Practical gifts in Manchester

“Lovely food and staff really enjoyed my full English veggie breakfast ..super impressed definitely visiting again..and the had my favourite brown sauce a must for me”

“I could not recommend this place enough! The experience was so refreshing. They provide great quality nails at a reasonable price and the vibe in the salon is very fun & comfortable. I couldn't be happier, see you guys soon :)”

“I had looked and rang around many groomers before booking in with smartbreeders, the lady I spoke to was very helpful and everything was covered on the call! I ended up taking her on a Saturday which was better for me but they aren't usually open weekends just that a girl had to make up a day! I’ve had my rescue zeena for 2 months now and had her groomed at pets at home first off but it was not a great experience, it was rushed, she was unfinished and I will not be returning again! The girl at smartbreeders was extremely helpful and profession, asked about zeena and what I want for her! I was worried as the previous groom said she screamed and didn’t like anything with the noise and had just had to do the best she could! Smartbreeders had her for around 3 hours so I went off to do some errand! They done exactly what I had asked for and she came out happy and looking beautiful! The girl even text me to tell me how she was and that she was doing great and to pick up whenever! I highly recommend them! Although it is across manchester 30 mins away and only weekdays I will definitely be using them going forward and will work around it! I will recommend to everyone! See for yourself!!”

“Fantastic place for home lighting & furniture, always adding new stock each month with friendly customer service.”

“Great flowers, friendly people, but be warned its actually at the end of lime road (like the address that they provide) , not on Vernon or Melfort (which is where google maps tries to send you).”

“We visited Baby Loves after seeing great recommendations a few months into our pregnancy and placed an order of the Bugaboo Donkey 5. The customer service throughout and since has been incredible from the owners taking their time to respond to emails whilst away on their honeymoon to being so accommodating with our girls being born early and having to reschedule things. We have been kept in contact with the whole process and all at Baby Loves have been so compassionate to our situation it’s made our journey that little bit easier. We cannot wait to put it to use with our little ladies. Thankyou again to all at Baby Loves, we highly recommend - Ryan, Holly, Florence & Willow”

“Always enjoy going to the Beauty Pad . Excellent and professional service eveytime .The girls are so friendly. Especially Sarah who goes above and beyond.”

“I had a Reiki session as well as a Swedish back massage and a facial treatment with Simone and all were absolutely amazing. I would add that it was the best facial treatment I've ever had. Simone is lovely, very caring and makes your home as a spa. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. I am looking forward to another treatment with her.”

“First time visiting Tiny's. A warm and welcoming atmosphere with great services and personalised wash and cut by Chip. Clearly knows what she is talking about as she made some recommendations to my style (which has been the same for over 10 years). Look forward to visiting again very soon!”

“Local, traditional really lovely lady running it who will do everything she can to help. Small but has everything you can imagine for animals especially horses, rabbits, wild birds and the BEST quality at reasonable prices. Pop in see for yourself!”

“We had a fantastic experience with The Silver Sisters. Lovely workshop environment and easy to follow instruction. We were taken through each step thoroughly and it was made very easy for us to trust the process of silver ring making. We were delighted with our finished rings. A fun experience and lifelong momento. Thank you.”

“This was the First time of me going into this hairdressers which I was recommended to try.I wanted hair up do for a night out.From start to finish the young lady was lovely.She did a fantastic job and I highly recommend.I will definitely be going back here”

“Love this hairdresser it’s just like going from home to home, staff are so friendly and do an amazing job in cutting and colour well done ladies x”

“Wonderful service from Jo, Bethy & Lydia. I visited H&H to get some jewellery re modelled and was guided through what could be done. I am so happy with the results. Bethy & Lydia were amazing when I then decided to get my ears pierced and the choice of jewellery is fabulous. Thank you ladies, I’ll definitely be back!”

“I’ve bought several items from Fox and the Bear, from crystals to cauldrons, and every order has been perfect. Everything is fairly priced, beautifully packaged, and you can really tell the ladies know their stuff. Highly recommended!”

“The bouquets at Clocktower Florist are absolutely stunning! The service is excellent - friendly, helpful, and professional. You can really feel the passion they put into their work. Highly recommended!”

“The first time we have had a Christmas tree from Green & Grounded… It has been superb, and held its needles. The friendly help in choosing the right one and the happy prompt delivery service. All in all a fantastic shopping experience.”

“My first ever tattoo was here and I've been coming back ever since. Multiple talented artists housed in a clean and welcoming studio. I've reccomended Dale Sarok in particular to multiple family and friends. Highly endorsed, whether you're covered or have never got a tattoo before!”

“My son is on the spectrum and used to have long hair as he couldn't stand to be touched on his head to have it cut, we tried a few places and he'd become really distressed and anxious, so we left it. Then when he was 5 he decided on his own that he wanted to have shorter hair so we decided to try here (altrincham branch) based on positive reviews and a recommendation from someone at my sons school. He loves it, he's been visiting here for about a year now. He has Chelsea to cut his hair and he really likes her, she's patient with him and respects his sensory boundaries, she makes him feel listened to, he loves how she uses praise led encouragement and calls him a superstar and a funny bunny. He looks forward to coming for his hair cut now and calls it time to visit his friend Chelsea! It's a bit of a journey in for us, about an hour if there's bad traffic (and traffic CAN be tricky on washway road sometimes) but we consider it to be worth it due to the positive experience had upon arrival. I can't stress enough how distressing haircuts were for him prior to finding this place and we gave up completely because it would always end in screaming, panicked, anxious sobbing. But once he had made up his own mind that he wanted to try a proper haircut - I couldn't recommend here enough as a perfect starting point to begin your child's haircutting journey/experience.”

“Absolutely lovely. A real find tucked away in the centre of Shoreheath. Lovely staff and great food. Perfect. x”

“I've been going here for over a year now. Steve is such a good barber. Highly recommend to all. If you need your haircut, beard trimmed, or even a fresh groom, this is the place to go. Best Barber in Town. Never go anywhere else - Joel”

“Amazing staff, especially Lynne who assisted me during the visit. Massive thank you.”

“Very friendly staff great stylists”

“Excellent for supplying drinks for large events. Accommodating tasting service and advice to determine what you want, an unbeatable selection of wines and beers, and they even allow you to return any untouched excess beer boxes/wine bottles.”

“Great vibe, great value & great food!.....everything we had was very tasty. Oh and great service (with a smile!) by Millie. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

“Went with my wife and daughter for the first time on Sunday. We had scollops and gnocchi followed by pork loin and asparagus risotto. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Would give it 5+ stars”
