Sky
Established in 1976, what began as a quirky card and poster shop has since become a multi award winning shop/gallery and picture framers in the heart of Clifton Bristol. Still famous for our wonderfully diverse range of cards and paper products, we have over the last two decades also built up a great reputation for selling beautifully framed art prints and providing a fantastic bespoke framing service.

I was there with regard to the 'rude and aggressive management' comment. I would say it's exactly the other way round: rude and aggressive customer letting her children run riot and damaging stock.

Miserable sods in this shop, and they act as if you're a burden in their shop. I've been in a few times and each time have been met with irritation and hostility when standing there waiting to be served, seemingly interrupting and upsetting the women behind the counter chatting amongst themselves. Go elsewhere.

Terrible terrible service. The owner is totally miserable - almost as if she resents having to serve you. No please, no thank you.
Have given them several chances as they are a local business but some businesses just dont deserve local support.

Appalling customer service. The owners act like they don’t want your business! I have given this shop the benefit of the doubt but will be stopping at the third chance. I have witnessed the owner accusing a customer who had just paid for card of already taking the cards when the owner had in fact dropped them on the floor behind the counter, rudeness when asking if I can pay with Apple Pay ( I was buying 5 cards at £3+ each!) and, whilst trying to support local business on one of the late night Christmas shopping events a was rudely asked to return to
the front door and leave an (empty) mulled

Great little shop selling cards, gifts and wrap, art prints and framing service. Slightly pricey as to be expected in Clifton village! They made me a custom size mount for a decent price, collected same day.

I love visiting this adorable card and print store when I am in Bristol.
There are so many stores that I loved that are gone in Clifton, but I am so glad SKY is still there!

Clifton can feel a little overrun with seemingly useless gift shops but I recommend that you give Sky a chance. In the centre of Clifton village it is primarily a card shop but they have a great range of gifts too.

Sky have a really great range of cards - they have some really out of the ordinary ones as well as some gorgeous prints and some that are actually funny! I love the wrapping paper and packaging they have too - it is a one stop shop for all the trimmings you need to go with a gift.

I would not say the staff go the extra mile, but they are friendly and competent.

This shop has some

This is a very stylish shop which has thought about every detail in order to create an enjoyable browsing experience. The first thing you see when you go in is a display of gorgeous thick wrapping papers, in lovely stylish designs. They're pricey, at about £1.90 for one sheet. If you want to make a real impact with your gift-wrapping, the paper and trimmings (ribbons, curly bits), Sky will serve you well.

The selection of cards is brilliant here, and the display is pleasing to the eye with a big chalk board above it heralding each section: birthdays, new home, congratulations, etc. I would

With a name like Sky there are certain prerequisites that one would expect to be upheld. For starters it must be a clear and blue place surely. Second it must have a light and airy feel and finally you have to feel free.

Here we have a shop that ticks all the boxes with flying, umm colours. To say this is a shop that sells greetings cards and wrapping paper may very well not be putting it in the truest light possible. Rather it is a shop where artistic expression has run free and splashed pieces of art onto card and paper like the sunshine. More so it's a place where soft jazzy grooves

Big open shop which I would say is strongest in their stationery - unusual brands and a great greetings card selection. At the moment they have sweary christmas cards which were making everyone chuckle in the shop.
They also have a framing service and some prints in house. The prints aren't dull but they aren't unique either.
As I say, my favourite bit is their stationery - notecards and diaries that make great gifts for someone or a treat for yourself.

Sort of a gallery, sort of a framers, and sort of a card shop, Sky is happy-go-lucky place where you're sure to find stylish art or (if you don't have that sort of money) snazzy cards.

The exterior is blue (like the sky, get it?..) and its light and airy inside. Unlike some places selling art it doesn't feel buttoned up. You can just have a wonder round without feeling like you should have three hundred quid in your wallet. The card selection is really good too. It's a little sophisticated - you won't find pink teddy bear cards here. I like this, if I wanted something
