I placed an online order for Shea butter on the evening of 27/2/2019. I was really impressed with the speed of confirmation on postage. I received my package at 8.55am today 1/3/19. Super pleased with service. Bree
A little dearer than most book shops but this is because it caters to ethnic minorities; specifically of African descent. The products help to promote self love and confidence in young black girls through books thay celebrate black hair in its natural form. They also stock black dolls, which are not seen much in toy stores and supermarkets so it's refreshing to see. It's a shame there's only one shop but there's definitely criteria for business expansion. I've already bought things for my cousins' children as I feel it's important to make them feel confortable in their skin (and hair) and to also support black business.
My bookbasket has a variety of books and health products that cater for young and old. Sis Valentina will do best to find books if not in stock. I have brought books and gifts for family and friends. This is a very community focused shop. I love that local businesses are supported too. Products are at an affordable price which enables everyone to buy something. Keep up the great work. Most high and ancestors guidance love and light. Give ThAnkhs.
A good range of natural products, interesting books for both adults and children and some beautiful pieces of art and jewellery. The lady who runs the shop is also very nice. I have had a good experience every time I visit this shop and I'm looking forward to my next visit :)
