I love this store and team that work here and have been coming here since I moved to Stirling 10+ years ago. It's a small shop that sells such a wide variety of tasty and wholesome produce as well as essential vitamins, household and personal products. I try and do as much of my shopping here as I can. The online shop is such a great addition as well. The team that work here are always very friendly and helpful and go out their way to help you find what you are looking for. They also have a real interest and knoweldge of the products that they sell. Please support your local shop if you can.

First found this enchanting shop last year when I was up in Scotland from Wales Lisa the owner was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. She made the most beautiful lantern for my little granddaughters . Now it’s March 2020 and we have all been hit hard with this corona virus. ???? Unable to travel back up to this beautiful shop or more so unable to see my little granddaughters , I contacted Lisa to see if she could help me send some magic to cheer up both little ones Without hesitation Lisa was on the case along with her fairy ????????♀️ helpers . Two beautiful parcels where made up with a little message for each one . Parcels arrived today . They FaceTimed me as they opened them . The joy on their faces was magical . Even though the shop for now must stay closed. You can still order via website . Every one needs a little magic in their lives. More so at the moment . And Lisa has it in abundance ????????♀️????????♀️❤️ Grace Ps .. was only an option to award 5 stars but Lisa and Tinkerbell Emporium deserves much more x

This lovely shop sits in King Street in Stirling, its a proper little gem of a shop with lots of beautiful and unusual items. There is a very relaxed atmosphere and the staff are attentive but not pushy, I never felt pressured into buying anything( although I don't know how you would stop yourself) The manager was well informed and chatted away, she even recommended a lovely place for lunch. I will definitely be back:)

I had hired 6 sets if kilts and jackets for my wedding and from start to finish house of Henderson done a stand up job. From the fitting to handing the kilts back I was made welcome and comfortable. The kilts themselves were amazing and many compliments were given to me and the boys on the day. Thanks so much again for the amazing outfits for my wedding day
