Claire's

Girls absolutely adore this store and they are very reasonably priced. They always seem to have offers on and do stock a nice range of earrings and accessories. Tend to have a good range of high school musical and Hannah montanna accessories at a good price.


They stock a great range of hair accessories, ranging from those aimed at kids right up to ones adults can easily wear at work or on a night out.

The give away is in the name, this shop sells every kind of accessory, not just for 'Claire' but for all girls. Imagine walking into Cher from Clueless' bedroom and this is what you'd find in her jewellry box. They sell earings, belts, bracelets, hairbands, necklaces, bags, and beads among other things. Mainly they stock costume jewellery which is cheap and cheerful and won't cause too much grief if it gets lost. This is also a great shop to visit if you're dressing up, they have feather boas, facepaint and packs for hen parties. The perfect place to play dressing up.

The perfect place for young girls, they sell hair bands, jewellery, bags, make-up, wigs, nail varnish even lucky bags.
They also have some really good sales where you can pick up loads of bargins.
The earings and necklaces are perfect for a night out to dress up an outfit.
I do find these shops are very overstocked and difficult to get around as there seems to be stock every where, i would not recommend it if you have a little one in a pushchair

This ia a great place for 'tweens' (not quite teenagers, but not little girls anymore) to some and pick up cheap jewellery, makeups, bags, hats and all sorts of accessories - all at very reasonable 'pocket money' prices.


The quality isn't particularly great, but fo rthe girl who just wants to make herself look pretty, its brill.


I have been known to visit Claire's a number of times when looking for a specific item or accessory, and having exhausted everywhere else, and I have been pleasantly surprised on a number of occasions to find exactly what Im looking for in Claire's at half the price - so don't totally rule it out as a kids shop.

Loved this place as a child, perhaps a little too grown up for it now. Nice bits and pieces for fancy dress!

Claires is the ultimate place for jewellery or hair accessories. They stock every colour jewellery imaginable, and sell things including hairclips, earrings, purses, little trinket-type stuff, hairbands, belts, bead necklaces and handbags. They also offer an ear-piecing service that looks quite painless. Some of the jewelery sets look quite good as gifts for birthday/christmas for any young (or old) girl.
The only downside is the store is quite small, so it can get a bit difficult seeing things at time. Also, they have little items such as nail files, calculators, etc. that staff try to tempt you with by saying it is only £1. Normally, if you just say no thank-you, they are ok about it, but if you have kids with you, you end up buying it because of being pestered for it. I think the store know this, and try to play on it.

The shop has every type and style of jewellery to suit everyone's needs as well as ear piercing. A shop strictly for women/girls only! The prices are usually quite reasonable but some things can sometimes be quite expensive. There are usually sales/deals on though and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
