Paws n' Thoughts from the title suggests this shop is all about pet food and supplies. Spot on. But…read morethe shop has also turned into a florist and offers balloons, gifts and cards. Flowers are reasonably priced and there are many to choose from so that is one positive. There are also a number of cards to choose from whether they are birthdays, anniversaries, thank you cards etc. The cards are pretty cheap as well so that is another positive. I do not have any pets so I did not really pay much attention to the pets part of the shop although I did see dog food, toys for animals etc. The shop is very roomy and the staff are very friendly. If you do have any pets, this could be a place for you in terms of getting pet food at a cheaper rate. Considering the financial difficulties we are facing, there are plenty of cheap items at Paws n' Thoughts and you may want to purchase one or two items from here.

I have to admit, I am not an animal person but my little sister is and she insisted we visit this…read morestore because she wanted to see what food we could get for her recent addition to the family....'Felix' the cat. Having never been in a pet store (yes seriously), I wasn't sure what to expect or even look out for. So, I kind of entered into the store like a lost chicken. My little sister on the other hand, was beaming with excitement and she became even more excited when she realised they sold more than just pet food. We ended up spending a good 40 minutes in the store. She bought her cat a new collar, a gift card from the store for one of her friends who's birthday was coming up (I didn't even realise they sold gift cards in pet shops). I'm not going back in there with her!! Taking 10 year olds shopping is a big mistake but overall this store is actually really cool. They sell what every pet lover would adore and more. I highly recommend it to those wanting to give their pet a little something special. Another note is that the staff are really nice too!!

She is really helpful. They have a really wide range and they are cheap. There is not much room to move in there and it is quite small. They do have an upstairs but it is not for customers it is for the staff who can go up and get cards down etc. They have a stock room and if you would like a card for example 21st card they will also go and get a selection from the stock room if you want them too. Really nice. You can also buy balloons from here. Every time I visit there is a little box which must have been there for alteast two years now with keyring in with names on number plates and pens with names on and they are only 99p. Recommend if your on the high street to have a look but no room for a pushchair etc.

Turns out I did myself a favour because not only are they party planners but they have a party supplies shop too. I was desperately in need for anniversary balloons of a specific colour, which I couldn't find anywhere. The party was on an Easter weekend and I was fast running out of time to find the balloons. I was relieved to find that Decorations 4U were open on Good Friday and they had a huge range of balloons for various events and in numerous colours. The staff members were very pleasant and friendly. They went out of their way to help and opened a little later for me to get there in time before they were closing. Great service!
