- Sun Emporium for all your lava lamp type stuff. Purchased a handy thirst aid hat, the pinnacle of many nights out in Loughborough cept im always the one who ends up carrying it home. Good range of hairdye's as well, all colours. Make sure you find out when delivery day is as stocks seem to get rampaged pretty quickly by Loughboroughs rainbow heads.

- Titania, opposite Effies (girls be wary of the aforementioned place), sells some unusual stuff and if you're into Feng Shui they sell authentic crystals too.

- There is a new shop on Market Street that sells inflatable aliens.
- Grass Roots, just down the road to Left Legged, has all sorts of craft type junk and kids toys and expensive cards and is the town's only supplier of Crazy Color hairdye.
