A fantastic jewellery shop in the heart of Bournemouth…read more If you love silver you need to look at this place. It has a fantastic range of earings, bracelets and necklaces, rings and toe rings. A lot of the jewellery is made with gems so there's a whole range of colours to choose from. Some are dainty and some are quite exuberant, and all points in between. The prices are very good too, in my opinion. At the back of the shop you start seeing polished stones as items on their own and then there's incense and burners and natural oils and all sorts of 'new age' type items. There are also some really interesting books on sale. The shop is busy, students from overseas find it, au pairs find it, everyone finds it. The service is good.

As soon as you walk in the door the staff are smiling, the aromatic smells hit you and the quiet music soothes you. It's like walking into a small haven of peace and quiet. There's a great range of gifts and if you can't think of what to get someone for Christmas and would like something a bit differnet and perhaps quirky then take a look. Good value too.

For a small shop this does stock quite a fair amount of products and the prices aren't bad. I have also found their range of magazines is good as well. The staff are great they are very willing to help with any queries or problems that come up. I have never though seen this shop busy, which I think is down to the fact there is no parking outside un like the newsagent at the other end of the Broadway.

Probably the biggest toy and kids shop in Southampton, definitely in the city centre. Situated…read moreopposite West Quay retail park its in a good location. Its new facelift this year really has improved it, giving it a fresh breath of life into the store. I really used to love Toys R Us as a child, I was only allowed to visit once or twice a year to get christmas and birthday and I loved going round with all the toys. As an adults toys and games still have they're appeal but to me Toys R Us has lost it, catering for cheap quality imported toys to sell easily and it really does annoy me. And the prices aren't competitive at all. Still good for board games and often has 3 for 2 on different brands.

There is easy parking and the store is really easy to navigate. Staff are friendly and helpful and are also very informative on the products on offer. Not the cheapest toy store in town when you have Tesco's Homebase and the entertainer nearby. They also seem to not have everything in stock and tend to sell out of all the newest and most wanted toys so quickly and take ages to get stock back in.
