For a florist in the middle of town this place is hard to beat…read more Walk in from the main street passed lots of pots and even huge urns at over 200 quid. The plants and flowers are stored under a massive glass roof which gives it a hothouse effect - it was scorching the last day I was in. There is a large selection of real flowers as well as fake plants. The garden ornaments, wind chimes and decorations are beautiful but quite expensive. Anything you need for your garden, I could almost swear you would find it here. Out the front there is a gift store filled with toys and jewels and candles. At Christmas it is like a little Santa's grotto filled with internal and external ornaments for the home. I love it at Christmas time.

I have to say, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to flower shops. In fact, I rarely wander into…read moreone, namely because they make me sneeze, but also because I've never had to buy flowers for anyone. Sad I know. So, with all this in mind, I have to be honest as to my purpose in visiting Floral Creations... It was the 'Gift Room Upstairs' sign that caught me. I'm a sucker for little gift stores like this, and I just could not resist. So, sniffing in the delightful scents that pervade a store such as this, I dandered through the downstairs section (not before I was greeted by the lovely, lovely flower lady behind the counter, who made such an effort to say hello whilst in mid-flow of another conversation with a customer, she has to be applauded). Upstairs was just as I'd imagined. A plethora of wedding gifts, baby gifts, toiletries, cute lamps, those wonderfully wise sayings in sign form (such as "I like my money where I can see it, hanging in my wardrobe), scented candles and other goodies. I picked up a small bag of pot pourri (ooooh the smell), and, noting it was handmade in Co Down, turned it on its top. I nearly collapsed at the price (well, I would have had I not been kneeling) for such a small bag...£4.99! But smelt so good - Mulberry Meadow was the name, and it lived up to every inch of its name. Stuff it, £4.99 it was... The delightful sales lady was even more delightful when I went downstairs to purchase my pot pourri, especially when I couldn't find my purse, began searching frantically for it, and then discovered it to be under my arm. Apparently that happens when you're older, not at 22. Whoopsies. The Mulberry Meadow was beyond beautiful when I opened the bag at a later stage. Ah yes, that stunning scent almost obliterated all thoughts of price. Almost...

Did you ever walk away from a shop with a good feeling because you were treated well and got a…read morelittle bit of a bargain - well I have from Ink World. I am making Order of Service booklets at the minute and it is using up a lot of ink and so I've been in and out of this place several times over the last few months. The man who works here is really friendly and helpful - he advised me to bring in my old cartridges and that it would be cheaper to refill than buy new. He also gave me a discount the first day I went in and so obviously I keep calling back. They stock all inks for all computers as well as other stationary items. The waiting time for a refill is about ten minutes so that is quick and they cost much less than if you buy new - the only draw back is that my computer doesn't recognise when the refilled cartridges are empty or running low which a brand new cartridge would. I'm really glad I found this convenient and friendly little shop.
