I admit that when I'm in tramp casual attire I do look a bit like a raging homicidal maniac or, at…read morethe very least, a pickpocket with social anxiety issues. However, I do not appreciate getting stereotyped immediately when I enter a store as a perfectly lawful possible patron. When I walked into Unikob I got sharp glares and stares that would have outdone the slicing capabilities of any of the shredders the store had in stock. Before I took two steps toward the Post-it section I was stopped and asked 'Can I help you?' by both the store manager and the cashier. Believe me, this was not a customer service induced question; they obviously thought I was bad news. I told them that I was looking for Post-its and when they heard my American accent their faces were visibly relieved. When I was finally taken off of the Stationary Stealers Wanted Roster I got a chance to peruse the store. They have everything you need for your office or for your studies at reasonably cheap prices. I paid £1.30 for a packet of Post-its and I'm quite happy with my purchase. They were quite happy with my purchase too and as I exited the store they were all smiles. So if you're not up for travelling to the nearest Ryman's and you live in the area, this is a good place to go for your clerical needs...unless you're wearing a hoodie.

Greetings is not a generic card shop. The whole store carries a multitude of greeting cards that…read morecover every occasion and every personality type. Some of their cards are not politically correct and others are extremely formal. They also carry wrapping paper, bags and even alarm clocks in the back, so if you're hunting for a gift and a card you may only have to go to one place. No card in this place would cost more than £4. You're in for a bargain and you're guaranteed to find what you're looking for.

You will get all that you need for cards and gifts, the shop is well organised and staff are helpful.

The whole Oliver Bonas thing confuses me slightly. When I first saw the shop many years ago, I…read moreassumed it was a one off and I liked it, now they seem to be popping up all over the place. They do sell some nice things, but I feel that the vast quantity of shops they are opening, down grades them slightly. That may just be me being picky, but part of their initial charm was that it felt special and unique, now I cannot help but feel it is just over produced. Saying that, I still wander in on occasions but rarely am I moved to make a purchase.

Actually told me to F**k off when I returned to collect original artwork that a member of staff had forgotten to wrap up with copies made and left on copier. Very over priced products on offer, taking full advantage of the students in the nearby university facilities. Not very competent staff , very easily 'challenged' with simple requests. Would suggest giving both the outlets a wide berth.

Yes, yes it's another of those Oliver Bonas (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/74356-Oliver-Bonas-London/) -alikes that sell little striped teapots, Cath Kidston-esque aprons and tiny little books called things like "101 ways to be green and smug" for £20. However, Ed kind of does it a bit better than many. They carry some cute and some stylish lines of chinaware, fun stationery, plenty of gift ideas and - personal fave - a well edited selection of clothing. Once you get past the hefty quota of French Connection you find Lee Jeans (underrated, fit me well) and plenty of other cute brands. Much more fun than hitting the high street. Pop in on a Saturday and combine with brunch at Blue Mountain (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/158088-Blue-Mountain-London) and a wander round the North Cross Road market - pure middle class fun.
