|  Information about our shop in WinchesterReflex has been established for over 20 years and is probably the smallest shop in Winchester. We work hard to provide a range of fun and quirky gifts for your friends and family.
In the shop we usually have at least one of the owners Jane or Claire ready to help you with any queries that you have.
Our staff are always happy to help with ideas and suggestions for that difficult to buy for person. We look forward to seeing you soon.
We now have an engraving machine to enable us to personalise your gifts with a photo and text. Please call if you would like any further information. |  Contact UsPlease call 01962 865566 or 07791 397846 | Directions to our Shop
The closest place to park in Winchester to visit us it Colebrook car park, if you would like to visit the tourist information for more details about Winchester then please click here.
I use the park and ride everyday which costs £3.00 or at the moment £2.00 after 10.30am and the bus drivers are very friendly and helpful. Well we are the first stop on Broadway then you walk past the Guildhall keeping it on your left up on the the Pedestrian zone, C & H Fabrics is on your left and we are located on your right.
There are lots of lovely shops in Winchester, some of my personal favourites are, Jigsaw, Hobbs, Fat Face, White Stuff, Crew Clothing, Shoon, Little London, L K Bennett and Jack Wills. There is a good selection of independent shops but not as many as there should be thanks to the massive costs Leasing a shop in Winchester. | Delivery Information

Having grown up in South London I think every day of how lucky I am to live in such a historic and beautiful city.
What do you dislike about working in Winchester?
Parking and the one-way system!
If I had a million pounds to give you if you gave up either
a) Chocolate
b) Alcoholic Drinks
c) Crisps
Which would it be?
Tough one! Probably would have to be crisps….
What is your earliest childhood memory?
Being in a pram in the garden and my brother throwing toys up at me!
X factor or strictly come dancing?
Oh strictly
Which celebrity would you leave your boyfriend for?
Colin Firth…but don't tell him!
Favourite film?
Hmmm…
Apart from the customers what is the best thing about owning Reflex?
Working with Jane! Oh and choosing all the great gifts and watching which ones our customers like…that's really satisfying.
Are you a techno phobic or a techno geek?
Probably somewhere in the middle…it takes me a bit of time to get used to something new but then I'm usually OK.
Jazz or classical music?
Both!
Are you a morning or afternoon person?
Definitely an afternoon person..
Favourite holiday destination?
So far I think it has to be Sciathos one of the Greek Isalnds
Claire's questions for Jane!
What first attracted you to buying Reflex?
I was looking for a new interest after giving up decorating and moving from Staffordshire and I was completely captivated by the unique look of Reflex the minute I walked in. I love the mirrors, the lighting which is even bright on the dullest of days, the spiral stair case and most of all I love working with the general public.
What makes you laugh?
I like have I go news for you, I adore ugly betty, as I have a soft spot for American sitcoms. I am at college at the minute and we have great fun there, my dad has been known to make me laugh as well as my wonderful friends but probably most of all it is my boy's wonderful sense of humour. I am fairly sure they inherited that from me!
If you could do one thing in life what would it be?
Ohhh I would like to travel the world, which technically speaking adds up to a lot of things. So thinking on I would love to go to Japan with loads of money. Did I mention I would like to eat as much cake as possible and be thin and healthy!?! Oh yea and bring peace to the world and achieve something good and wholesome.
What's your greatest achievement so far?
Probably not having a complete nervous breakdown, but I think there is still time for that to happen! My greatest achievement has to be Reflex, I love it, sometimes too much.
What's the best thing about working at Reflex?
Knowing on Christmas day when I open my presents there are loads of people who are also opening theirs and really love the present their friend or relative has bought them from our little shop and all the hard work is worth it.
If you could change something about the shop what would it be?
Umm I guess it would be to make myself more organised and tidy, either that or a bigger stock room for all the wonderful things we like to sell.
What do you like and dislike about living in Winchester?
I absolutely love walking down by the river in the mornings through all weathers and when everyone sits out and eats their lunch in the cathedral grounds. I like that Winchester is not too big and not too small for me.
I dislike the parking especially paying sooo much for it.
Would you say you are a thinker or a doer?
I think about doing it! It depends on what it is I have to do, but I definitely lean towards thinking.
What's your greatest strength?
The ability to think laterally. It has got me out of all sorts of tricky situations over the years. Actually come to think of it, it may have got me into some tricky situations over the years too! Alongside that I am patient.
You asked me so who would you leave your partner for?!
The man who plays Don in madmen, I can't even speak when he is on the television which is very unusual for me.
Favourite clothes shop?
Ohh I think it is White Stuff, it is wonderful stuff, washes and wears really well but in Winchester there is a good chance you will meet someone else wearing the same dress as you!
