Lovely website and easy to navigate to the area (books) that I wanted, though they have so much more to look on offer.
Easy to place my order and including the weekend took 4 days for my order to arrive. I have also as a bonus received points which add up to savings on later spends, can’t be bad. Will definitely be using them again.

Super quality baby grows

Super shop on the seafront at Whitley Bay. I always buy my cards here for people around the country and I recently bought two baby grows which are fabulous quality. Thank you very much.

The North East abroad

I bought two tea towels for a friend who is moving to Cyprus, we have both moved away from the North East with work but love our home town. The quality is excellent and more importantly she loved them!

Easy to navigate the website

Easy to navigate the website. It was a bit confusing as to the quantities of the coasters as the site said a set of coasters when it was just 1.
