This store is about a 5minute walk from where i life. I personally hate clothes shopping i used to…read morebother walking into west quay etc to shop but now, armed with my nus extra card, shop at matalan as its already nice n cheap. I find they have pretty much all the clothes anyone would wish for and is a step up from the uber cheap primark. It feels a bit dated the way the store is layed out, but then again, this probably keeps costs down as opposed to having booming music and flashy displays etc.. with endless streams of sales assistants asking 'are you alright mate'. I prefer to just get in, quickly get something, and get out, matalan facilitates this. Ideal if your male, hate clothes shopping.
The website gives one the suggestion that their stores carry plus sized clothing for women. Sadly,…read morethe Eastleigh location does not. Their excuse was that the clothes didn't sell very well and I would have to travel to Waterlooville to see if they carry plus sized clothing, which is about 40km away. It astounds me that a store that advertises that it sells plus sized clothing actually doesn't. And them saying the clothes didn't sell very well that's why the Eastleigh one doesn't carry them is just ridiculous .. considering the obesity problem in the UK and that at least 50% if not more ladies are at least a size 16 or higher. Sadly, the other plus sized clothing providers in the Southampton area have also closed. Their suggestion? Order my clothes online.

This one's slightly round the corner from the High Street proper, but well worth a visit. Besides a…read morelovely collection of clothes (last time there were lots of posh party frocks and a Hard Rock Café leather jacket for £50), they have some great bric-a-brac shelves. I've found some real bargains here: prices are often cheaper than in London charity shops. For instance on a recent trip I spotted ginger jars for £2.50 each. They also have some lovely carved wooden first-hand stuff. Kids mini jigsaws and money boxes with little carved animals on them. Lovely and very reasonably priced. In the back they have a book nook. It has to be described that way: nice neat shelves and a central padded bench were you can sit and read if you wish. The staff are friendly, and I defy anyone not to find something of interest.

I go to the shop in Westbury Village, and love all the gorgeous clothes and toys there. The price range is varied- you can pick a lovely gift up for 50p or £50 so there's something to suit everyone. They also have very knowledgable staff in both shops and they are always on hand for ideas if I need them. There are always lots of toys out for little ones to play with and they are breast-feeding friendly too! They sell lots of well known children's clothes brands such as Frugi, Kite, Pigeon, Hately, Joules and Blade & Rose, I have bought lots of gorgeous dresses for my daughter and everyone asks where they're from and comments on how lovely they are. They also have an online shop so if you're not in Bristol you can still shop here! I love Pickles and Poppets.

While some pieces are v pricey, as any designer label goods are, some are reasonable and there's a great range of more affordable accessories - it's a lovely place to buy my cousins a special birthday treat. Particularly like the fact that Clare, the owner, holds a fashion show each season and her customers' children star; demonstrates the personal service the store represents.

Really pleased they're now selling online as well and the fact that they've got an outlet part of the site so you can pick up some great discounts on last season pieces. Gorgeous clothes, the IloveGorgeous dresses are amazing and the Scotch Shrunk for the boys is just so cool. Great store, fabulous clothes - 5 stars from me!

Although every blue moon will find the odd bargain.

Its also very hard to handle more than about 45 minutes in here as for some unknown reason the whole place seems to suffocate you.

Its the ultimate craft and home build store ever, just everything you could ever need or want for crafting.

If you're willing to shop online I'd highly recommend OPITEC in Southampton instead!

It stocks some truly gorgeous pieces of jewellery, a fabulous range of sterling silver pieces, some just plain others inlaid with semi precious stones often available as a set of necklace, earrings and bracelet if required. They also sell a small selection of modern/designer brand watches. If buying as a gift a small gift box can be purchased at an extra cost. My only problem with this store is that the staff are very young, often involved in personal conversations so if you ask for help you are having to interrupt them and the counter area can be messy when they are merchandising the units. All this aside once you have their attention the staff are happy to help, eager to show you the jewellery pieces and keen to advise.

As far as value for mnoney, well it's always difficult to compare, because it's not like any other shop where you can do a comparrison, it's more down to what does it for you and how much you're prepared to pay for it! Always as for a little free something with a purchase, like a cleaning cloth or gift wrap!
