Glasgow West End: Pat's Guide to shopping: Galleries, Cards and Gifts

The West End has a great range of card and gift shops. These are some of my favourites:

Felix and Oscar Felix and Oscar's De Courcy's Arcade, Cresswell Lane, Glasgow G128AA. Tel: 0141 339 0269- the coolest shop on the planet. A perfect mix of fun and fashion, it brings a little bit of magic to the West End shopping scene.

Nancy Smillie also in 53 Cresswell Lane, (334 4240) is one of the better known designers with a great range in ceramics. This is a lovely shop with a small gallery attached selling paintings and furniture. The shop is really interesting and very tasteful. Read the full feature

Papyrus

374 Byres Road, (334 6514). Modern and attractive with a wide range of cards and gifts. I love their candles cards and their cook shop, which is a boon to serious cooks such as our own Lindsay Hopwood. You are also likely to see chefs from local restaurants pop in for utensils. Papyrus has something for everyone - children find their selection of fancy pencils and fascinating knick knacks.

I thought it was strange that you have no included Cassiopeia which is a great wee shop in Hyndland Road. Their website is http://cassiopeiaonline.co.uk which give a great flavour of what they offer.

Just been to visit glasgow and was looking for gifts. Went to some of your suggestions but cannot believe you left out one I discovered. Galletly and Tubbs in Great Western Road. It is worth taking a look as it's better than any you have suggested.
