British Red Cross Society

I do love a charity shop! And this one is a serious contender for my favourite in Stirling. The staff are really friendly and helpful and they always have a great range of stock and cracking window displays! I’m a sucker for a vintage section so you’ll usually find me snooping about that corner of the shop, amidst all manner of quirky vintage attire.
I’m usually not one for the Bric a Brac section in charity shops but I’ve found quite a few gems in here. Most recently, I was taken by a little oriental bowl (which I use for rock salt in the kitchen!) and a cute vintage perfume dispenser with a little pump. They were both a heck of a bargain at £1 for the bowl and £2 for the perfume pump! Even better, they had a sale on. — Everything was 3 for 2! I also bought a lovely vintage shirt which meant I got the bowl for free. Result!
They often get old stock from retail stores, most commonly H&M. It’s great that you can get these clothes, unworn, for a fraction of their retail price. The only thing I would say is that, for me, this takes away the one thing I love most about charity shopping! — The fact that you’ll never know who wore the garment before you or where it came from. I just love the real mystery of never knowing what you might find and imagining just who the items belonged to previously! Because of these donations, there are often many duplicates in the store and they are usually there for quite some time. I don’t think I’ve ever bought one of these garments as I usually head straight on over to the vintage clothing. Nonetheless, this is a brilliant shop and one of the places I always visit when I’m in town. Something usually always catches my eye and it’s one of the more reasonably priced charity shops.
An added bonus is that British Cross have a ‘Give & Gain’ loyalty card meaning you can save up points for discount vouchers or donate your points to British Red Cross projects.
Charity shops have never been cooler.
Go forth and spend!
