Tash tori isn't like any if those places. For a small shop it has almost everything a crafter might need in small amounts. If you ask any of the staff for suggestions about some weird project you're working on, from making a card, to colouring the face of a puppet, they'll come up with very helpful suggestions, and you can tell straight away that they aren't offering you the highest priced option for the sake of it. It's the best arts and crafts shop I've found outside of America, and certainly one of the best in the Sussex area.

They stock a few balls of wool, some coloured papers and cards, stickers, and so on. It doesn't appear to be terribly expensive, and they also hold some events/classes there; there was a poster in the window advertising an upcoming card making demonstration.

Owned by two curators, The Studio Shop is a cute neighbourhood store that supports and promotes…read morelocal artists and crafts folk. It's so small if you did a cart-wheel you'd probably knock something over. And yet, they manage to stock a lovely array of original ceramics, vases, jewellery, scarves, prints, stationary, plants, lampshades and a few small pieces of furniture. The stock changes frequently and the owners pride themselves on finding unique and distinctive designs you can't find anywhere else. Personally, I love the distressed picture frames and the ceramic milk cartons. The thing I can't get out of my mind though, is the mugs with ceramic toy animals and cars as handles.

There are a lot of lovely homewares shops in Brighton, many with a shabby chic, craft feel- which I…read morehappen to love- and The Studio Shop fits into that category. The Studio Shop stands out of the crowd though- mostly I think because of the lovely colours they introduce into their style through some amazing fabrics, stunning silk cushions with abstract patterns, fantastic painted reclaimed wooden frames. The two owners- who are really relaxed and full of good ideas- have a real sense for textures and have picked up some great wallpapers, cards, and art that play with textiles, texture and colour. The prices range from very inexpensive for small pieces to much more for the art. Love the green front as well.

The selection of books can be a bit hit-and-miss, but there's a good children's section and it is always worth a browse as the stock changes reasonably frequently.

Ross M.'s idea, that this store is just a dumping ground for the rejected stock of other bookshops…read morekinda hits the nail on the head i think! Though, perhaps not, as apparently there's a Works Outlet store down at the Brighton Marina! Despite the junkiness of some, well most of its stock, I am quite fond of the Works. It brings back fond childhood memories of my Dad ushering me and my sisters in to the Bristol store with (in heavy Bristolian) 'come on girls we need stationary! the works is the place to go!'. Though even then the stock seemed pretty naff! I did find cheap kids books though. As an adult, I really wouldn't bother going there for the books, or the gifts. But for cheap stationary - cheaper than W. H. Smiths - it's worth a visit.

Like Warehouse and Bhs, Next seems to have lost it's way over the years…read more Instead of selling something for everyone, Next feels like a department store where only middle aged, middle class people go to buy comfortable and reliable wardrobe staples. They haven't started selling elasticated waist jeans yet but we're definitely talking smart jeans, slacks, shirts, blouses, jumpers, jackets and accessories. Some look quite nice, others look like they were ordered through a catalogue. I wouldn't shop here myself but having seen the kids clothing, I'd be tempted to pop in when I'm looking for presents for my friends and relatives' nippers.

There was a copy of 'The Chap' magazine (produced in Lewes) on display in the menswear section, which set the tone for the rest of the shop. The guy that runs it is sweet, and obviously an enthusiastic collector. I'd recommend this place for an interesting present, or just a place to pass a bit of time!
