The infamous Tinkerbell Babywear store was almost no more when the Disney bigwigs who own the…read moreTinkerbell brand tried to make it change it's name a couple of years back. It caused outrage amongst the readers of The Motherwell Times and thankfully, Tinkerbell won and lived on to see another day. Drama aside, Tinkerbell is yet another baby and kids wear store that specialises in the more expensive end of the spectrum. Stockists of designer makes and elaborate communion and Christening gowns, it is definitely a good place to visit if you need any of the latter. In saying that, the shop does stock a huge range of stuff, so it is quite unlikely you'll leave empty handed, as the stuff is just adorable. I bought my nephew a gorgeous pair of blue patent, really old fashioned baby booties which his mummy loved, for the not so expensive price of £13.00.

Okay, I do agree with Adam on principal; kids are kids; they generally don't care what they wear…read moreand if they do they opt for the Buzz Lightyear costume over the Diesel jeans any day, and will then proceed to get whatever they wear covered in mud, paint, pasta sauce and porridge. So, when all is said and done, expensive clothes for kids are a big no-no in my book. However... my sometimes overwhelmingly ridiculous side cannot help but be bowled over by the sight of a three year old in a military style woolen coat. Something along the lines of how I react to Pets At Home. OHOSOCUTE!! And you know, sometimes I think it strengthens the bond between mother and child by having the child dressed so smartly, so... sometimes - SOMETIMES it's worth getting the high quality stuff and keeping your child away from all puddles and ice-cream on days they're wearing it. The rest of the time, I do think wasting money in such a fashion is insane. But for those special times - head along here and ease your fashion minded desires by taking them out on your kids. It'll be worth it someday.... ok, maybe not.

Ok folks i just don't get it. I cant actually bring myself to understand why in the name of jebus…read morewe are obsessed with clothing our kids in ridiculously overpriced clothing. As i may have mentioned in my review for another kids store in the city (see love it again) i'm pretty sure that kids are those small things that play with mud, roll down hills and generally do messy, dirty things on a daily basis. So, answer me this why are we dressing them in designer gear when a hessian sack would be more appropriate....hmmm and a possible business idea!! That said however, if your of the opinion that your child should match you in your designer gear then this place will provably suit you and judging by the amount of time this store has been in business, it looks like there are a few of you out there. With cool signage, funky window displays and a name that will always appeal (any Beatles related place will always have a look in) Strawberry Fields is the benchmark and elder statesman of the designer gear for kids emporiums. You say Dolce and Gabbana..i say hessian sack.

What a gorgeous little shop! The Smart Stork sells luxurious baby gifts and children's toys. 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.

Our New arrival is due in June and my wife and I were fed up trekking into Glasgow to check out prams etc . This store has everything you need for a new born and the staff were so nice and friendly (making a change from some of the stores in town) . We ordered our complete bedroom furniture which thankfully was on special saving me over £400 which they are storing for me until i can get the nursery in order . my wife cant decide which pram yet (they have so many to choose from ) but we will be back at Matchsticks to get one from them .

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 ;)

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.
