I'm probably giving away what I think of as one of my little secrets but this RSPCA shop is a…read moresource of some real gems. I spent a lot of time in here when I was pregnant and after, and probably bought up most of its stock of babysuits (well at 10p each who wouldn't?!). I don't get in there as much as I used to nowadays and sadly when I do there's not so much for my daughter now she's bigger but I've still managed to find some really good toys in there for her at under a couple of quid, often including batteries. Some of the staff know me by sight now and it's really nice to be able to chat when I go in. I managed to give a few things to them once although I'm not sure whether they would have made much from the books I gave them, they were a bit niche. This is my favourite of all the charity shops in Stony Stratford as it's like a jumble sale, which I love, being able to dig out a good bargain. The others aren't quite the same.

It's a tiny little shop - forget trying to get a wheelchair in there, you're hard put sometimes to walk round the place with a stick so you'd never get a chair in here. They do their best to keep it orderly, but with such a limited space this place does tend to get a bit well disorganised and messy. It's a good place to look though as there are often odd little things that you can find here.

It's got all the usual things, clothes, books, dvds, bric-a-brac etc. but they also sell a few red cross branded items like calander, diary etc. They don't over charge for the stuff they're selling recognising that it's better to sell it all cheaply than to only sell a few bits for a lot and have lots go to waste and earn less for the charity. The staff here are really friendly and do their best to help you if you're looking for something in particular too which is nice.
BabyBond offer reasonably priced private ultrasound scanning for pregnant women. We booked a scan…read moreat the Milton Keynes babybond in November 2007, when I was 16 weeks pregnant. We paid £69 for a 2D sexing scan, which was the best price I could find. They were fantastic. The scan room was really big with space and equipment for my 2 toddlers to play while I had the scan. The scan itself was really high quality and they gave us LOADS of high quality photos. The sonographer even printed out a few photos just for my little boys, and she put them in envelopes that read My Baby Brother. It was lovely the way they were so welcoming and friendly towards out children (most places tend to see them as a nuisance) I highly recommend baby bond!
I went to baby bond in Stoney Stratford in my last pregnancy and could not sing their praises…read moreenough! However with this pregnancy I have had a nightmare with booking a scan at 16 weeks for gender and 28 weeks for 4D. The receptionist is an absolute nightmare, she sounds literally hysterical on the phone and twitters on nonsensically with all the options " well if you look on the website you would know" she trilled when I simply asked for the next available 4D scan appointment. Needless to say I couldn't get a word in edgeways and gave up, I will have to try to book on line and just hope she is on a break when I attend the appointment. Never had a problem with the sonographer always felt we received a good professional service. Ditch the nut receptionist or get her some mood stabilisers to calm her down!

The ladies in the shop were super helpful even though they knew my sister isn't from the area and it was unlikely she'd buy from there. We left empty handed after about an hour in the shop yet armed with tips, ideas and names and websites of shops we could check out.
I was a bride earlier this year and Once in a Life time were fantastic!…read more They were accommodating (once without an appointment and one with), charming, knew their stock, they listened and were utterly professional. We were put at ease immediately and we had a wonderful experience. I had two other appointments that day and although the dress did come from this shop, they understood the process, were pragmatic and I couldn't be more happier that the business came back to these lovely ladies. They are a credit to their industry and I would recommend them to anyone. I had limited time to the wedding and they couldn't be more helpful or accommodating. I only wish I had organised my bridesmaids dresses from there - their prices were much less and the service far, far more superior to the other company I used, which only highlighted how fantastic this business is. Live and learn but I hope this helps.

It's laid out much like a regular bookshop would be with sections for fiction, and different non-fiction types, the difference is that all the books sold here are second hand and have been donated by people to help raise money for willen hospice. I love this shop, I love reading and I much prefer to buy a book that someone else has already read and keep it from going into landfill than to buy a brand new book. I llike it even more here because I know my money is going to a really fantastic cause.

If offers a great range of toiletries,household cleaning items, stationery, toys and games, DIY, wallpaper and paint, car products, kitchen items, household furnishings including some small furniture items, jewellery, accessories, sweets and snacks, books, cards and loads of other things!! The household furnishings range is particularly good in this branch with a fantastic range of lights, photo frames, bed covers and curtains all at really low prices. It is one of the first places I think of to look. Wilkinsons have such a huge range of products now that I often try them before any other store for a lot of items as the prices are so good. There is a customer service desk where they are only too happy to help with refunds and exchanges. It does get really busy in here especially on a Saturday so be prepared for a bit of a queue at the checkouts sometimes.

Around Christmas time they start to sell more gift type products which are usually of a named brand so nodody will know that your bargain buy came from Wilkinsons! I have also found the perfume they sell to be very well priced. I would advise anyone who always buys toiletries from Boots to check out Wilkinsons as they sell lots of the same brands but are nearly always cheaper - often quite a lot cheaper! Don't be fooled into thinking this is a small shop - they have an upstairs but the escalator is at the back of the shop. Best thing in here is the pick n mix - VERY cheap compared to places like Woolies!

It sells pretty much everything you need from beauty products, toys, pet food to decorating products and bathroom fittings and everything is at very reasonable prices. It has also started selling food in the last year when before it just used to sell sweets. The store does have a lift but it is hidden away so elderly customers might not know about it and its a shame they do not have a till upstairs too but otherwise i really enjoy shopping here as i can get anything i need.

They sell similar ranges to BHS and Marks and Spencers such as clothing and accessories, homewares and soft furnishings, gifts and seasonal items, but they also have fantastic cosmetics and perfume counters where you can get advice on skin care and make up and I believe that they do some demonstrations too. They often sell gift sets that are unavailable in other stores. The clothing ranges are split into departments for differnent ranges and designers and they offer clothing designers suitable for all age ranges. The store is a large one which has two floors accessible by an escalator. There is free parking in the Grosvenor centre where it is situated and the store can be accessed through two separate entrances. The store is nicely laid out and although some of the items may be a bit more expensive than smaller stores, they often sell things that you cannot get in other stores and it is a great place to pick up a variety of goods, so fantastic for Christmas shopping.
