Bought a few items, asked for a bag.Was told they only sell 1 pound bags, I said I wanted a normal plastic bag. Was told they don't sell them.I asked why they didn't sell them, I was told company policy.I said it was ripping off customers. I left without a bag.It wasn't the money, it was the principle.I will shop elsewhere until their 'company policy' stops ripping off shoppers

Have always loved this shop from first visiting Lakeside store many years ago. No matter where it is , if i pass one i simply have to pop in and browse but i love crafting and reading. Very very cheap and always some amazing deals instore which i dont find online.

This is an amazing shop to go into especially when you need pens, paints and other things very nice and friendly and polite and professional. It?s not that expensive in there like maybe it?s 3 or 5 but some things are 12 pound but it?s not like Claire?s where everything is like 12 pound and 15 pounds so that?s kinda ok.I think the big issue with this shop is that it?s so small that every time you go in there you either walk into something or someone or nock something over on the floor or the items are in the way I think the store needs to be a bit bigger in size. Apart from these things it?s a great shopI definitely recommend as the staff are nice and polite

I love the shop anyway for arts and crafts for my children but what I always find when I go into the shop in Basildon is that all of the staff are extremely helpful and go out of their way to assist which is rare and always means you leave the store feeling positive.

Fantastic, the best shop ever built or opened for over 200 years. I'm so pleased that you asked so I can say how great it is. The range is second to non. If ever I need to buy another 99p note book then I know where to go....... It's a bloody cheap book shop. Staff were great. All that I wanted was a cheap note book.... They had one. I bought it. So why the inquest.???

Love this place. Very friendly staff and affordable prices for pet foods and products. Not to mention exciting for my 2 little ones who love coming to see the horses and massive fishes in the pond.

Mish mash of books and crafting items. Everything is squashed together and really cramped. I don't stay in there long

Standard works, good value good range but looks like a jumble sale by mid afternoon. Staff can't keep on top of it and customers take through products

It is very fun to look around here and play or buy all the little gadgets and gizmos that they have to offer!
