Brightlingsea’s Independent Card, Stationery and Gift Shop

Come and see the Town’s largest selection of greetings cards

Sadly because of the additional financial burden put on us following the Government’s spring announcement we are having to reduce our opening hours. We will now close at 5:00pm everyday. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, if the situation improves again we will revert to our preferred opening hours.

Spirals has Brightlingsea’s biggest selection of greetings cards on show.

But we’re more than just a card shop – we’re the Box Office for many local events, a place to pay utility bills and the DART charge, somewhere to find the perfect gift for a loved one, and the best place in town to source office and stationery supplies. Got a parcel to send? we are agents for UPS the worldwide parcel delivery company.
