About Us
For Something Different is a friendly family-run business situated in Stratford upon Avon. We’ve been trading for nearly twenty years, first under the name Garden Images and then under our current name. We’ve stayed true to our green-fingered roots, selling a small selection of gardening equipment and ornaments, and over the years we have added a few more strings to our bow.
We pride ourselves on offering a unique shopping experience; whether you’re searching for a gift for a loved one or looking to treat yourself, we’ve got you covered. Our stock ranges from quality Italian leather handbags and silver and pearl jewellery, to humorous greetings cards and mugs, to scarves, ponchos and other apparel, and many more things besides!
We’re positioned in the very heart of Stratford upon Avon, a stone’s throw away from Shakespeare’s Birthplace. Stratford is a hub of activity all year round and we’re proud to be a part of it! We pitch up at the fantastic River Festival every summer, and in the winter months you’ll find us spreading festive cheer at the Stratford Christmas Markets.
Whatever you’re looking for, our welcoming and knowledgeable staff will be on hand to point you in the right direction. And if something catches your eye on our social media pages but you can’t make it to the shop, we offer a mail order service as well. Nothing is too big an ask; we’ll help you to find something just a little bit different!
