Total waste of money doesn’t even…

Total waste of money doesn’t even include a high chair when you purchase the bundle. You could get what I received online for £10 yet I paid over £50 for some stickers and a plank of wood! Best part is I waited over 3 weeks for that! I certainly wouldn’t recommend!

***Please remove this post***The product you are reviewing has nothing to do with the company cove which is an independent gift shop in Edinburgh. We only sell beautifully made, lovely gifts - jewellery, candles, scarves, cards etc but certainly no high chairs.

Happy regular Cove customer

I’m a regular customer at Cove, it’s perfect for picking up gifts for all ages. From a brilliant range of sweet Jellycat toys, well-chosen little games and books to gorgeous candles and homewares. Stock changes regularly so always new discoveries and lots of temptations for treating yourself too.

Treasure Trove !

Cove is a real treasure trove in the heart of Porty. With an amazing range of beautiful gifts , you will always find something a little bit different. There seems to be new stock every time I go in! Libby and her team are extremely welcoming ( to dogs as well) and happy to advise if required. It’s great to see there is now a website with additional stock that is not sold in the shop.

My favourite gift shop!

I've shopped at Cove for years so I'm super excited that there's now a website. I love the range of gifts - I can always find something to suit the person I'm buying for. There's lots that's been made by small producers too. The customer service is great and the staff are super friendly. I've ordered online, and my order was delivered really quickly.
