Customer Reviews
A beautiful shop with wonderful displays of unusual gift items. The 2025 Christmas window is an incredible street scene handmade by one of the owners, both lovely people. A real joy to shop there.
One of my favourite shops in Chorlton, unique and quirky items, cards and trinkets. Love the two guys who own it, so friendly! I always find something here for friend’s birthdays.
The Curious Fox is the gift shop version of Hollywood's The Shop Around The Corner bookstore (You've Got Mail). Tom Hanks is the 'baddie' in Fox Books! If you never visit another shop in your life, visit this one. This is a shop for all ages. This is the shop that puts the sparkle back in your eyes. I chatted with Stewart because he was behind his counter, making a model. Ask him about his time with stop-go animation for Bob the Builder. Better still - buy something - even something small, like a card. It's your responsibility to make sure that this wonderful little gift shop in Chorlton, Manchester, never goes out of business the way the little bookstore went.
