Cards Galore

This is a delightful card shop on the North Concourse of Leeds train station. Particularly handy if, like me, you have a tendancy to go and visit friends and family for birthdays and such, then only just remember as you get to the station that you’d forgotten to pick up a card for them. D’oh!
Thankfully there is now plenty of choice in Leeds station if you’re in this position! There’s Funky Pigeon, Paperchase and WH Smiths all selling greetings cards, but this shop will definitely be my first choice in future.
The thing that makes this shop the one I’d choose over Funky Pigeon and Paperchase is the size and layout of the shop. The quality and range of cards and gifts on offer is as good as at those other two outlets, and the prices are about the same. But browsing for a nice card in here, especially if you’ve got a bit of luggage with you for your journey, is just so much easier when you’ve got a bit more room to manœuvre!
You know I’d even go so far as to say I might even come here to look for a card even if I wasn’t passing through the station! I did get some particularly special sparkly wrapping paper for my mum’s 60^th birthday pressie earlier this year, and I’ve never seen anything like it before elsewhere, so I think if I was looking for a really nice card /​gift /​wrapping paper in town and couldn’t find anything that really hit the right spot, I’d come and have a look here. However I would have to expect to pay that little bit more for a product from a store like this, selling premium products in a place like the train station.
