There were cute, miniature books, stuffed animals, magnets, movies, and more. We got a Peter Rabbit book for a little cousin and wanted to get a stuffed animal for our friend's who are having a baby. This sweet shop made a great end to our Beatrix Potter tour and was a place I'll definitely want to return to in the future when I have more cute kids to buy for!

A lovely little surprise of a place in the heart of Ambleside. It makes a welcome change from shop…read moreafter shop of walking gear, Beatrix Potter souvenirs and other tourist shops. There are 2 floors full to the gunnels of all kinds of products from great British designers as well as some other cool Europeans ones too. All modern, funky little unique designs from the Sedburgh Soap company Bud Duck, the Big Tomato Company, Suck Uk who produce the most adorable Salt and Pepper Bots and quirky stationary products from Takkoda, to name just a few. Some of my favourite finds in the store were the cookie stamps, adorable magnets in the shape of sparrows and Babbushkups, a trio of Russian Doll inspired glasses.

I love this store... mostly because they have such an assortment of items that I can find something…read morefor everyone I am shopping for... and myself of course. I particularly love the journals/books. Last time I purchased a Listography journal, this time I purchased a journal that gives you hundreds of topics to write about. Not just any kind of topic, but things like: Write a love letter to a person you dislike, What would you buy from the SkyMall catalogue and why?, or write a ransom note. More stuff to keep me from actually being productive! I also purchased a humorous Mother's Day card (my mom is American, but I feel the need to send her a card on British Mothering Day as well... lucky she is, two Mother's Days in one year) and a coffee mug for myself that says 'BLIMEY' and on the back it explains that it is an exclamation of surprise. Better than any tacky tourist souvenir shop. Of course there were a lot of things that I did not purchase, otherwise I would not have been able to have a very luxurious lunch... and dinner, but it is hard to narrow it all down. For example, the 'Poo Log' and the 'What My Poo Tells Me" books would be fantastic purchases for people like my brother, but completely unnecessary. If you are looking for others, souvenirs, or just something for yourself... bypass everything else and stop here!

I think there's nothing different here than you'd find anywhere in the Lakes but like everywhere shop around as prices for the same goods vary. I did'nt find the staff particularly friendly just looked bored.

The clothes are what I'd describe as 'hippy style' with vivid, rich fabrics and wild colour schemes. Very bohemian and beautiful, if you like that kind of thing. They sell a range of Prana gear which is a bit more subdued in style and seems to be very nicely cut but it is rather expensive. The knitwear is marvellous - crazy colours and styles but it also looks substantial enough to actually keep you warm. Other highlights include fabulous rag rugs and bedspreads with ethnic prints, fun toys and useful things like baskets and funky shopping bags that fold away to nothing.
