Shopping in Edinburgh doesn't have to break the bank!

If there's one thing Edinburgh certainly is not lacking, it's shops! In the city centre alone, there's all the main locations such as Princes Street, St James Quarter, Waverley Mall, and the Royal Mile.

Scattered between the big-name brands, designers and boutiques, you'll find so many smaller, independent shops and retailers - where there's something to suit just about every budget!

Here at Edinburgh Reviews, sometimes we cover shops that have just recently opened, or have held events - and sometimes you'll discover some amazing local deals.

Review: Smugglers Spirit’s Gin Baubles

December 11, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Six gin-filled baubles to enhance any Christmas tree, which works as either a treat for yourself or a great and novel gift idea. The timing isn’t easy, though; someone must decide when to drink the tree.

June 16, 2023 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Attention all artists, makers and creatives! Cass Art is now open in Edinburgh, and you can take advantage of some pretty hefty opening discounts right now! Which, of course, meant I had to get my ass over to George Street ASAP for a review! I knew Cass Art were coming to Edinburgh – I’d walked […]

Review: Can this Edinburgh Blogger Get a Much-Needed Energy Boost with Sneak?

June 13, 2023 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Sneak have been turning heads recently, and they certainly got our attention here at Edinburgh Reviews, which is why I agreed to review a sample of their blue raspberry cans. Energy drinks haven’t always been my cup of tea (because let’s face it, tea is my cup of tea) – as they have, in the past, […]

A review of The Gull’s Grocery, a zero-waste grocery in Leith

February 11, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A helpful, conveniently located and generously priced community zero-waste shop. There’s more than food available here, as there are kitchen and bathroom supplies too. The Gull’s makes Edinburgh better with great charity efforts and resources.

Competition: alistondesigns keyrings

Hello, hello. This isn’t a review. This is a competition to giveaway some alistondesigns keyrings. I bought two when Amy had a stall at Moonwake Beer’s autumn market.

A review of WeeKett: The smart kettle

June 12, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A kettle that can be easily configured to heat water precisely, remotely and then stays warm is really handy. A “smart kettle” sounds like a luxury and perhaps pointless item, but it really isn’t! I’ve found the WeeKett to be a handy timesaver, and I’ve not even had it winter yet.
