The Pier

Yes, like a lot of people, I’m a Pier addict! If you’ve never visited one of these shops, be warned, you’ll be hooked! The Pier is full of unusual and ethnically inspiring goods from all around the world — from votive candles, to diningroom tables, wooden ornaments to curtains and bedcovers, there is all sorts to be found. A lot of their goodies are wooden, and the I adore the smell of this shop, it’s a welcoming mix of scented candles and wood. The Pier is not cheap, but I just save my pennies for something specific and treat myself again from this marvellous shop! The Pier travel the world in a bid for luxury products for us, but in the process have become aware of the poverty and suffering of so many children in countries everywhere, so they’ve been supporting Unicef for the last 15 years — it’s so nice to be able to treat myself and know I’m helping someone else, far across the earth.
