Just For You

It’s happened to all of us– you realise it is Auntie Joan’s birthday, or a mate has a baby or the kids announce there is an unexpected party to go to and the thought of trailing into town fills you with dread.
Well fear no more, problems always solved here. They have a great selection of cards and gifts for all occasions and little nic naks like picture frames and mugs, bags and books to cover most emergency gift situations. You can park outside and it won’t break the bank, bingo!
They also have additional space upstairs with seasonal stuff and party requirements, as you probably think you have birthday candles somewhere, but you don’t. ;-)

This is the third gift shop on the Belmont Road that differs enough from the other two to provide a good complement of things to choose from. It is a while since I have seen silver christening cups in the old fashioned design of a little beer tankard with a handle but noticed them in Just for You. Other stock includes quite a few other christening and other special commemorative children’s gifts, birthday presents and plenty of greetings cards, scented bath stuff and candles. A good selection of chunky and affordable jewellery was another thing I particularly noticed along with attractive tea cosies and mugs. In short there plenty of tastefully chosen items here, but, as so often the case with gift shops, you need to visit several times to fully appreciate the range of things on offer. I can’t say the service was particularly out of the ordinary, though there’s nothing wrong with being given peace to browse undisturbed.

Just For You has been on the Belmont Road for absolute donkeys (since 1985 apparently), and is still going strong. It’s wide variety of cards, gifts and stationery make it an invaluable outlet for birthdays /​Christmas /​other occasions.
I have fond memories of coming in when I was a kid, and my mum searching through the masses of cards ’til she found the perfect one. Now I’ve started doing the same thing (yikes), and find Just For You a wonderfully tranquil setting for doing so. The staff are friendly and laid-​back, and you can really take your time gazing at the vast array of beautiful gifts. Among my favourites are the cute mini novel clocks which come in the form of pianos, golf bags, animals and the like, as well as the Bridgewater Candles which smell simply delicious.
The best bit, however, is the hidden section upstairs, containing Fiorelli handbags, Disney figurines, gorgeous furniture, tapestries and luxurious scarves. At Christmas time, this area is buzzing with Christmas gifts, ornaments and decorations… it really is like Santa’s grotto, exuding such a lovely cosy atmosphere.
In fact, the whole shop really is very comfortable and intimate all year round, making for a truly lovely shopping experience. Just For You of course…
