I was quite taken with Flux.\n\nWith its airy fairy fronting and gift shop kitsch appeal, it stands out in an area lacking in shops of this variety. Although they are more common uptown, Flux is a saving grace for presents down at this end of Leith, where the shops otherwise consist of Homebase or the Ocean Terminal.\n\nIt sells some lovely, cute toys designed for children, but what strikes me most of all is its ethical stock collection. There are recycled products to be found in here, including new and ingenius creations made out of glass and old wood. A lot of the designers showcased in here are locals, and they have contributed to everything, from homewares to jewellery. Speaking of, the jewellery in here was delicate, ornate and had bespoke qualities, and a large quantity of Flux's ranges were made in sunny Scotland! \n\nQuirky, contemporary but quaint in its own unique way, Flux offer you something a little bit different from Scotland. Great for visitors who want to bring something beautiful and unusual back home, and equally as handy for locals looking for a high end present, Flux should be the first stop for people with expensive - but good - taste.
