Cheap but decent and original shops in Edinburgh?

Question

Hi, my and my friend are going shopping to buy a birthday present for our 13 year old friend. We want decent, original stuff that isn't too expensive. Perhaps just having an original design or some really cool, strange thing that you don't know what it is at first.

Also, can anyone give an overview of what kind of stuff Paper Tiger sells and the price range?

Thanks xx

Answer 1

No idea what she's into but for original stuff try 'Mad Jacks' on Leith Walk (opposite the big youth hostel on Elm Row) or a shop that is up Cockburn street -forget the name but it's on the right hand side as you come downhill from the Royal Mile.
