This is a nice little gift shop located on Queen Street which is just off the High Street. It is…read moreonly a small shop spread out over three floors and it is quite cramped inside so you wouldn't really be able to look around if you have a pushchair or are in a wheelchair. They sell all sorts of contemporary and designer homeware and gifts ranging from photo albums to furniture. The prices are a little high but as they sell mostly designer gifts i suppose this is to be expected. However it is a lovely little shop and it is definitely worth going out of your way to have a look around.

Clayhanger is a great shop if you are looking for a slightly off-beat present, the shop stocks…read moreeverything from Lava Lamps to Novelty Cufflinks. There is also a range of 'adult' products for those planning hen or stag nights. Even if you don't end up buying anything from Clayhanger it's worth a visit as there is always something in there to make you chuckle.

Although this shop is listed here under the Toy Shops category, it isn't what I would really…read moredescribe as a toy shop. It does sell some soft toys but in the main it stocks quirky bits and pieces, novelty items and gifts. It has a range of hen night type joke items which aren't suitable for children at all, for example. It also has quite a large selection of greeting cards, mostly comedy ones. I used to think this shop was great in the 1980s - it was a place to find unusual gifts. It all looks really dated and tacky now - so either I've become incredibly sophisticated in my old age, or Clayhanger really haven't kept up with retails trends - I suspect the latter.

This is a great place to go if you are looking for a lovely gift - nice quality gifts, candles, jewellery, handbags, cosmetics and so on, even some furniture items such as sofas and rugs.

They sell quite a few brands that you don't see elsewhere in Exeter such as Lily Flame Candles, LSA glassware and Bombay Duck products. I wouldn't recommend coming in here with a pushchair though as due to the compact size of the shop navigating your way round with a buggy verges on the impossible. There are also a few steps down to the lower part of the shop and so it isn't really practical if you have a pushchair or are in a wheelchair. I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful and it is always worth a look here if you want to buy something a little different.

This is the place to get pick and mix sweets. The range is awsome…read more It is situated on the lower level of the Harlequins shopping centre and is a shop which has a strange magnetic appeal and will draw you in with all the sights and smells of all the different sweets. There are lots of little gifts as well as a large party accessories area where you can find everything from balloons to party favours. It is not just a place for children as there are many big kids in there as well as there is a large range of retro sweets as well. Very good for children spending their pocket money, very good for adults buying sweets to make their own retro sweet boxes or hampers. The staff are very helpful as well. The only drawback is that you will spend more than you bargained for as there is always just one other sweet that you have to try!

It's definitely worth popping in here if you want to get a card that's a little extra special for someone.
