The Works in the cascades closed a little while ago, but luckily the branch at the Gunwharf is…read morepretty good too. Lot's of great price books and art materials and bits for the kids. I recently made a special trip here to buy the Destination Portsmouth game as they were selling it for £4.99. the assistant was really friendly and we were discussing where to buy The Portsmouth Edition Monopoly too. The store is a little awkward to navigate if you have a wheel chair or buggy, as some of the displays are in the way a bit.

This place is a blessing! Mike Eastwood who owns this…read morebusiness has been doing this for 20 years. It is coming froma very real place, if you know what I mean. AiristiA has a fantastic website as well and they sell a huge range of well chosen crystals, books, CD's and DVD's, cards and jewllery, insense, essential oils, etc. Ok, so there are many such shops around these days, but here's none like this one. And if you are interested in crystals, then this is an important place to be in touch with. Mike sources crystals from some special places - crystal skulls, Lemurians, new age crystals and his beautiful set of Nine Chakra Healing Crystals. These are absolutely amazing! Also they run interesting, worthwhile courses and there are practitioners who work from the shop as well.
This is a shop specialising in crystals and books of a spiritual and philosophical nature. If you…read moreare interested in crystals (and their healing properties) then unlike many other similar shops this is the place I would recommend as they seem very serious and knowledgeable about them. If you are not so deeply interested it is still a great place to visit as they also sell a lot of beautiful jewellery and you can find some lovely items that would make excellent gifts.
This bookshop is located on the outskirts of the city centre, therefore it is not as easily…read moreaccessible as the alternative bookshop. However this bookshop concentrates on the student population and is in a handy location for them. As it is situated next to the Student Union students can't miss it. This shop sells all the textbooks that the students require because they get the reading lists from the University and order in advance. However the selection of other books is quite limited. This is due to its small size and the fact that it is focusing on the textbook side. For students it is handy as it will sell all the books they need and when I was there they also offered a student card to give you money off as well. However it is not the sort of bookshop anyone will find interesting to browse round.
This makes me feel old, but I do remember when W H Smith used to be a proper bookstore; now it's…read moreessentially just a big newsagents. There's very few actual books (if you want that, go across the street to Waterstone's), but the shop does sell a good mix of gifts (especially around Christmas), chocolate, games, DVDs and magazines. There's sadly not a huge manga/comic section, and the few that they do have they shove in with the young kids' magazines, which is a bit inappropriate as some of them e.g. the not-quite-for-kids Deadpool do not exactly mesh well with Barbie or Disney-related kiddie mags. The staff here are really friendly and helpful, and they try to keep the queues under control on busy days. The only pain is their shopping bags - literally a pain - they're made of that kind of material that cuts through your hands after holding them too long!

British Bookshops and Sussex Stationers is the best place in Southampton to get all your stationery…read morerequirements. It has a bigger, better and more attractively displayed selection than any other shop. Also, this store is really great for book-buying and browsing. They always have money-saving special deals on offer. Their friendly and very helpful staff really know their stuff and make excellent recommendations. Author Philip Pullman supports independent bookshops and has presented this branch of BB/SS with a signed Oxford Literary Festival photograph of himself with the message, `best wishes to British Bookshops and Sussex Stationers`. You can see this photo displayed on the wall behind the main counter at the back of the shop. Nicely done !!!!!!
Sussex Stationers (aka British Bookshops) is always a good place to come and find new release books…read moreat a cheaper than main bookstore price. On a recent visit into Southampton I was looking for the latest rew release from James Patterson and popped into Sussex Stationers in the precinct after looking in Waterstones and Borders. True to form, SS had it cheaper than both of them. The only other place to get books as cheap as this in my opinion are the supermarkets but they don't often have them in so quickly. While I was browsing an assistant offered an opinion on a book I was looking at (Twilight) and recommended this so I purchased it along with my James Patterson one. After reading it and realising she was indeed correct and it was a really good read I went straight back, thanked her and bought the following 3 sequels. I'm always really impressed with the service in SS/BB and this is usually my first port of call when looking for a new book.

Good place to pick things up for a children's party, but not always easy to be sure how good quality some of the products are.

For parking, can park in sainsburys' car next door.

Its new facelift this year really has improved it, giving it a fresh breath of life into the store. I really used to love Toys R Us as a child, I was only allowed to visit once or twice a year to get christmas and birthday and I loved going round with all the toys. As an adults toys and games still have they're appeal but to me Toys R Us has lost it, catering for cheap quality imported toys to sell easily and it really does annoy me. And the prices aren't competitive at all. Still good for board games and often has 3 for 2 on different brands.

There is easy parking and the store is really easy to navigate. Staff are friendly and helpful and are also very informative on the products on offer. Not the cheapest toy store in town when you have Tesco's Homebase and the entertainer nearby. They also seem to not have everything in stock and tend to sell out of all the newest and most wanted toys so quickly and take ages to get stock back in.
