I usually like to stop by shops that look interesting on the outside, and have an intriguing name. I was across the street when I saw this shop and thought, «Yummies? What’s that? And, ooh, such pretty colors.» So I decided to walk in. It’s a shop that sells clothing for babies and children. When I found that out, it became obvious that I had no business being in here. But I still browsed around, and saw some clothing that I wouldn’t have minded wearing when I was a toddler. In addition to clothing, they sell toys, stuffed animals, trinkets, that sort of thing. The quality of the toys(and the clothing for that matter) was top-notch, albeit a little pricey.

Brighton, especially the North Laine and George Street in Hove, is full of shops like this. And you’ll see why when walking around Brighton, where there is many a yummy mummy wielding her state of the art push chair, with her croc-clad kiddies. Shops like Yummies seem ridiculously overpriced to me, but maybe if they ever became more relevant I’d be prepared to overlook that. All in all I can’t be critical of this shop as there are some gorgeous colourful cuddly looking outfits that I’m sure I’d be cooing all over if I had someone to give them to. And the staff certainly put a lot of effort into giving this place a sort of magical charm — I’d definitely love it if I was 3 years old!

I think Yummies is a great name for a baby-themed shop. It did, indeed offer an assortment of non-edible yummies… Things I’ll be picking up before Christmas to send to my little nephew in Canada. Baby clothing and many of the toys were made from 100% organic fabrics — wool, cotton and even bamboo. Yummies also sells washable nappies and staff are willing to answer questions regarding use and care. Décor for baby rooms included various trinkets(wooden ones were usually bamboo) and unique, multi-coloured mobiles. Other unique gift ideas included children’s world music CDs and personalised lullaby CDs. For parents who’ve chosen a less popular baby name, these can be ordered from Yummies staff. However, by the end of the afternoon’s perusal, I was leaning toward some knit booties and matching trousers — made from natural, organic cotton, of course.

Not having any kids or maternal yearnings, I rarely have a reason to shop at baby and toddler outlets. If I did though, I’d probably spend quite a lot of time in Yummies. The board outside invites you to ‘Follow the trail of magic and sparkle’ an the staff seem to genuinely like children. Always a bonus, I know! Aimed at babies, toddlers, pre-school and youngsters, they sell dolls, wooden toys, building blocks, mobiles and blankets as well as cute and colourful baby grows, trousers, tees, jumpers and winter warmers. Wait! Did I just say ‘cute and colourful’ in reference to kids! Damn. Maybe that clock has just started ticking…
