This…read moreshop is primarily aimed at toys and gifts for small children, so it probably wouldn't suit a child over the age of ten. There are lots of activities and things for children to make inside The Smart Stork which is ideal for parents so that they can look round the shop while their child is occupied playing. The range of toys available in this store is quite amazing - they have castles for boys and princess castles for girls, learning books, soft toys and a cook your own food kit which I would have loved when I was younger. The Smart Stork also has a decent sized baby section, with books, clothes and toys. If there is something you can't find in the shop, they have a huge range of children's goods on The Smart Stork website which are available to order. It is a fantastic shop to pop into to buy something for children, you will be spoilt for choice.

Corstorphine and Raeburn Pram Centre caters for every one of your baby needs! It sells everything from prams, buggies, cots and basconettes to potties, safety equipment, ratteles and changing tables! Prices very from the very cheap to the pretty expensive depending on your purchase as this store has such variety, but considering the larger pieces of furniture and brand name produce the shop deals in, its safe to say that it is very reasonable. Not only is the produce varied, but the staff's knowledge is too. On the hunt for a gift for my new baby cousin, they were more than happy to enlighten me with their explicit knowledge on the difference between dummies and anything else that caught my eye. If you're on the hunt for anything baby, this is the place to be!

We first went there as we would prefer to support local stores rather than just big companies. But we were very impressed with the price of the pram we purchased, especially as the system worked out nearly 10% cheaper compared to the price advertised in mothercare. The staff were very helpful and not too pushy, and were happy to give me brochures and demonstrate all the features of the pram with lots of local knowledge which was a great thing to have as the buses around Edinburgh let you take prams and buggies on but only if they can fold down if needed. They were very good at putting up with my wants such as needing it to fit in my small Clio or wanting a pretty colour. There were quite a few car seats the we could chose from and the staff gave me lots of demonstations at how these fits, including going out to the car to see if one will fit into my car which was excellent. I would very much recomend this shop, and judging by the number of people also in the store on a Saturday afternoon so would many other people. THe range, prices and staff are second to none for prams and buggies and would tell any of my friends to go there too. I wholeheartedly give this a 5/5 rating.

They specialise in traditional toys here, you are unlikely to find really complex electronic gadgets, just good old fashioned fun. There are loads of board games, lego, child's dolls, for some reason Warhammer, and a few things I had never seen before. It is a bit of a shambles as well, but in a cute independent shop way, you can get lost in amongst piles of toys and games. The people there are great as well and you can see that they enjoy selling toys to little kids, and bigger kids as well. I did see a few adults having a cheeky peek around and it was amusing realising that they were enjoying it more than the kids. Since the closure of Woolworths there are few toy stores around any more, and even fewer independent toy shops. Toys Galore is there to bring fun to people and in that respect it succeeds. A great place for gifts, either for children or for those who still claim to be 'young at heart'

And, given it's an independent store, it really isn't that expensive. Monopoly and Cluedo were £15. Now, I'm 22. And as a child I never had that many toys. My parents bought me books to turn me into the verbose, intolerant specimen I am today (I'm really very nice, and so are my parents but that doesn't work for reviewing purposes). I used to get so jealous of my classmates, with their cool toys. I did have loads of Lego, mind. Given this deprivation as a child you'd think I'd go wild in a place like this. You'd think I'd be sliding down the isles on my knees, crashing around with glee. Or at least, you know, be a bit excitable. Not so. It was dark and eerily quiet. It all felt a bit serious. It was everything a toy shop shouldn't have been. Mr Magorium wouldn't be impressed.

This is one of those unusual and wonderful shops that are very rare these days. If you are looking…read morefor a traditional shop that only sells one kind of thing, like toys, or cards, and find it hard to deal with a wider range of items that seemingly defy neat classification into one category, then this is not for you. If however you are interested in all things beautiful, handcrafted and at the same time would like to support the care of adults with learning disabilities, then this is the place to go. The Mulberry Bush in Edinburgh is part of Garvald Edinburgh and has no links to the other Mulberry Bush online shop that's based in Sussex. The website for the Mulberry Bush Edinburgh is https://www.garvaldmakers.com/ where you can get a good overview of what you can purchase in the shop. The Garvald approach to social therapy "brings together all the factors that are important for any person in their daily life. A work-like environment provides meaning, structure and stability. The physical environment is even more important for people with learning disabilities. Our day facilities are calm and creative spaces and we encourage respect for the natural world around us. This nourishes the senses and and develops a feeling of community and respect that would be otherwise very difficult for our members to experience. Isolated people become integrated people. Garvald Edinburgh now supports people across four locations. We are also one of the founding organisations of get2gether Edinburgh, which arranges social activities for people with disabilities in safe and friendly places throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians."

I could go on, but I won't. As you'll have gathered, I don't know how to approach it because I can't fathom what this shop is supposed to be. At first I thought it was card shop, given the racks of cards by the door. Then I noticed the paints and pencil crayons and thought it must've been an art supplies shop. But then I saw the toys and dolls. Oh I get it, it's a toy shop that sells and art supplies. Hang on, what about the books? A book shop that sells toys, greetings cards and art supplies? Surely not. I can't even place the skincare products in any of this. I'm so confused.
