Children's toys and clothes

For the children in your family, our shop in Brightlingsea has half of its space dedicated to children’s items, ranging from an endless selection of toys, to clothes priced as little as £1. You can also find a range of board games to keep the family entertained on Christmas day whilst you wait for your dinner to cook.

Gift sets on a table

Self-care and wellbeing is extremely important, so these gift sets filled with items to pamper yourself are a brilliant way to treat someone this Christmas. Filled with a range of toiletries, home goods and more, they’re ideal if you’re not quite sure what to get someone or just in need of a stocking filler.

Our shops are always filled with great reads that are perfect for the book lover in your life. For a specialised selection of books, visit our Frinton shop which is filled with every genre you can think of, or alternatively our Brightlingsea shop is home to some children’s books ideal to encourage your little ones to read.

Buying for someone who loves to plan and stay organised - why not pick up a 2022 diary in one of our shops? This stationary set we found in our Brightlingsea shop would also be a great gift idea for someone studying.

You can’t go wrong with a new jumper or coat, especially at this time of year and with most of our shops filled with a wide choice of clothing, there’s something for everyone.
