Well-positioned shop along the town centre throughfare and nicely laid out inside…read more Modern and fresh, with a huge selection of cards for every occasion. Given that prices of commercial cards these days are very high as a rule, the Card Warehouse has a gratifyingly enonomic theme and most price tags are definately less than what you'd expect to pay in more high-end shops. There are also bargain sections where the cards are even cheaper, sometimes on a speciality seasonal offer and sometimes just random bargains. Also for sale here are the usual supplies of wrapping paper and gift boxes (though these are not as economical as the cards) and small sundry gift items, along with calendars and novelty items. As an extra bonus, you can buy filled helium baloons for any special occasion, just ask at the counter. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the premises always clean and pleasant to browse around. A very useful shop - and usually my first (and only) call for individual greetings cards.

It is easy to find what you are looking for in the shop with the cards being arranged by the occasion they are for. As well as cards they sell balloons, teddies, badges, confetti, candles and other small gifts. The staff seem friendly and I am sure they will help if you can't find what you are looking for.
