Wilkinson has a bit of everything under one roof… DIY, Homeware, Cards, Childrens Toys, Beauty and Cometics, Toiletries… really…it’s just a big bundle of organised chaos. I used to visit here when I was on my fashion design course, it was handy to pick up paints, pencils and even sewing kit accessories. My friend(who is 22) comes here to pick up spray paint for her sketch books regularly but was absolutely humiliated the other week when she was asked for ID for her pritt stick… as she didn’t have her ID she was forced to leave the store empty handed. The shame of it. She doesn’t look under 16 either… not even under 25 for that matter! Anyway, aside from that unfortunate incident, the shop has always worked well for me. It’s cheaper than shopping in a supermarket when it comes to buying toiletries and they stock main brands such as pantene and herbal essences so you know you’re still getting the quality.

Wilkinsons sells loads of cheap items for the home from toiletries and cleaning products to wallpaper and paint. The downstairs area sells the everyday stock, so cleaning products, cooking equipment, toiletries and stationery, and seasonal products so recently there has been Christmas stock and before that it was gardening equipment. Upstairs there is diy, electrical and decorating items as well as cushions, bed sheets and some furniture. A lot of the stock is really cheap even the big brand items in comparison to supermarkets and other high street shops but occassionally there is some stock that is not good quality. The store is tiny and the shelf are from floor to ceiling almost and very close together but unless it’s really busy it isn’t usually at issue. Wilkinson is great store to pick up all the odd bits and pieces you need at really low prices.

This Wilkinsons may appear quite small from the outside but as it has an upstairs as well the size isn’t quite that bad. They sell everything here from toiletries to stationary to household goods. They sell most things relatively cheap and affordable which is great if you are on a budget, which seeing as most of headingley are students most people are. I once decorated a bedroom for less than 10p thanks to these guys. cheers!

We like this Wilkos, despite its teeniness. It is well stocked, and the goth girl behind the till is super friendly. It’s always far cheaper for toiletries than Superdrug next door, and I bought my plates and that from here in the sale for 35p each(plain white, natch). Along with the usual paint, tools, bedding, garden stuff and stationery, they also sell fizzy pop, sweets and crisps, the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.
