Last week, someone donated a taxidermy squirrel holding a tiny teacup. No joke. It sat proudly next to a set of encyclopedias from 1985. Where else do you get that combo?
Another time, a giant plaster flamingo stood by the till. It had a price tag of £15. I almost bought it. My partner said no. I still think about that flamingo.
You want quirky? This place is quirky. It’s like rummaging through your eccentric gran’s attic. Except everything has a story—and a bargain price tag.
Why your wallet will thank you
New furniture from the high street? Rip-off. This store sells solid wooden tables for half the price. Some are antiques. Some are just old. But they last forever.
Need a bookshelf? Grab one for £25. A lamp? £8. A whole dining set? Maybe £100. Your bank account will do a little happy dance. And you get the smug satisfaction of saying, “I thrifted it.”
Plus, the BHF is a charity. Your cash fights heart disease. So you save money and you play superhero. Win-win, right?
