Oklahoma

74-76 High Street

If a giant piñata were to explode in, the results might resemble Oklahoma. Defying categorisation, this airy, wooden-floored shop-cum-café stocks the best selection of retro and quirky cards in town alongside bizarre and amusing cheap gifts, imported and designer homeware and a healthy dose of kitsch. If you’re after Virgin Mary charm bracelets, or magic trees, you’re in the right place. If you’d rather buy a subtitled Korean DVD and eat vegetarian chilli washed down with a banana smoothie, you’re also catered for. Anyone who dares to leave this place disappointed is a joyless soul indeed.
