What’s Hot in Cards and Gifts, Sheffield?

Carl Dunne, owner of Cards and Gifts, Sheffield did not adapt well to the start of lockdown. He just so missed the vibe of working. While his partner Oliver Guise-Smith building a website from scratch did cheer Carl up substantially, especially as orders for cards and balloons took off straight away, it was clinching a lease on a second store in Dronfield, another part of the city which really got him smiling again!

Now with two stores and a vibrant website, Carl was only too pleased to share some of their best sellers…
