Miam Miam

I’m an absolute sucker for gift shops and I love browsing round them looking for inspiration but I usually leave with something for myself than for someone else.
Miam Miam is an excellent little gift shop with quirky gifts, cards for all occasions and stationery all very well organised. Prices range from affordable to a bit pricier, but all gift shops are the same really and the stock here is really cute!
The staff are friendly and Miam Miam is definitely worth a look if you’re looking for a gift as they have a great selection of goodies.

A very cute gift shop, with adorable and quirky gift ideas.
However, as Emily T pointed out the price tags are quite high when you start considering the actual item on sale.
Still Miam Miam can be a saver when you are stuck on a present for someone that’s a bit more unique but not too crazy. When I came in here it was empty (coincidence or economic crisis effect?) but the staff are super friendly and I got a great card for my friends graduation.

There are a few really cute, quirky shops in Bruntsfield, and Miam Miam leads them all. It’s a really cute shop, selling really cool little bits and bobs and some furniture. It’s the sort of place you can happily browse and smile at all the things they sell — because that’s the most accurate description I can provide — it’s just things!
Yeah, it’s a really nice shop and the staff are lovely! But I begin to question my sanity when I’m considering buying a £25 pink polka-​dot tea cosy when a) I don’t drink tea and b) I don’t have a tea-​pot. Some of their stock does raise a few eyebrows, but hey, it’s fun I suppose. I’ve always said I would go back for Christmas shopping or for a birthday, but I always forget.

This is a very special little shop. You could be forgiven for thinking you’re in deepest Provence and not about to be blown away by the Edinburgh gales when you step back out the front door. You can tell that everything is chosen with great care from the French toiletries and gifts to the amazing, reasonably priced furniture. Every time I visit Scotland, this shop is my first stop. I always return South of the border with the most wonderful Miam Miam finds. I know that I will always find treasures there that I can’t find anywhere else. Each time I have visited the owner herself has been in the shop (All to uncommon these days) and she is always extremely charming and helpful. It’s one of those places I love so much that I’d quite like to keep it my own secret, but judging by how many people were packed into the shop when I visited last week, the secret’s out!

What a gorgeous shop. French-​style homewares would be the best way of describing this charming little place.
I popped in on the hunt for a birthday present and bought a gorgeous (reduced price) print. Which I might not be able to bring myself to give away when it comes to it.
But the shop has all kinds of lovely elegant homey things: clocks, picture frames, candles, a very beautiful mirror or two, posh French toiletries and the list goes on.
A great place for those wishing to create a slice of French life in auld reekie.
