With Love Yorkshire Cards and Gift Shop Opening

About Us

Beth and Clare are two local ladies who believe passionately in the power of shopping locally and being part of a community.

Beth quite simply loves cards! It was always her dream to work in a card shop and so when the opportunity came up for her to work on her doorstep in the shop she had always admired, it was too good an opportunity to miss.

Then when the previous owner of the shop, Anne announced that she wanted to retire after 37 years, Beth started to think about how amazing it would be if she could actually buy the business herself. Whilst on holiday with Clare and their families she mentioned her little idea to Clare but explained how she didn’t think she could do it as she had never before run a business.

Clare is a solicitor who has been MD of Thornton Jones Solicitors (with a branch in Sherburn) for many years is experienced in running the business side of things but has never worked in the card and gift industry, and so the conversation continued and a new partnership was formed!

Beth works full time in the shop and is responsible for ordering and developing all the stock we sell and Clare is in the background doing all the businessy type things!

We have lots of ideas to develop our offering into the future, including plans for some online presence, click and collect and even a reminder service where we can remind our lovely customers about their loved ones birthdays or special occasions, make some suggestions of possible gift ideas and then even gift wrap them so they can be collected and given …… with love!
