This is such a lovely charity shop - probably one of the nicest I've ever been too! I've been in a…read morecouple of times for a look and I absolutely love how it's laid out - essentially, it's split into four areas and laid out like a house. There's a bed, bathroom, living and men's/women's clothing areas. It's very cleverly done and is really appealing, especially compared to your standard charity shop. Prices are reasonable, there's a huge range of women's & men clothes and accessories (a whole drawer of ties!) as well as crockery/glassware, cards for Christmas (if you want to get in really early) and the usual bits you'd expect in a charity shop. It's worth paying this shop a visit just to see how nicely it's laid out, even if you're not planning on buying anything!

I thought I would do a review on this place, but for the time I was in it a few weeks back. All I…read morecan say is. I think it's a very posh looking charity shop. I liked it. Nipped in here the last time after finishing a cooking job. Giffnock is a lovely wee place. I think you'd need to be posh to live here:) a charity shop is just a charity shop. But this one just feels different.

I pass by here most days and pop in now and again for a swatch at their new stock. The staff are…read morehelpful and are quite happy to have a blether if they're not too busy. For the past few months I've been hunting for a wooden box - and as luck would have it, Mr A spotted just what I was after in here, for a fiver. One quick visit later and it's on my fireplace. Most of the stock in here is kinda on the moderately priced side for a second hand shop, but it's worth a peruse.

Sadly I've only been here twice over the years but this is an awesome Barbados charity shop…read more Most people that know me I'm often found in charity shops looking out for vintage items. I was in the area so made a point of calling in to see what stock they had in. It's not often that l see a modern well stocked & organised charity well this shop this one of those What did they have? There was rails of modern & vintage clothing with window displays that where thought out most items where vintage - retro & collectable small selection of jewellery in two display cabinets. There are shelves around the shop some had women's bags others had modern items but everything seemed like quality, there was no tacky ornaments or what l see as junk. Expensive? Well not really I've been to some charity shops and found others that I've been to very expensive and can source items that they sell cheaper brand new. The prices here where pretty good. I managed to pick up some collectable pint glasses at £1 each l also found a game controller for £4.99. This Bernardo's charity shop is a pretty good one and if you are looking for some good vintage items you would love this shop. Definitely be back.

This is a really big branch of Oxfam and it has a pretty trendy scene going on. You will find a lot…read moreof nice second hand goods here and will be helping a good cause too! They are always looking for volunteers who will be able to spare a couple of hours per week to help out with sorting stock and the general running of the shop, so if you do have the time it's a real worthwhile bit of experience. It is definitely worth having a browse at this Oxfam and you will more often than not find something that tickles your fancy. It's also great if you're having a clear out and have clothes that you don't wear anymore but are too good to throw out, Oxfam will appreciate your donations.

There's even a chair by the bookshelves, if you fancy having a wee preview of the book you're about to buy/a wee sit down. Clothing wise, prices were reasonable and there was great stock variety. My only complaint is that the rails were a tad too full, which didn't make for the easiest browsing. The thing I liked most about this shop was that the departments were equal; nothing dominated the shop. A lot of books, clothes and bric, and some vinyl too. - The perfect mix!

This shop seems to be pretty new (I'd never noticed it before!) and it sells a big range of second-hand kids stuff. On the basis that I thought the clothes etc were new when I visited, it goes to show the stuff looks really nice and is well presented. There's also toys, and an area selling super cheap new basics as well. I wasn't in to buy anything myself (wait til I get a dog and then I'll be back to buy baby rompers for it) but prices were super cheap and the staff were nice, so 4 stars is it.

This is one of 20 charity stores in Scotland raising money for chest, heart and stroke related…read moreillnesses. They fund research into all aspects of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and the social impact of these conditions. This like many other charity shops, is full to the brim of clothing, books, childrens toys, CDs and other bric-a-brac. They also have a sign on the window saying "Donate, don't waste." So if you're thinking about having a spring clean and need to shift some unwanted items then I'm sure they'd be more than happy to take them off your hands here.

As Eleanor points one this is one of a relatively small chain of Scottish charity shops aimed at…read morehelping chest, heart and stroke related illnesses. This is one of the main reasons that I really admire this place; seen as Scotland's population is indeed prone to these sorts of medical problems. In fact, a close friend recently had a family loss due to a sudden and massive heart attack in her sleep and at only 43 years old. Anyway, back to this particular charity shop. It's a decent size and has a good selection of stock. This includes knickknacks, books, magazines, records, tapes and cds as well as clothes, shoes and tons of kiddies toys. I realise, there is still some stigma attached to charity shops and I imagine, this is especially the case when it comes to children's books and toys. Which is a real shame because they do have some really nice and reasonably priced stock in here. Luckily, I don't know anyone with young kids, so this is something I can't take advantage of - but if you do, it's definitely worth a look. Other items to look out for in here have got to be sensible, good quality work clothes and - the odd time - shoes. Not all sparkles and excitement, I know. But I do have a real bug bare about spending loads of well earned cash on work clothes that immediately get shoved into the washing machine after a shift. Of course, it's not all about going buying mad; the other side of the coin if, of course, donating any unwanted items you have hidden under the bed. So pop along.

The Magpie's Nest is the most happening charity shop ever and it's in Govan. It even puts some of…read morethose West End ones to shame. Not only does it collect and sell the usual charity produce but it has a project called Starter Packs Glasgow. This project puts together packs of essentials household items for homeless who are aquiring permanent tenancies. They work through referals from housing officers, social workers etc. It's such a great idea and a very worthy project. Starter Packs Opening Times: Monday - Friday 10.00am - 4.00pm Please call prior to making donations by delivery. The Magpie Nest also run the Magpie Eco Fashion. Here they offer tution in dressmaking but using only reclaimed, vintage and retro materials. Not only do they have MEF but they have Fashion Workshop Classes too. They have a teacher/designer Annie who will help you in learning fashion design. The price for classes is excellent at £10 a head and they will supply the fabric and the resources. They also always have plenty events running from Rag & Bone Collections to Womble Up Your Scheme. Check their website for event updates. And to top off what they can do they also have gorgeous Govan gals 'Magpie Models' for hire. Contact Magpie's Nest for rates. The staff are always friendly and very helpful, and if you can't find what you're looking for they'll always check to see what's in the back. They have never let me down. Magpie's Nest - not just any charity shop!

It's so close to the subway which is ideal if you end up coming away with loads of items! Stepping into The Magpie's Nest is like going into an Aladdin's cave of treasure - theres so much stuff! I love the amount of old crockery they have so if you love vintage looking teacups and saucers you will want to come here. They have two shops and both are really close to each other, the other shop has bigger items like sofas, tables and wardrobes and showcases handmade crafty items from local talented people. I remember being really impressed by the low price for things, if you're an up-cycler you will have a ball in this shop! The good thing about spending money here is that it's all going to a good cause as they give out starter packs to people who are struggling to afford basic but needed items for their homes.

In modern days they don't want your donations of clothing or quality items but to sign up to a monthly direct debit and as soon as they have your details your hounded on the phone for more money.

This branch is a charity shop with some cracking merchandise on sale. The charity shop offers free uplift for any old items you may want to give away. Gorbals Recycles aims to prevent land fill by recycling people's old furniture, brick-a-brac etc. They sell really good quality items and clean everything brought into the shop. The volunteers steam clean and tag the garments in the back shop. The shop is although in the city centre is a bit hidden away. It's located at the bottom of Saltmarket near to the high court. It's not got a lot of passing trade hence why I thought I should Yelp this project. Gorbals recycles supports volunteers and unemployed trying to get back into work. It's an excellent project and deserves lots of support. The shop is in a lovely spot where Glasgow Green is just over the road, so if you're ever swinging by to Glasgow Green swing by Market on the Green.
