranged; do people still buy these? Birthday and occasion cards are high quality and classy designs, including 3-D cards. The staff smiled and said thank you as we left the shop, which is something to remark upon in this day and age

I like this branch of Debenhams, particularly the basement fashion floor…read more I usually shop here after Christmas when I have vouchers to spend and enjoy shopping for clothes and looking around the branches of Oasis, Warehouse, Dorothy Perkins, Jane Norman and Red Herring in this store. There are usually bargains to be found. It has a reasonable restaurant on the top floor which does cheap meals and has a view over the park behing the store.

This is a great department store and has everything you need such as clothes, perfume, cosmetics,…read moreunderwear and household goods. My favourite section is on the lower ground floor and it is where they have the younger style female clothes with shops like Oasis, Dorothy Perkins and Warehouse, they have great sales on in here and it is well worth coming in for a rummage. This is also where I had my wedding list when I got married. They provide a great wedding list service where they send you off around the shop and you can scan everything you want for wedding presents then people register on-line for gifts and Debenhams send it all to you at the end, it couldn't be easier and was great fun!

Abbey China is a small shop at the top of Cheap Street. In addition to china, the shop carries…read morejewelry and some evening type beaded handbags and beautiful belts. This shop always has so much affordable costume jewelry, that I can't walk by without going in. They carry items from the Butler Wilson line and offer great sales several times a year. The staff is wonderful about ordering items from London and will even phone and speak to the designer while you're there, to make sure that you're happy with the request. This is the place I go when I need a gift for a teenage girl or woman.

I placed an order with Bed Linen Direct for one Coolmax pillow & 2 Coolmax pillow cases, the order…read moretotal was £79.20 with delivery within 3 working days. After 7 days, my order hadn't arrived, so I contacted Bed Linen Direct. They replied, "Thank you for your email. The items you chose are Made To Order and therefore take a little longer. Normally, around 7 to 10 days. Have a great day" Why state that it takes 3 working days?. Bed Linen Direct are deliberately misleading customers, customers who have trusted Bed Linen Direct with their custom. Having also ordered Coolmax products before, I have never had to wait for them "to be made to order"; it's more likely that Bed Linen Direct did not have the advertised "in stock" items in stock, which again is deliberately misleading. The ordered items were for a caravan holiday in Spain, as we are travelling tomorrow, I have had to go out shopping to buy more Coolmax bedding, as I can't risk the ordered items not arriving in time. I can assure Bed Linen Direct that in future I will be taking my custom elsewhere. Dreadful service.

I spent £100 on a mattress cover from this company. I washed it before I put on the bed, following…read morethe washing instruction on the label. I washed at 30 degrees on a 38 minute cycle and dried on a 'store dry' cycle in a 10kg capacity condensing tumble drier which has a moisture sensor so things do not get too hot or over-dried. However, the cover shrank and went a bit lumpy. I sent it back, but the company refused to refund my money and blamed me for washing it incorrectly (which is definitely not the case). I do not think the item was fit for purpose or washable as labelled. I would advice everyone not to buy anything from this company!
