This is a veritable treasure trove; the cards are high quality and you can always find the perfect gift for any occasion. Rachel, the owner, is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Cannot recommend highly enough! Great place to get Joma jewelry.

I am new to the UK and new to Holmfirth I was in the gift horse shop this morning and was requiring assistance and found staff to be most unhelpful if you are going to have a gift shop surely you should be prepared to have gift wrapping being able to be done at your shop it’s a tourist town and a lot of these people don’t have immediate places to go to wrap a present or to send a card I shall not be going back to the shop.
