I visited in early December and the shop was very busy, probably due to the large selection of…read moreChristmas cards which were on display. The cards seem reasonably priced, certainly far cheaper than the cards I had just looked at across the road at WH Smiths. They also have various gifts, wrapping paper etc. On this occasion I was looking for a card for my brother's birthday but I found the selection fairly limited and couldn't find one that I liked so I went elsewhere. All in all an OK card shop even though I didn't buy on this occasion.

Tienne is a lovely shop situated in Wayfarers Arcade on Lord Street. I believe they also have a…read moreshop in Longridge but i havent been to that one. The owner Joy is always really friendly and helpful and if she doesnt have something particular you want she will usually try to get it for you. Tienne stocks lots of my favourite things like Pandora bracelets and charms, jewellery by Kit heath, Hot Diamonds, Storm. They stock wallets, bags, purses, general gifts, unsual items, quirky gadgets, candles, lamps, photo frames and all manner of gifts. They offer free gift wrapping instore and also run a reward card scheme which is great. You get one point for every £10 spent and the points soon add up giving you the following rewards : 10 points = £5 voucher 15 points = £10 voucher 20 points = £15 voucher 25 points = £20 voucher They also have special promotions and evening events when they offer special discount prices and a complimentary glass of wine. They are open - Monday - Saturday 9:30am - 17:30pm Closed Sundays and Bank Holidays *Christmas opening hours may differ however. This is a really nice airy shop with a good selection and is one of my favourites in Wayfarers, no, in Southport!

There is often some kind of offer on, at the moment it's on 2009 calendars, buy one get one free. The calendars are a good price to begin with and they are of popular bands/movie stars, Brad Pitt swoon I now stop there first when I need a card and it's very rare that I need to look elsewhere.

Poulton has its fair share of card shops though, with two long established ones in the Teanlowe Centre as well as a W.H.Smiths. Card Crazy has a much larger selection than any of the others though and I'll probably come here first when I'm next looking to buy a card. All in all a smashing card shop!

There are plenty of reasonabley priced cards to choose from but i find it very overcrowded. Staff are quick and will jump on the tills when there is a queue. Worth going in for the value for money.

The card factory is to be found on the corner of the pedestrianised Market Walk right next to the…read moremarket. It is a great chain of card shops with lots of good quality cards for all occasions but at very reasonable prices. There are often special deals on birthday cards such as 10 good quality cards for £1 - these are regular offers so you can rely on getting some bargains. The store also sells a range of small gifts some of which can be bought wrapped with cellophane and bows. There are so many ranges of goods crammed into the shop that it is difficult to get around the shop when it is busy and if you are a wheelchair user or mum with a buggy you will find it very difficult to get around the shop if there are more than a handful of customers in already.A row of baskets and boxes with offer goods in right near the main door does not help.This lack of space seems to be common in a lot of card factory shops but space is at a premium in this store, some of the stock is even put outside the store in wire baskets. great cards, great prices but would be even better with more space to move around..

There prices are a little bit high but you would only really go in here if it is someones birthday so you don't really mind spending a little bit extra.

This is a fantastic shop to buy affordable cards and the bric-a-brac that goes with them, such as…read morewrapping paper, best mum in the world cups etc. the only downside to the shop is the aisles, when its near events like Valentines day or the run up to Christmas it is near-impossible to walk round, this makes access for people with buggies or wheelchairs totally out of the question.

The Card Factory has been open in Barrow for a year or two now, and I think its fair to say it has…read moremade us all realise how much we used to get ripped off when we only had a Clinton Cards beforehand! This store specialises in cheap, great value cards, wrapping paper, balloons etc etceverything you need for a special occasion. Cards start at 29p, and I don't think any of them cost more than 99p. Much better than the £3+ that other big-chain card shops charge! They're really nice for the price too, even some hand-made ones. I used to be a card snob and would only buy expensive cards, but this shop has made me realise that you don't need to pay those daft prices. It's only quite a small store, but they have every card you can think of under the sun. Unfortunately this includes some daft ones which card companies just invent to make more money - happy teacher's day, happy motorists day and so on - but there aren't many of those, they're mostly the usual birthday, Christmas, valentines, Mothers and Fathers day cards. They also sell wrapping paper, gift bags, and some gift ideas such as photo frames, 18th/21st boxed champagne glasses, keyrings etc - all at much cheaper prices than the usual card shops. As mentioned before, it's only a small shopthis means it turns into a complete nightmare every special occasion, as it gets packed out and you can't move. Go a few days before Valentines Day/Christmas Eve etc etc, not on the actual day itself! The staff are great though, and always manage to get through the queues and serve you quickly. If you're paying by card you have to spend at least £5 so bear that in mind and take some cash (it's surprisingly hard to spend £5 in here when everything is so cheap!) - but apart from that, it's a brilliant shop. I wouldn't buy cards anywhere else now!
