I need you to think like a hippy-emo-baby-gothsicle!

I promised to help out a work colleague. He's going to South Africa to visit some old friends, and wants a present for their 15 year old daughter who is 'a bit gothy'. After persuading him that a top might not be the best idea (I don't know what ~type~ of goth she is for a start, plus the whole cleavage-y or not thing is a minefield...) I suggested a bag, something velvet and sparkly, and something with dragons on, maybe a notebook.

I actually spotted the perfect book AND bag in Whitby, but at that point he still had his heart set on a top so I couldn't buy them then. I tried to get back out there the weekend before last but got turned back by snow, and the weekend just gone I was writing solidly. So I need to find them somewhere in Leeds.

Of course in the old days I'd just pop down to the Corn Exchange, but it's all emptified now. So has anybody got any idea where dragony-gothy-hippy stuff can still be found? Ideally this lunchtime?

(Or failing that, and alternative suggestion for something appropriate I can pick up in Leeds for about £25?)
