  • Name of Shop: The Bear Factory

    The Bear Factory is a chain of shops where you can create your own furry friend. You can choose an animal, give him a voice (even your own one) and choose the stuff it's filled with. After they stitch it for you and you get a birth cetrificate you choose an outfit for your friend. Obviously in times of war combat gear was very popular :(. I would have chosen an irish rugby shirt or a 70s style fur jacket though!

    What To Buy: Bears, Lambs, Rabbits, Dogs, Hippos, Cats, Monkeys etc

    What To Pay: Around £15.

    Lush: You smell it!

  • Name of Shop: Lush

    When you walk along an English street and suddenly there's this smell as if somebody near you is taking a bath: A Lush shop must be close to you! Follow the smell and you will be in my shopping paradise!

    What To Buy: Handmade natural soaps, shampoo bars, Ballistic Bath Bombs etc etc. Everything looks very nice and smells even better. Argh, I wish there was a Lush shop near where I live!

    What To Pay: A lot! Unfortunately Lush isn't exactly cheap. But as "the shampoo bars (~ £3) last longer than many relationships" (so they say!) you can find some good bargains. The bath bombs (~ £2) disappear within seconds though!
