Does anyone know any High Street shop that stocks Cath Kidston stuff? My SIL wants something CK for Christmas but I'm balking at £5 postage!

TIA!

debenhams do cath kidson hand cream. soaps etc

walkinginawinterBundleland · 18/12/2007 13:01

they have ck-esque mugs in john lewis for under a tenner

Anna8888 · 18/12/2007 13:02

Department stores stock CK, though not generally the full range of products.

Try Fenwicks for bed and bath linen etc.

MerryAnnSinglemas · 18/12/2007 13:02

Waitrose do

Lauriefairycake · 18/12/2007 13:03

Anywhere near Bicester shopping village? There's a shop there.

Lovely stuff

Tamum · 18/12/2007 13:03

Our John Lewis has mugs, candles, soaps that kind of thing. We also have an actual High Street Cath Kidston shop

MerryAnnSinglemas · 18/12/2007 13:04

Cath Kidston is a bit of a ripoff though

Waitrose have some really nice little sets of handcream and shower gel and that sort of stuff. V pretty, but a bit pricy!

Am in Exeter. (Agree MerryAnn, but it was SIL's request, and I did ask...! Was quite surprised actually, wouldn't have picked her for it.)

oh tamum have just looked on website
cannot believe i ws completely unaware of this fact

MerryAnnSinglemas · 18/12/2007 13:08

trouble is,CK things are really nice - I just feel that we're being taken advantage of in our need for nostalgic fancies (says the woman with the entirely unneccesary CK wash mitt and ironing board cover !)

Tamum · 18/12/2007 13:10

Ha, you beat me to it naily- I only noticed it a few weeks ago, I can not believe how much George St has improved in the last 10 or so years!

paulaplumpbottom · 18/12/2007 13:11

Sadley not many boutiques in Exeter. There was one I looked in but it only had a strange array of things, either really expensive single items or cheaper single items that didn't go together, IYKWIM.

They had some Cath Kidston in a shop in Lyme Regis in the summer, I am sure. Don't know whether the shops all open in winter though?

BrightBaublesBeetroot · 18/12/2007 13:41

Bath has a CK shop

SheherazadetheSwedishjulbok · 18/12/2007 14:06

i got some ck bed linen in tk max and they always have the strangely over priced tins and mugs.

MummyDarlingSausage · 18/12/2007 17:45

They have CK stuff in Orange Tree Interiors in Exeter (near Neals Yard) and also at Darts Farm near Topsham (inbetween the fish and chips and the toy bit!) both have cheaper stuff (wash bags/flannels etc)

Hulababy · 18/12/2007 17:46

Waitrose have Cath Kidston smellies - got some for DD's school teacher
