TEA TIME
Have you discovered Søstrene Grene, a new treasure trove of Scandinavian charm in Tunbridge Well’s Royal Victoria Place shopping centre? It’s full of stylish, creative and affordable homewares. Their delicate tulip mug is a standout – a beautifully simple piece that’s perfect for Mum’s morning brew. Pair it with a box of her favourite tea or some pretty tableware, also available in store.
PLANT POWER

From cuddly Jellycat plushies and lush houseplants to beautifully crafted cards, scented candles, and unique décor pieces, there’s something to suit every style.
PERFECT POUCH
Spring has sprung at Anthropologie, making it the perfect place to pick up a Mother’s Day gift with a pop of colour. This season’s collection is bringing in the sunshine with some sumptuous throws and scatter cushions, colourful stand-out crockery and bright statement jewellery. We love this pretty pouch from Elizabeth Scarlett.

The store is always brimming with a carefully curated collection of cool fashion brands, stylish accessories, and trend-savvy trainers (we love the above from Another Trend). It’s impossible to leave empty-handed (can’t be just us?)
