The Card Room

The quintessential place to buy an elderly relative a card that would receive appreciative sighs. A large quantity of twee sentimentality has been injected into this shop and although the style does not comply with my own, The Card Room does provide a more intimate, local setting in which to purchase this style of card.
Alongside the vast array of aforementioned cards, there is a random miscellany of gifts. Ranging from handmade jewellery to calendars, umbrellas to clocks, and photo frames to keepsakes, The Card Room has the bagatelle market covered.
There is an entire baby section at the rear of the shop, and whilst I was there recently, a staff member was expertly guiding a gentleman around the selection of photo memory books for babies. The man in question did not take much encouragement to proudly announce that he had just become a Grandfather for the first time, regaling his assistant with her name and weight. It was a touching moment to overhear! If you were wondering, the baby was called Amber.
The Card Room is a perfectly adequate shop in which to purchase a fairly conservative range of cards and knickknacks. Although I doubt I would make the detour from the city centre to visit the shop, for certain recipients, I would consider the trek.

The Card Room is a pretty standard gift shop selling a huge range of reasonably expensive cards, and loads of gifts. Gifts include rather cute sort toys to mugs, drinking glasses, picture frames, decorations, hand bags, umbrellas, clocks and placemats. The shop is quite large with products well-​displayed and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Like most gift shops, the majority of items are quite expensive, but if you like gifty paraphernalia you’re likely to find something to fork out for.

The Card Room is a little shop that sells mainly (you guessed it), cards. As I am writing this in the premature lead up to Christmas we Brits have seemed to adopt, the whole shop is appropriately decorated with sparkly tinsel and a sea of cards sporting reindeer and snowmen on their covers. They also sell a range of nic nacs you would expect to see in a gift shop like sparkly candles, gloves and scarves, jewellery and wrapping paper. The style incorporated by The Card Room is not really one that I share. It is more for the cutesy and fluffy amongst us. The prices are also a bit steep for a card shop in my opinion, but if you find yourself in need to purchase a present and card for a distant relative and you happen to be walking past, it’s the place for you. Or if you like that sort of thing, maybe a place to treat ones self.

Love this place. It is quite expensive but you get what you pay for as everything is high quality. It’s the kind of place where you get loved ones cards rather than your work mate as they are all pretty high end. It isn’t crazy money or anything like that but it isn’t the kind of place where they sell 79p cards. A lot seem to be hand made too and they always have some interesting gift type items.
Even though I am a man and rarely get excited by things like this, I have to say they always have beautiful cards.
The people are also really nice. The guy in particular is chatty, welcoming and friendly and so is the lady.
