In the lull between Back to School season and what every good shopkeeper refers to as "The Holidays", we've been busy receiving new shipments, battling small mountains of brown boxes to get the goods into our displays and online for you to see and shop. Take a look at what's new.
Like everything in the shop, our displays are a mix of goodies for yourself and good gifts for friends. But which is which?
