There are books and models. There are items with no use and not forgeting the nasty pictures in naff frames. Its a fun shop though. We enjoyed laughing at some of the goods. Worth a little visit.

If you are looking for a gift or card that is a bit original or a bit kitsch then this is the shop…read moreto come to. But if you are easily offended then stay away, as a lot of their stock is rather naughty to be polite!!! I love popping in this shop, as they have some really unusual jewellery and bags, and if I need to find a gift for someone there's always something to suit. Some stuff can be a tad pricey, but then it is hard to find anywhere else locally. The only downside to the shop is that it's really cramped, so don't go n with any shopping bags (and it's not suitable for buggies or wheelchair users.

This place is a blessing! Mike Eastwood who owns this…read morebusiness has been doing this for 20 years. It is coming froma very real place, if you know what I mean. AiristiA has a fantastic website as well and they sell a huge range of well chosen crystals, books, CD's and DVD's, cards and jewllery, insense, essential oils, etc. Ok, so there are many such shops around these days, but here's none like this one. And if you are interested in crystals, then this is an important place to be in touch with. Mike sources crystals from some special places - crystal skulls, Lemurians, new age crystals and his beautiful set of Nine Chakra Healing Crystals. These are absolutely amazing! Also they run interesting, worthwhile courses and there are practitioners who work from the shop as well.

This is a shop specialising in crystals and books of a spiritual and philosophical nature. If you…read moreare interested in crystals (and their healing properties) then unlike many other similar shops this is the place I would recommend as they seem very serious and knowledgeable about them. If you are not so deeply interested it is still a great place to visit as they also sell a lot of beautiful jewellery and you can find some lovely items that would make excellent gifts.

This is a useful shop if you need to buy a card to go with a gift you are buying (at Gunwharf…read moreQuays) but I'm more likely to pop into Paperchase and pick up something a bit more unusual. The shop is no different to any other branch, so nothing to get excited about. I think it's surprisingly large considering it's location.

This store is situated on the main shopping street in the centre of Portsmouth. It sells a variety…read moreof cards for every occasion, gift wrap and gift bags, and gifts such as teddybears. I find this card shop one of the most expensive in Portsmouth, although the quality is better than you get from the cheaper stores. At Christmas I tend to shop in cheaper card shops but have to get a couple of cards from here that are for relatives not covered by the other store. Therefore it does have a better range than other stores. The store is of reasonable size and only feels cramped at Christmas when it gets much busier (as do all shops). The staff are friendly and keep the store tidy. Even at Christmas the shelves look well stocked with envelopes that actually match the cards.
