Cottage Crafts is a really cute little gift shop…read more They sell a really great variety of cute and unusual stock including greeting cards, jewellery, stationary (including a really quirky line with cartoon animals and funny quotes--I can't remember the name of the company, but they are really cute), and all manner of other gifty items. I love almost everything in this shop. It's colourful, cute, girly and all around fun. The only thing negative I have to say about this shop is that nothing for sale here is actually truly of a "craft" nature, and therefore Cottage Crafts is kind of an inappropriate name for the shop.

What a delightful establishment this is! I might even go as far as to say delectable!…read more Nook & Cranny stocks a veritable cornucopia of gorgeous gifts, stationery and homewares, all utterly charming. The first thing that caught my eye (and drew me in from my journey up Bold Street) were the beautiful Cable & Cotton fairy lights displayed in the window - these stunning textured, multi coloured, orb fairy lights are just magical and certainly set the scene for the rest of the shop. There is so much to gaze or chuckle at and drool over in Nook & Cranny that I just wouldn't know where to start telling you all about it but other highlights include the bear paw oven mitts, the 'My Cuppa Tea' colour matching guide mug and the Knit Your Own Zoo kit. I was in seventh heaven. Imagine my delight when I discovered that the back of the shop (which used to be storage space) has now been turned into a cosy little cafe called Quills & Coffee. Sadly I couldn't stay to sample any of the beautiful looking cakes but I vowed there and then to visit again as soon as possible. Yet more delight...Nook & Cranny and Quills & Coffee put on occasional film screenings at the back of the store!! The next one is American Beauty on Saturday 28th March at 7pm - tickets are £10 and include free drinks and pizza and available from www.nookandcrannyshop.co.uk. Magic

This is a fantastic independent biz that I ventured into when in Liverpool a couple of weeks back…read more We actually held an event in the back part of the business and I didn't realise it existed until Liverpool CA Gemma A introduced me to it - but the space is really cavernous and it was great to temporarily see Quills coffee set up in the back. Very very cool cards and gifts throughout, I was especially impressed with the awesome range of band music posters in the back - everything from Queens of the stone age to classic hiphop ones - really worth a look if you're nearby and fancy some colourful artwork to brighten up your walls. Very friendly staff, they hopefully will do well in this prime location in Liverpool.

Expect a contrasting variety of cards and gifts from the innocent and cute to the downwright naughty and scary! Overall, the shop has friendly staff as they kindly helped me look for the card I was searching for and at affordable prices, you can't really go wrong.

What a beautiful little shop, down a cobbled street in the lovely town of Leek. This place is the…read moreperfect venue to buy cute gifts and knick knacks for anybody from 1 to 101. I have to mention the owner in this review, she is super duper sweet, and on my few visits, she is very helpful and smiley. This place not only is a lovely shop, but it also holds regular crafty workshops, from crotchet and knitting to dressmaking. These are all reasonably priced and range from beginners level to expertise. They encourage the ladies (and gents) to drink tea, eat cakes and have a natter whilst doing so. I also believe that Bibelots also has something called crafty matters, which are opportunities for people to meet up and socialise whilst making and creating in the beautiful Bibelots environment. This little shop supports the community and does it in style. I really loved the totally locally feel, and I'll be back as soon as I can.

I went in here because I was lured in by the smell of candles and OH my, was I in for a treat! There on every shelf was candles, handmade candles that smelt lovely. I had to buy one. Not only that they had cards and little gifts but what is unusual in here is that they make chess sets and wire models. Like I said in another review, Uppermill offers something unique to a shopper. This little business is set up online and have around four websites; one main one for the shop and three others for ordering helium balloons, making badges and also making chess sets! Spoilt for choice or what? I love this little shop!

I could spend hours in here, looking at every individual homemade candle. I bought lots of small gifts for my mum's birthday here and she was delighted with them.

I liked this gift shop because it was different. It pays to be different, in my opinion, because…read moregifts should fit the personality of the recipient and that's difficult to accomplish when most gift shops carry one-size-fits-all made-in-china crap. Now, I'm not saying that all of this stuff is high quality or even that none of it is made in China (I'm sure some of it is), I'm just saying it deserves a good review because it's different and you are sure to find something a little out of the ordinary here. Gifts here are definitely girly, though, so don't expect to find anything for a guy. You will find jewellery, photo frames, figurines and collectables, stationary, gift cards and wrapping paper, etc. All fairly decently priced, and it's definitely worth a look, especially if like me you kind of have an obsession with gift shops ...

Fresh cut flowers and bouquets are sold here as well as a small selection of potted plants and a few little gifts. The shop is quite literally blooming, it's full to bust and smells divine.

I suppose artificial flowers have their place, though--like in graveyards. They also sell a selection of potted plants including adorable little mini cactuses which I think make great gifts. :) I love the name of this shop--original, and appropriate. I also like the the bright blue exterior, which is in keeping with the name of the shop, draws the eye, and yet fits in nicely in the old-style shopping area of Ormskirk.
