Did you know how our Scrapstore Members basket system works? 👀
For £5, you could have a new craft project to work on this weekend.

If you think filling a shopping trolley at a standard high-street supermarket is an art form, you should see the sheer creative genius our community manages to squeeze into a single £5 worth of baskets. 🛍️🧺

Our flat-rate basket option sits right at the heart of our Scrapstore floor, where we keep things entirely relaxed and affordable so you can stock up on inspiration without a single bit of budget worry.

It is the absolute perfect excuse to stretch your legs, discover a hidden gem you didn't know you needed, and enjoy a slow, comfortable wander through our shelves with a basket in hand.
All you need to do is pop through our front doors, grab an empty basket from the stack, and let your imagination do the walking while you pick out your favourite pieces.

• Grab your basket: Stroll into the main entrance of the Scrapstore and pick up one of our standard shopping baskets from the Scrapstore entrance area.
• Wander the rows: Head deeper into the Scrapstore section and take your time exploring the haberdashery bins, industrial off-cuts, and unique fabric rolls.
• Fill to the top: Place any mixture of loose scrap, buttons, yarns, or creative materials into your basket, packing them safely up to the top rim.
• Check the level: Ensure your treasures are nestled nicely inside the frame so nothing is spilling over or tumbling out into the aisles as you walk.
• Head to the counter: Bring your completed haul up to our friendly team at the main desk, pop down your five pounds, and you're ready to head home and create. 😁

Prepping your exterior woodwork for the colder months ahead? 🪵🖌

Exterior gloss is specifically designed to take a beating from the elements. Because it cures into a tough, flexible barrier, it's the go-to finish for:
• Front doors & window frames: Protects high-touch areas against rain, moisture, and everyday scuffs.
• Sheds, gates & wooden fences: Prevents raw timber from rotting or warping over the winter.

We've got the tins you need on the shelves all stocked up, come have a look to see if we have what you want. 👀

You get top-tier exterior protection for a fraction of what you'd pay at a larger DIY store. Are you getting your outdoor spaces winter ready or finishing off a summer build? Let us know what you're working on below. 👇
