The quintessential place to buy an elderly relative a card that would receive appreciative sighs. A…read morelarge quantity of twee sentimentality has been injected into this shop and although the style does not comply with my own, The Card Room does provide a more intimate, local setting in which to purchase this style of card. Alongside the vast array of aforementioned cards, there is a random miscellany of gifts. Ranging from handmade jewellery to calendars, umbrellas to clocks, and photo frames to keepsakes, The Card Room has the bagatelle market covered. There is an entire baby section at the rear of the shop, and whilst I was there recently, a staff member was expertly guiding a gentleman around the selection of photo memory books for babies. The man in question did not take much encouragement to proudly announce that he had just become a Grandfather for the first time, regaling his assistant with her name and weight. It was a touching moment to overhear! If you were wondering, the baby was called Amber. The Card Room is a perfectly adequate shop in which to purchase a fairly conservative range of cards and knickknacks. Although I doubt I would make the detour from the city centre to visit the shop, for certain recipients, I would consider the trek.

In the window there is usually a selection of fine art paintings. On entering there are a a number of card stands with beautiful individual cards on sale, from hand made to equisite prints and more. There are a few gift items too, including some hand made jewellery, which must be made in store as when I was browsing I managed to sneak a peak at the workshop area since the curtain was open! As a fellow crafter I can certainly vouch for the quality of the materials and the items - very nice! All in all this shop is one of the nicer places for cards and gifts in Chapel Allerton. If you're in the vicinity go and take a browse!

This one has a real personal feel - when I asked what time they were open on the weekend the lady behind the till light heartedly said they didn't believe in opening on a Sunday and mentioned there was another 'Angel' shop up the road, with Radio 2 playing unobtrusively in the background Whilst the other sells wrapping paper, this one sells mostly cards but also jewelry that looked unique and hand made. Some of it that I really liked looked well made and of good quality whilst other pieces were not so interesting. There were a couple of very large teddy bears, possibly the largest I have ever seen! I'm not sure if they are hugely tasteful but someone must buy them. Perhaps for people with children? More unusually, this gift shop sells paintings - not just bog standard wall-covering ones but some that I could really imagine having in my home for aesthetic pleasure! I also noticed some ceramic figures, which aren't really my thing but these were lovely, very sensitively made.

But for the other 95% of the time, I'm likely to find what I need in here. They have fantastic promotions on too - there's usually a selection of cards where you can choose any 7 for £1 - absolutely perfect for all of Mini MacDoo #1's classmates when their birthdays come up! As well as the cards, you'll also find a wide selection of trinkety gifts (mostly fairly tacky) plus wrapping paper, balloons and all the other paraphernalia that tends to go along with greetings cards. Stars are lost on two fronts - firstly as mentioned the bulk of the cards stocked are of simply 'ok' quality, secondly, it can get totally packed at peak times eg Xmas, Mother's Day, Valentines day etc. which can be a bit hellish. But with prices of the cards so low, you can't really grumble to be fair. I'll certainly be back in there again before my Nan's birthday next week!

The prices are less than half those of the better known shops, yet the quality is comparable on many cards. There are some very cheap and cheerful ones, but the majority look more expensive than they are. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and very willing to help you search for what you need. The only disadvantage is that at busy times (run up to Xmas etc) there can be queues at the check-out, but you will rarely have to wait more than a couple of minutes. Recommended.
