It has a great, really varied selection of cards (including lots of cards for special events, anniversaries etc). It also has a good selection of gifts (by people such as Emma Bridgewater and East of India) CDs and wrapping paper,. The prices are reasonable too, in comparison with London prices.

It's really hard sometimes to find decent cards - they're either soppy pastels or bad jokes, but the range here covers all bases. They have lots of colourful cards with decent pictures, and some humour cards which are actually funny. Also plenty of other useful party stuff such as balloons and streamers, and a small range of standard stationery items. Staff always seem smiley and friendly

They have a very good range of cards, including gently humorous ones I have not seen elsewhere, and plenty of those in which you can write your own message. I've never left empty-handed (and I'm quite picky when it comes to birthday cards). They also have a small range of stationery and post-cards. I've not used the photographic services here, but the staff always strike me as very pleasant.

It is well set out so that if you want something quick you can get it. Mr. Abidi the Director of the store was more than helpful and made the experience a pleasant one. It also has little things that you wouldn't expect and at very competitive prices. Coming up to Christmas it is always good to find a few bargains here and there which you will find in this shop. Also, they are open from 7 in the morning until 12 at night everyday! so they are hard working and deserve people missing Tesco to buy your bits and bobs from here.

Now in the midst of a shopping public it has the attention of more people. I received excellent service and attention yesterday when I went to post an item. The Post Office is well signed, and is right at the end of Sussex Stationers. It is a bit of plod to the end of the shop...! There is access to self posting of parcels on the left as you approach the main counters, and there are quite a few spaces to complete your business.

I found it a little like crossing the electronics section of the Argos catalogue with say Maplin. It's not all high end sound and vision or super tech electronic parts but at the same time there's a little more to it than the tacky bush HIFI systems that you find in Argos. This is a great place to pick up a neat little radio for the kitchen or a set of scart leads. When I popped in earlier I found that the chap behind the counter was charming polite and totally ready to look up the item I needed and sort me out.

Chock full of all sorts of useful and more-fun-than-practical kitchen gadgets, homewares, baking accoutrements, and fun knickknacks/tiny toys with a vintage-style bent this place is to die for! The store is beautifully arranged with lots of space to move about between the colorful displays and decorations. Prices are really reasonable and the staff were so friendly! We walked out with a little bag full of treasures. Bert's will definitely be staying on my list of places to visit when I'm in Brighton!

It's not exclusively for men but it tends to be men that go in there and look at the cool screen printed tee-shirts (everything from funny slogans to grafitti style designs), the limited edition posters and prints, the colourful Pantone mugs, the quirky stationary and greeting cards and the small but brilliant selection of hand-drawn comics and art books.

The women's clothing selection was pretty sparse, but the dresses, sweaters and t-shirts were of high quality, and reasonably priced. Men's clothing racks also held casual clothes - tees and long sleeve shirts with a few pairs of jeans. Gift ideas were quite unique - my favourite being an egg you crack and grow a plant out of. Can't say I've seen that before. Other offerings were mugs, recycled notebooks and some hilarious cards that I hung around for awhile to read.
