Frances Pilley is the ultimate gift shop for someone who likes things that smells nice. The shop just smells so good, it’s hard to tell exactly what is evoking that divine sense. But that is the fun part, walking around the shop examining all the products is exciting and almost therapeutic. products range from candles and bath products to some beautiful homewares like the hamman bath towels. I am overwhelmed by the range, my nose loves going on overdrive here, and there is something for everyone. Scents range from vanilla to black pepper, sweet pea to lemongrass. There’s even the scent-less crystal deodorant(very intriguing). Gift wrapping is complementary, and even if you are not buying a gift, get it gift wrapped anyway ;)

More smelly stuff that you can poke a stick at. Candles, handcreams, soaps, body lotions… nothing naff and all worthy options when buying a gift for your favourite person. The homewares are also worth a look at — cool throw rugs, pretty things for your couch and bed, and the last time I went Batik printing stamps that of course you’re never use but they look really cool on a mantelpiece.
