We like Scribbler because they have already proven themselves in the industry since they were founded in 1981. Through the years, they successfully established their store as the go-to place for greeting cards.

Here, you will find all sorts of cards, but they are most popular for their humorous ones. This is great for those who want to put a smile on the face of the receiver.

Furthermore, we appreciate that they have a wide range of designs that you can choose from. Each comes with a witty yet endearing message inside.

With this, you will have the option to choose the one that best fits your relationship with whom the card is intended.

In case you want to take your thoughtfulness up a notch, we have good news for you. Scribbler also has blank cards that you can design yourself!

There are also basic art materials available in the store, which makes shopping here even more convenient. 

We also like that you may shop through their website and have the items delivered to someone else. This is great for those who don’t have the time or capacity to meet people during events.

The only downside is that not all of their items are available online. If you want to see the full scope of their products, it is still best to visit their physical store in Market St.

Card Factory is one of the most popular card stores in the UK. In fact, they have serval branches in Manchester alone.

For this review, we are going to focus on their branch on Market Street as this is the one with the most foot traffic. Although that is not really surprising as the convenient location of the shop allows customers to drop by with no issues. 

When it comes to their products, we are sure that you will be pleased with their wide variety of designs. They also have greeting cards for all types of occasions and celebrations. 

Since finding the right one can be overwhelming, we think it’s a good thing that they have supportive staff members who will take care of you.

Just keep in mind that there can be long queues here at times. If you do not want to fall in line, you may check their website instead.

In case you intend on shopping online, you will also have no issues with their online catalogue. Here, they sorted all of the cards according to the event for easy browsing.

We also like that there is an option to personalise your card. Aside from your own message, you will also have the option to add photos – which is a plus if you ask us.

Along with this, their delivery services are also on-point. According to their customers, you can be at ease that your card will arrive on time and in good condition. 

What sets Paperkisses apart is that they are more than just a greeting card store. Here, you will find items that you can give as a present for all types of occasions. 

We like that they even have a gift-wrapping station where you can ask their staff members to ensure that your item is beautifully enclosed. Unlike other stores where there is only a standard wrapping available, they will allow you to customise it here.

For example, they have wrapping services for men, women, and children. You can even choose your box, tissue, ribbon, and more – which makes it even more special.

Moving on to their cards, we like that they have a wide selection of designs. However, what we appreciate the most about them is that they have cards for very specific events such as 18th birthday cards, new home cards, religious occasion cards, and more. 

If you are looking for a certain card that may be hard to find, we suggest that you consider them. In case you cannot find it here either, you can still use their card personalisation services.

Here, they have blank cards that you can design on your own. Alternatively, you can also ask for the staff’s assistance.

The only downside is that there have been reports where their staff members are not as attentive as the customers hope they would be. Nevertheless, the store is very organised and you should be able to find what you need, with or without assistance.

When it comes to the range of products, we believe that Paperchase takes the cake. Aside from their wide selection of greeting cards, they also have school supplies, gifts, and party essentials available in their store.

With this in mind, we think that they will be a perfect partner for those who are planning to throw a celebration. 

We also like to commend their staff members for being helpful to their customers. Here, they will ensure that you have everything that you need and would even rundown all party basics with you in case you forgot something.

Along with this, you can also source your gifts here as they have countless thoughtful items in stock. They even have sections depending on your budget that ranges from £5, £10, and £15. 

Of course, they also have a gift-wrapping section that would ensure that your present is beautifully packed and ready to go. 

The only drawback is that when it comes to the actual cards, they have a significantly smaller selection compared to other shops in the area. However, this is understandable for us as they have other offerings in their store. 

If you prefer to shop online, their website is also easy to browse. All of their products and services are neatly arranged to help you find all of the items that you need.

If you are on the hunt for the perfect card for a child, then you should consider Stripey Cats Cards. They are a unique shop that offers adorable greeting cards for the young ones and the young at heart.

Here, you will be assured that you will not accidentally give a card with humour that is not age-appropriate. Along with this, you can also have peace of mind that the elements of the design are also child-friendly. 

We like that their cards are sorted in two ways. The first one is by event – this will help you find the right card depending on the occasion. 

The second one is by design – since children are known to develop an affinity for certain characters, this will help you find a card with an illustration that they will appreciate.

Aside from cards, they also offer personalised clocks. These make for a great gift as well, as it is both useful and pleasing to the eyes.

Furthermore, they also print decorations that would look good in children’s bedrooms or play areas. 

Just keep in mind that if you want to place a personalised order, you would need to do so in advance to give them time to prepare. nevertheless, they will let you know how soon you can get your item before accepting your order.
