    Paperchase, Edinburgh

    Ooooh I love this shop!! I had a lovely time there yesterday and found so many gorgeous Christmas (and other) gifts. The stationery range is wonderful, particularly the different coloured sheets of paper (such good quality too) and the greetings cards are just lovely. A great selection of pens, craft items, stickers, box files, classy notebooks, pretty glossy gift bags, boxes and bows and so much more! I liked the 2013 calendars and diaries as well - lots to choose from. It's a very eye-catching and well laid out store and the staff are very pleasant and helpful too. I'll definitely be back there when next in the city!

    See all

    Hello! When did this wee gem spring up?…read more It's not really wee, and it looks new - I'm guessing it's only been on Cockburn Street under a month. Old Town Context is a refreshing, traditional store on Cockburn Street, steering away from the style of the tourist traps on the Royal Mile to offer alternative gift ideas. They have some old English, French and American advert poster art, cards, stationery, gifts, mugs with pin ups on them, clocks made out of recycled glass drinks bottles - a very eclectic and classy selection. Its inspiration is clearly from bygone era's, and I was very impressed with their postcard range. They also have some cracking cards and original prints with cats on them. These cats are wearing kilts and rugby shifrts, quoting Burns and other Scottish poets within the print. It's a very odd idea but entirely up my alley. Overall a very enjoyable shop for the family. It's difficult to walk out of here without buying anything.

    I am glad that my 200th review is on this hidden gem... actually it isn't that hidden, but I have a…read morefeeling that lots of people just walk right on by. In a very different and almost vintage way, it is a souvenir shop. I say that because there were lots of prints, cards, coffee mugs of the city and various British 'things', but they are not the types of souvenirs that you would find in the every single store on the Royal Mile... yeah, you know what I mean. I loved the different prints of the city, my favourite was a very art deco-ish print highlighting the castle in a yellowy-orangish hue against a dark background. They had it as a large print, a card, and a coffee mug. I am now kicking myself that I did not buy it. If you love globes or tin signs, they have loads of them! If you are looking for a different kind of souvenir for someone... or just something for yourself, stop in here because they have some really wonderful items.

    I really don't know why I like this place. I shouldn't. You shouldn't. No one should. It should…read moreoffend you. It's everything wrong with Japan. Over the top, offensively cute, bright sparkly anime characters of every form (as long as it's a cutesy or perverted form). Cutie House basically sells toys, key rings, ornaments, bags and jewellery, of popular Japanese characters in the West like Hello Kitty or Pukka. There is also some Nintendo and Studio Ghibli characters represented, that I can appreciate a little more. They also sell some goods relating to more popular Western animations like Nightmare before Christmas and the ever incredible cult classic, The Moomins. In my heart of hearts I still know this is all tacky commercial tat using up precious Earthly resources, but somehow its kitsch value overwhelms me. One word of warning: this shop is almost as small as my dignity after purchasing something from it. Don't enter in any greater number than one. It really is tiny. A quirky little shop that somehow manages to charm me. I imagine if I spent anytime in Japan these feelings would quickly subside, but for now Cutie House, you win.

    Cutie House is super DUPER kawaii, enough to make your eyes bulge at the trinkets inside…read more This place is bursting full of bubblegum Japanese pop gifts, mainly of the keychain or small necklace variety. The walls are lined with the biggest collection of Hello Kitty and Domukun I have ever seen in my life in such a small place, and the vast majority of stock is tiny. This place is home to everything from Mario figurines and small cuddly toys to Snoopy, Chinese lucky cats and even some mini Dragonball Z figurines. Gifts are pocket sized and ususally around the £5 mark. I love the cute little baby Spiderman guys in here and when I was younger Cutie House would've made me burst with joy. A great gem to take your kids, but you'll enjoy it, too! If I ever find use for an elephant figurine, I will make room for it on my mantelpiece.

    This place is heaven for all you crafters out there! As Scotland's biggest bead shop, there is…read moreliterally 100s of different kinds of beads, threads, findings, chains and charms in this place, not to mention a lot of pretty crystals and gems inside. I love that whenever I walk through the doors here I suddenly come up with about 50 things I want to make, and I can spend as long as I like perusing the beads with my headphones on (and poking my finger in everything... Yep, I'm one of those people!!) It is a bit of a hidden gem, but you can find it just around the corner from The Cameo. It's independently owned and its much cheaper than Hobbycraft, so definitely worth supporting and visiting even just for a look :) They have a huge variety of stock and they are mega chilled out in here which is great for those of us who take a little longer to make up our minds. Whenever I wear out a piece of jewellery, this is my first port of call on trying to fix it. The staff have a great knowledge on things, but I have been in and asked for advice a couple of times and they've said that what I've wanted to do is 'not possible'. Never one to take no for an answer, I picked out various findings and clasps myself both times and managed to do what I set out to, so I would say that although they are great at a lot of things, thinking outside the box on a problem is not one of their strongest points.... But don't let that phase you, you can achieve anything you set out to do and they are always worth consulting :)

    It's impossible to describe this place adequately…read more All three of the branches in Edinburgh (also on the Royal Mile and in the Grassmarket) are tiny and absolutely crammed with any type of trinket you could ever imagine. The kinds things that you see when you're in Morocco, South America or Thailand and would love to buy but know there's no point even trying to get it back the the UK in one piece. They have drapes, throws, incense, jewellery, handmade notebooks, hanging masks/purses/bags/just about anything you can think of to hand-make... but the best thing is the prices. The kind of ethnic-looking jewellery or homeware you'd happily pay loads for in a department store can be snapped up here for pennies. Don't miss... the pashminas. The amount of times people have stroked whichever of Lokaah's pashminas from my extensive collection that I'm wearing that day and asked where I got it from, and told me how they bet it had cost a bomb, has to be some kind of indicator! What's more, you can bag yourself one for as little as £2. My description of this place doesn't do it justice - you have to go and see for yourself.

    Lokaah stocks traditional Indian handicrafts specially imported to Edinburgh and London stores…read more Lokaah assures us of its ethical trading standards, and regardless of whether these claims hold any water or not, the fact remains that this shop sells you the genuine article at bargain prices. Definitely come here if you're into harem pants, incense, and saris. In my opinion Lokaah is a cut above other similar shops that tend to be incredibly expensive. In particular Lokaah stocks a range of amazing hand-carved wooden figures and chests that make ideal gifts. They even accept Euros here, so stop by to unload unwanted shrapnel on lovely trinkets.
