I noticed they're also started selling clothes - some of them vintage! - on one rail outside the shop and another inside. There's a great selection of candles, cards and other lovely things that would make an excellent gift or treat for yourself. There's an abundance of gift shops to to choose from in the area and, whilst this isn't my first choice, I really enjoy popping in as its a pleasant wee shop to browse and staff always say hello and offer help if you need it. I also like having a peek in their ever-changing window displays!

What a sweet little shop!…read more This place caught my eye a few weeks ago, when I stopped dead in my tracks and found myself wandering in to utter: "How much is that Dalek in the window?!" I'm such an adult. The Dalek turned out to be the coolest bubble bath that ever there was and was a sweet price of £7.50. Unfortunately, I hate baths and not even the super cute container could justify my purchase. So I left, knowing that soon, the universe would give me the necessary excuse to buy nerd soap. Enter #SocialMediaSanta. If you're not familiar, this is a very nifty initiative run by Shelter Scotland to give families that otherwise could not afford them, presents for the holiday season. They ask for unwrapped toys and then distribute them throughout the city. You know what is an unwrapped toy? DALEK BUBBLE BATH! Yes, just a week after my window love fest, I found myself gleefully skipping back to this spot to take a Dalek to a nerdy kid in need. Along the way, I realized they stock a ton of other amazing toys - from neat craft kits (paint your own trucks!) to super cute baby bath gloves (the hungry caterpillar! nostalgia bonus!) and everything in between. What started as a one toy purchase turned into fifteen and I swear, I had more fun buying them then the kids who will soon receive them. This place gets a little bonus love from me because the lovely lady behind the till threw in some soap and lotions (for Moms!) free of charge to pay it forward to the folks in Edinburgh. I am the Evil Auntie to two little ones back home, so I dare say i'll be popping back here again to find them unique toys and nerdy giftables, even if it'll cost me a bomb to get them back across the point. But if you have local little ones (or ones on the way!), you should definitely poke your head in here. The prices might be a bit higher then your big box options but the cool factor is worth the price tag.

Can a little children's store be my favorite place to visit when in Edinburgh?

The shop carried many indie labels such as Bobo Choses, Hugo loves Tiki, Grey label, olli and Ella, etc. The owner was very lovely, she let my toddler explore and play with the baskets and toys in the shop. She really loved it. I asked my daughter where she wanted to visit next time and her reply was Edinburgh. So I guess we'll be back soon ;)

No icky frilly lacy pink party dresses in sight just a funky collection of interchangeable cool separates for wee boys and girls all ethically sourced.

I have their Studio Roof Archetype Buildings on my fridge at home and I am in a completely kid free house! It's definitely a destination shop but if you don't live close enough they have a fabulously well organised website to tempt you.

I always strike it lucky in Swish…read more Directed at younger generations, its clothing range balances graphic logo tees with some more elegant (but still cool) dresses. From Junk Food to Ames Brothers, their tees for both guys and girls are good quality. For the ladies, they also have a range of dresses inspired by designer Motel, or at least of a similar ilk. Like Alice, I always worry about the day I grow out of clothing from Swish, since a lot of it isn't very serious. But they do have a quirky range of dressy attire that combines 'street' with 'chic'. They also sell some awesome accessories and bags, including YakPak laptop satchels with elephants all over them. Had my eye on them for ages but my laptop is probably too much of a relic to fit in one of them! Amongst the t shirts, locally designed jewellery and dresses I've bought over the years, last time I was in I bought a kick ass plain hoodie. My boyfriend likes it so much he's tried stealing it off me, but since their new hoodie range is unisex I might just buy him one to save him stretching mine out! This place is dangerous to your wallet - you won't leave without a bag. Cult wishes it was as cool as Swish.

I went in there to hand in my CV earlier this summer, and although they weren't hiring, I had the most amusing conversation with the manager who kindly gave me several tips. Zara may be a little pricey at times, but it's worth the extra cash and there are definitely bargains to be found all year round. All in all Rezzi hearts Zara.

A really decent selection of clothing for women, men and children. So reasonably priced and one of my go-to places for a new wardrobe. This particular store also has a rather large selection of books and DVDs but to be honest, I haven't spend too much time looking around this section. I'm more about the clothing and could spend so much time browsing the shelves. Highly recommended and why not? The main street is only so long and it's worth checking out every charity store whilst in Stockbridge.

This place has become my go-to for glassware/flatware/kitchen ware. I found a great vintage bread box + tea set that works perfectly in my flat, old fashioned ice cream sundae cups, great little cocktail glasses and a half a dozen platters. The home section isn't big but it's well laid out and they usually have one or two useful things kicking about. Plus it's an excellent place to buy frames. Usually those frames will come with hideous artwork, but if you get a nice frame for £1? Don't complain about the weird motel art attached to it. They also have a respectable used book collection with a bookcase spanning one wall of the store. Not as much selection as a few others in the area, but it's still worth a look over. As to clothes, I have to admit, i've never really looked. Nothing has particularly caught my eye in the window and i'm usually juggling 4-5 pieces of glassware by the time I get to that side of the store, so i'll leave that for someone else to comment on. But for knick knacks around the house on the cheap, it's definitely worth popping your head in the door.
