Bath with teenagers - cute shops?

Looking to book a weekend in Bath with teenage girls. What’s the shopping like? We don’t have loads of cash so not interested in the designer shops - I was wondering more about the cutesie gift and crystal type shops that teenage girls love and don’t cost the earth. Are they plentiful in Bath? Is there a particular street we should head for?

There's lots of nice shops in Bath. On Milsom Street and towards the cathedral in an area that is all still quite new. The city centre is quite small so you can walk around and you'll easily find everything.

The girls may also like "sweet little things" for an afternoon treat which is a pretty little cake shop at the bottom of milsom street.

There's also a really good mini golf in Victoria park which is a few minutes walk from Milsom street.

Go to Tealith - best bubble tea in the UK according to DD!

There are quite a few gift shops dotted around, the main areas to head for would be Milsom St and the network of little lanes near the Abbey. The Guildhall Market has some quirky shops too. At the weekend there are usually a few market stalls on Stall St including one that sells gems and crystals.

Are they Bridgerton fans? We did a self-guided Bridgerton tour in Bath which my teens loved.

My daughter (17 when we went) did well from the several charity shops there! Of course we did the cathedral and Baths and had fun spotting all the Bridgerton scenes (the Holbourne museum, for example, the exterior is the house of Lady Danbury, as well as Steyne's mansion in Vanity Fair and also featured in The Duchess starring Keira Knightly). It's worth a visit in its own right aside from its cinematic connections!
We also stopped at a really nice café on the Pultenay Bridge, but there are several.
Just meander about! Every corner looks like a film set.

My daughter is 17 and is going to university in Bath in September. There are loads of lovely shops and she loves the charity shops when we have visited.
We did a mystery guide www.mysteryguides.co.uk/ which we all enjoyed. A good way to explore Bath.

There's a fab vintage costume jewellery stall in an indoor market in the city centre - absolutely stuffed with things, and not too expensive.
