This shop saves me ever having to go into town when in need of cards or wrapping paper. They have a…read morewide selection of cards; from the tasteful, to the funny, to the noisy and even luxury handmade ones, which though on the pricey side I find always go down well. They have a good selection of ribbons, bows and wrapping paper, however It would be good if they did more gift bags, though perhaps that's wishful thinking. They also stock helium balloons, which is useful if you live locally and don't want it getting in the way in the car. It's definitely not worth driving halfway across Cardiff for but handy if you live nearby.

An average card shop selling a huge range of cards but nothing that makes it stand out from any…read moreothr card shops. They had a good stock of wrapping paper gift bags etc. Serenade stocks novelty soft toys, balloons, and stationary products. It also is a stockist of Terramundi money pots for every imaginable occasion, as well as given the time of year a large range of graduation themed gifts. Their wedding car decoration pack complete with balloons and ribbons caught my eye ideal if wanted to have your own customised wedding celebrations.

First of all, this place has a really good website as well as a good shop so if, for some reason,…read moreyou can't find what you are looking for, definitely do go home and try to find it online. The site is really easy to navigate. The staff in the shop, to get back into the thing that I am actually meant to be reviewing, are lovely. They all seem to be quite passionate about art and crafts, though I realise that that seems to be an odd statement. They all seem to enjoy art and crafts greatly is perhaps better? The prices are really good and the range is just fantastic so you're almost certain to find what you need. I did, as it happens but the staff are so good that I'm sure they wouldn't mind helping you out if you were missing something,

Now I'm not at all a crafty individual, however I can't deny that this shop even touches an…read moreartistic part of my soul. They have a massive selection of craft items such as ribbons, lace, stickers, stamps, and the most beautiful, delicate paper. The staff here are friendly, and even better are willing to offer advice on how to create specific items using these products. In particular I'd recommend this place for those of you who are clever (and frugal) enough to make your own cards.

Gareth was very knowledgeable and helpful. There was a large selection of frames in the shop and he…read moreoffered an efficient and competitive service. I would highly recommend Artisan Framing

This is neat little shop in the Rhiwbina area where there is a small section of shops and cafes…read morethat are all squashed together near some houses within that area in Cardiff. Love the idea of eating and drinking right next to a neat little book shop? Then this is the place for you, particularly if you're a Christian. It was originally owned by a church in Rhiwbina, over twenty years ago and it has grown ever since and now has a cafe joint with the book shop. You can get Christian books; jewellery, stickers, stationary, book ends, book marks, window stickers, children books, bible study books and study journals for the use of your quiet times with God. Either as an individual or whilst being in a bible study group. I recommend it to all Christian's and possibly even to Catholics. They have friendly staff members working on the till and they have wheel chair access.

A coffee and book shop run by the local Baptist church using Fair trade products. The coffee shop…read moreis very popular serving wide range of hot and cold drinks as well as snacks, soups, sandwiches, jacket potatoes etc and cakes. The bookshop had a large range of Christian based literature,books and magazines as a small range of non religious literature including some Jane Austen books.

I love this gallery situated on Caerphilly Road. They have prints and photos from throughout Wales…read morewhich you can buy framed or unframed. The owner is very friendly and helpful and I was particularly grateful when he framed a print for me at short notice for an elderly uncle's birthday present. So if you're looking for a special present, with a Welsh flavour, head for this gem of a store!

Small well stocked florists in centre of Llanishen village. Aside from usual flower selection they…read morealso have two large chilli plants, which being a curry lover I was sorely tempted to buy (I'll stick to the powder from the supermarket for the time being). They also had some lovely sunflowers to tempt me. The shop stocked locally made jewellery at very reasonable prices, as well as a few wooden ornaments and a selection of cards.

I love our local florist. Angela always looks after me there! Lovely flowers, great service! The…read moreonly thing is that they stock a lot of the same items that Llanishen Cards do and I don't think jewellery has a place in a florist. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. But I'd rather gardening items and bits and bobs. There are some wonderful garden/home items out there nowadays, I think that should be stocked instead as I wouldn't buy the jewellery there over the Card Shop. The quality is not as good. But like I said, perhaps I'm an old fuddy duddy! I always buy my arrangements here and wreaths at Christmas. Always very competitive and reasonable! A lovely, lovely little shop!
