British Heart Foundation

Well well well, Cross Gates. It seems as though we are going to have to make friends, no? What with your array of charity shop delights along one small street! Yep, and the British Heart Foundation is another of many which pleased me so greatly on my premier trip to Cross Gates of Leeds.
The store itself was nicely tidy and easy to browse, with the exception of some of the clothes near the window. All the size 8s were packed virtually behind their window display and behind where the door needed to open so that was a bit tricksy for me to get in there! Nevertheless, as a hardened charity shopper I was determined to browse, and browse I did!
One of the main featured bargains seemed to be their many luggage holders, suitcases and the like, all on display at cheaper (by a few pounds at least) than Priceless Shoes just nearby. So cheap, it seems, that one was snapped up even as I browsed! They had the standard gemstone jewellery on display too — something unique to BHF as I’ve seen a few with this, which is lovely too. They’ve all kinds of different gemstone necklaces and other bits in rose quartz, amethyst and more!
Their other main feature seemed to be a pretty substantial shoe display, again potentially to compete with Priceless Shoes, and there was certainly a good range on show! Other cool oddments, such as decent mirrors, books, wedding hats and so on, were available too. I went away really pleased having found myself a pure silk Jaeger long suit jacket — which is utterly gorgeous — for only £4.50. Bargains ahoy! Staff were totally lovely too. Bonus!
