Hi all! Just wanted to share some (potentially) life-saving info. I found something here that I never thought I would: a store that sells supplies for lefties! Actually, my sister-in-law and I stumbled upon them a few months ago and she found them again on this forum: 4 Leaf Clover in Satwa.
My son is a lefty and it's been a real hassle getting things for him as I either have to wait until someone comes over from the UK or else have the items couriered over (which gets expensive). The best parts are that one of the ladies there is left-handed so she's a real help AND they get their products from the store we used to get ours from in London!!
They've also got some really cute and unique gift items for almost any occassion - stuff I haven't seen anywhere else in Dubai (anyone notice how all the well-known shopping centres here ALWAYS have EXACTLY the same stores? It gets boring quite quick!)
Happy shopping all!
Oh! Forgot to mention: they've been written about in 7Days (ask Ingrid), Emirates Evening Post, and Friday magazine so you can check them out instead of just taking my word for it.
