Lilli Tulipan is set in a small courtyard off the main road. Before I even walked under the flower arched doorway, I had an idea of what to expect, which is an eclectic mix of everything colourful.
Lilli Tulipan sells all sorts of cute knick-knacks from colourful light garlands to gorgeous wrapping paper to little birthday candles in the shape of a lobster. I love to go there to grab a nice birthday card or some small toys as presents for kids, but they also have some really pretty grown up gifts nestled in the corners. I have picked up some really pretty serving plates and cushion covers.
Although the shop is tiny, it is jam-packed with pretty little trinkets, so it's impossible to get bored. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to search high and low and you are bound to stumble across your new favourite thing.
