What makes a shop like this great is the selection process. When you have a second hand shop people give you stuff constantly and most shops are too full, and most of the stuff is pretty average.
Rhubarb selects its stuff like a curator would select items for an exhibition. Everything in the shop is a gem in some way and the staff make you feel welcome to browse for as long as you like.
I went there to get some Xmas presents and it was the ideal place to get everything I needed. So much better than a gift shop or any other type of shop I could imagine for getting gifts.
Worth a detour. In fact, if you're getting the bus from Bristol Airport you can get off at the first stop and get here in a jiffy (just ask the driver for "North Street").
I’ve found some amazing dresses and jewellery and they also often have really interesting vintage furniture at great prices.
It was the first place I bought myself a house-warming gift of a lamp when I first moved to Bristol 8 years ago and it still sits happily on my bedside table. If you're unable to make it to the shop, be sure to check the website too!
