Poplar Gifts, located just off the High Street in Kings Heath, is actually more of a jewellery shop than an all purpose gift store. It's a charming local store, very small (almost like one of the crooked buildings you'd expect to in a Harry Potter film) but crammed full of things to make for an excellent selection. On every occasion that I've been in, I've always been served by the same friendly man who I assume is the owner, and he always gives me helpful (and honest) advice on what I'd be best buying after I give him so vague list of criteria that I'm looking to fulfil. I never mention the fact that I'm on a budget, but he always seems to infer that I'm a student, and guides me towards the lower end products, price-wise, which is always reassuring. Speaking of prices, Poplar Gift's are extremely reasonable, with my most recent purchase, a pair of 9ct gold earrings setting me back just £17. Highly recommended. read more
