Favourite shops, online and off

I thought I'd start a thread where we can list our favourite places to buy simple things or things that should be simple and use it as a sort of reference guide.

My favourites for shoes, are moshulu, a small firm in Devon that make beautiful shoes for British shaped feet, they're a bit expensive, but they last a long time so are worth it. The other place I sometimes get shoes from is Hotter, mostly I get my walking boots from them as their shoes have gone a bit aggy, the boots are good as the womens sizes go up to an 8, they do wide fit too.

One of the shops I sometimes use for clothes is Laganlook.co.uk, mostly for tops as their trousers are about 3 or 4 inches to short for me

If I wanted wool for knitting or anything else I'd go to wool couture, pure wool and lovely colours, although they seem to do more crafty stuff than wool for clothes making, it's expensive, but lovely, another British company.

For bedding I'm a TKMAXXX girl, good quality cotton sheets, pillow slips and duvet covers at bargain prices, I have some pillow slips from them that are 100% cotton with a 500 thread count, they're so soft, they were only £7:99 a pair.

  • I've never heard of Wish, but i can't be doing with Temu, half their stuff is totally different to how described and they dont' care, just tell you to keep it. So I have their crap to deal with and am still in need of the thing I needed to buy.

    I know this is a bit strange, but I've never bought anything from ebay, I've had a couple of things bought for me from there, but I find it a very unattractive and difficult site to use and another that dosen't give me the things I've asked for in a search.

    I've taken to using co-pilot as a search engine for things now, it's so much easier, I tell it what I'm looking for and it asks a few questions and then comes up with suggestion and places I'd never heard of and are probably on page one million and three on google. I then have to deal with the website though to buy something, which isn't always easy, it has also explained to me why I find internet shopping such a hostile environment, which confirmed what I though and why I keep getting airfryers and other things I don't want advertised at me and not what I searched for.
