Staff are very friendly here and doesn't make you feel your being harassed if your stopped by an employee. Less cards means higher prices. But the quality and class of them do exceed other card chains. I sound like a special occasions card connoisseur here, but if your looking to impress and want quality that you feel a loved one deserves then you could do worse than have a look here.

I'm not sure if this is really the right way to put this, but this place feels rather too trendy to…read morebe a card shop. The interior is rather modern, upscale, and dare I say minimalist (very unusual for a gift card store). There is plenty of space between the long aisles, so even on the busiest of days you have no fear of being squished. The card selection itself is good, but nothing in particular caught my eye (if you want an extensive selection head to Clinton Cards). There is an entire aisle devoted to Me to You Bears, which I imagine must be a dream to any collectors! They also have a selection of photo frames which weren't particularly to my taste but may make nice gifts. If in need of a card or gift it's worth checking out Thoughts for yourself.

Whilst they sell the usual products e.g. DVDs, books, boardgames, stationary, the selections aren't that great (perhaps due to the lack of space). Also the aisles are pretty close together and as this store can get pretty packed, I often feel rather claustrophobic. Personally I recommend you avoid this store, and head for Waterstones if your after a book or HMV if after a DVD (their selections are far superior).

I am continually surprised at how quickly they spot if something is amiss and clean/correct the shelves as soon as possible.
