This is the best reason in Inverness to avoid the retail parks and head for the independent retailers in the old town. Why would anyone want to give a gift that dozens of other people in town already have because the shelves in the retail park are stacked full of the same item. I always buy my gifts in Araveli in the Victorian Market. Unique and classy, inexpensive and good quality. I don't even bother to wrap my purchases as the recycled paper bag that Araveli provides is environmentally friendly and very original. Once my friends see the bag my gift comes in, they smile immediately as they know they are getting something special :o)

Such a lovely environment to shop in, so much so I can't leave without buying a unique piece of design each time I visit.

As a retail surveyor I see a lot of shops and Araveli has to be one of the best fit outs I have seen. It has a great selection of gifts for all occasions. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. I'll certainly be back!!

When I read in the newspaper that Araveli was a UK Finalist for Best British Newcomer to Retail it came as no surprise! The shop is brilliant, innovative and totally unique to Inverness and the area! Great prices too! I can't wait until one opens in Aberdeen!! The range of gifts are fab, so much so Araveli is often the talking point with my friends! The atmosphere is relaxing and the friendly service makes you want to return time after time! It certainly gets my vote!!

Well stocked gift shops, special and different products yet very good value for money. Very friendly shop owners and gorgeous shop windows and set up. Highly recommend!

Ok but shop feels cluttered. Stock was nothing I haven't seen in Brodie, Made in Scotland, Bruar, etc. Sorry but not really that unique or special.

Browsing around in here will provide lots of choices for those times when you have no inspiration for that special gift. They have some really pretty cards too.The shop owners are so friendly and helpful!
