There's even a fabric stash, rolls end up in bright bins, and a cute pastel ladder that I feel that I must have in my life. It is a bit overwhelming, but there's a bench outside for your company who can't cope!

Nice jewellery store that is small, packed but still well laid out. Concentrates on deisgner…read moreaspects of jewellery without being crazily expensive (just expensive!). Usually has about 90% of stuff for women (great for presents) and some smallish mens section (never inspired me). Presents bought from there are well received. I think this is less of an engagement / wedding type of jewellers than high street stores. Generally has a focus on silver and semiprecious stones though maybe thats all I was prepared to spend on! There are some diamod pieces and they also make jewellery on the premises. definitely different to high street stores and worth a look. If you blow the budget then you can cheer up in nearby Willis coffee shop

For anyone who doesn't know, they sell a very wide selection of different paper and other crafting items like sequins, scissors, etc. You can fill a whole box up with the paper of your choice, for a set price. I love having a look in here, especially at the sales section as they often have packs of odd paper and/or envelopes for 50p - great bargains to be had! The one this I don't like about this particular branch is the staff. I had a run in with one of them and she was VERY RUDE to me, as she commented on the way that one of my sisters looked which I found unnacceptable for a member of staff! :S

There really is a lot of unique jewellery and great locally-sourced items that you need to have a look at, Puddytiger is well worth browsing. What I liked the most was that it doesn't fall into the common trap of New Age stores which seem pretentious and cheesy. Prices aren't too bad either for this type of establishment, so I'd definitely recommend dropping by on any visit to Tynemouth.
