The walls are lined with decorations, cards, balloons, fancy dress wear, face paint, wigs and jokes. My resent visit brought me in for something specific. Party World fits a lot into a small space, but on this occasion they were missing engagement cards. This didn't dash my expectations or lessen my opinion of the place, I had just popped in on the off chance and for a nose. Fun shop and as Arnie said "I will be back".

Llandaff North could really do with a good fancy dress and party goods shop, so I was incredibly…read moredisappointed when I visited Party Central on Station Road. They have a small selection of birthday cards, which whilst perfectly adequate are nothing particularly special. Additionally the party goods selection is rather pathetic (some basic paper plates, and napkins). They do have a small range of fancy dress, however all of this is rather tarty and tacky in my opinion (lots of bunny ears).

Called to complain and I was told by the manager (David) that they "obviously" only last 12 hours and this is just "the basic laws physics"! I suggested that this may have been important information for customers (like me) who don't have a physics degree- however he was very rude and slammed the phone down. As you can imagine, my daughter was quite 'deflated'! What awful customer service. Would never recommend - avoid.

I think the main draw, however, is the specialist balloon decor (one example can be seen in the photo I included). Bob creates bespoke balloon art for parties, weddings and corporate functions, but just a quick browse around the premises will give you an idea of his skill. Floor-to-ceiling creations pepper the shop floor, giving this Yelper an idea or two for her beloved's daughter's next birthday party. The ground floor also showcases every latex balloon design you can imagine (from smiley faces to Peppa Pig), in addition to greeting cards, invitations and other party necessities. Downstairs is where the fancy dress kit is stocked, offering your usual ranges of hats, masks and costumes. Bob and Julie are absolutely lovely and happy to spend a few minutes chatting - if you live in Cardiff, it's definitely worth the trek out here if you're looking for unique decor ideas for your next party.

All hail bob.

I appreciate this place will only hold a small interest to the majority of people in Cardiff, but if you're a child of the 80s and resolutely deny the call to grow up that society places upon you, then this place is freaking ace-a-tron. So many memories are contained with its four dark walls. WWF figures, those tiny models of footballers with massive heads that rarely looked like the actual person, Simpson Figurines, Atari stuff, a Super Nintendo in the original Street Fighter II box that I received for Christmas when I was 9. There's a small section of girls toys, but really 80s Toy Shop is all about the boys. It's a tad pricey, but then this places saves you the time and effort of trawling eBay or trudging around boot sales. 80s Toy Shop is a must for any manboy between the ages of 21-40.

Many of the products are boxed and in excellent condition, and when there is something incomplete the staff will point it out to you. Some of September's new products include a Mego Spiderman 12" play figure for the boys out there, or an Anastasia 'Fantasy in Paris' for the girls - then there's a Nintendo Nes Console for any retro gaming geeks, complete with controller and power supply! Although they run an online shop as well as their store in Canton, it's better to drop into the shop if you can because their online shop doesn't always show all of the latest stock (although they do update it regularly).
