Top 30 Best Gift items in Manchester

“Ordered an IWC watch from Mark Worthington Jewellers the day before New Years Eve - and it was posted the same day! Now that’s service, especially when most of us were preparing for Hogmanay! The watch arrived 2 hours ahead of the promised time today, 04 Jan ‘23, and on unboxing (very well wrapped), the watch was actually in better condition than I had expected and as described. Needless to say, I’m delighted and can certainly recommend this Jeweller. On another note, the communications from Harley at Mark Worthington, were excellent and very friendly. Top notch and I’ll be happy to buy again from this retailer.”

“I have had the most wonderful experience dealing with Debbie and Anthony Bean. Being a privately owned business you get a total service from start to finish. I have just had my 4ct Engagement Ring remodelled with ORB, Lymm. Anthony firstly designed the new ring on a CAD machine which was a perfect way to get every aspect of the design perfect. Making everything inhouse, I had piece of mind from start to finish. My new ring is totally exquisite, I have never been happier. I can not thank you both enough for creating such a magical ring. I will not hesitate to let friends and family know about your wonderful service and of course return myself. I highly recommend this gem of a workshop/jewellers. It is so rare these days you have a total service under one roof. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I wish you both a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Victoria Morris”

“Made a beautiful bouquet that was to my budget. Really lovely and helpful people☺️”

“We live in the U.S., and have used Petite Fleur for years to deliver flowers to relatives in Prestwich. We appreciate their reliable service, timely delivery and especially their creativity. Their arrangements are always beautiful and fresh. We wouldn't use any other. Connie & Jeff”

“Some of the best takeaway food I have ever had! Different themes every week from Turkish mets to charcoal grilled spicy chicken with fresh incredible salads and sides. Well done fosters! get in there a try them.”

“Had a piece done by Harvey today, really impressed, great atmosphere in shop too. Been back 3 times now with Harvey, superb everytime, manager super friendly too, very chatty, all in all a top experience every time”

“Visited Moda twice this week. On both occasions we we're welcomed with a smile from the friendly staff. It's a modern stylish and spotlessly clean restaurant with exceptional levels of service and food quality. If you're having breakfast go hungry as portions are very generous.”

“Lamb dish was tender and spicy and vegetarian dishes equally tasty. Piping hot when it arrived within 45 mins of ordering. We never buy takeouts tbh, but would order from here again.”

“Great pub. Open mic night every other Wednesday night. Really relaxed atmosphere and friendly people! Made me feel very welcome.”

“Excellent service in the shop even at high volume times. Although the shop is small its very well organised and the staff really know thier product. The website is a great addition, really user friendly and simple to navigate around. We ordered to pick up from the shop just before the schools went back so right in the middle of the mad uniform rush with no delay to the order being ready.”

“Well I love this place. Food was brilliant if a little expensive and it took a while to arrive as it was really busy. Mix up over the drinks was put right soon enough. The cafe has been taken over by the shop co-located with it. Results are great. Staff were lovely and they also have raised over £1000 for the victims of recent terror attacks.”

“I'm sorry but I'm bias on this one I've enjoyed Rhode island with my family and friends and still do staff are friendly and quick but it's a popular place and that makes it busy over all I love it”

“Ordered this breakfast platter and it was plenty of food for two! Really generous portions and best surprise was that it was all sitting on a bed of chips! Who can say no to egg and chips! Best Halal breakfast I have ever had!”

“Lovely staff. The coffee is lovely and very quick. No plastic cutlery, all recyclable wood. If the benches outside are wet they will cheerfully provide a dry sheet of cardboard or a plastic bag to sit on. Sausages cooked to order for your dog. They like dogs!”

“Tasty menu and a lovely setting! The staff and volunteers are excellent at what they do and are so friendly and welcoming.”

“Love this place. Always special. My daughter and partner took me for a belated Mother's Day treat for lunch. Food was lovely. Impeccable service. Lovely atmosphere.”

“Excellent location to Have a Coffe and Read a book... Quite busy but... Still good”

“Probably my favourite coffee place in Manchester. The staff is friendly, great location (literally in the middle of everything but at the same time, very calm spot). Coffee is great (iced spanish latte is amazing) and the sandwiches are fantastic!”

“Absolutely amazing. I don't know of a comparable bakery in the Brooklyn New York metro where I live. I had the twist and the cinnamon bun.”

“The Fee Good Club came recommended by a friend who lives in Manchester and it lived up to its hype. I immorally felt comfortable when I walked in. The waitress greeted me and told me to sit anywhere. The space is super open with lots of tables. Perfect if you want to spend the day working. There are also window benches that looked super comfortable and cozy. I ordered the Meat Breakfast and a flat white (pictured) and it was one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in the uk. The portion was very generous, and unlike a lot of places they were not afraid of spices and seasoning. As I was leaving I noticed they had a small shop in the corner and couldn’t help but buy a really cool bucket hat (I was also tempted to get one of their Bags). It’s owned by a lesbian couple which made me feel instantly welcomed as an lgbtq person. They also have a large following on social media where they post feel good content! Highly recommend you stop here if you’re visiting Manchester!”

“Grabbed a quick vegan sandwich and chai tea for lunch. The sandwich was fresh and the chai tea good. There was a funny poll at the till.”

“Great shop with a good variety of stock and lovely staff.”

“Great place for good wine, but perhaps more importantly great service. The food - meats and cheese boards - is well worth a try. The produce they use is of good quality.”

“Love the Toy House, we've been coming since my twins were tiny to both the twins group and the stay and play. It's such a supportive, friendly welcoming and fun group for both me and the children. Love it so much, couldn't recommend it more xxx”

“Amazing staff really look after and pamper you while you wait very friendly and I will definitely going back in the future”

“I live in North Manchester and been to both of Paul's shops to have jewelery made, he is the only person I would go to, myself, my daughter and son have all had rings made for their weddings, engagement and wedding. His work is brill and bespoke, nothing is a problem. Today I called to have my and my sons wedding rings made smaller as usual done and collected same day after a bit of lunch, also Paul cleaned my other rings. I would and do recommend him to everyone I know. Thanks for 5 star service as usual.”

“Really friendly and helpful staff. Some lovely pieces of interesting and unusual jewellery. Certainly worth a visit.”

“My boyfriend ordered this absolutely stunning bouquet from moss and maple for my Birthday which gave me 3 weeks of pure joy every time i walked into the room! I have never seen such beautiful two toned roses before! I would highly recommend.”

“Wow super impressed with this florist, I haven't seen my sister for 2 years due to covid, I found this place on the internet as it was close to where my sister is ♥️Straight away the lady who answered the phone was super super nice, helped me and after seeing the most beautiful bunch of flowers they have sent to my sister I am super happy. Thank you so much, 100% definitely recommend this place for flowers xx”
