Buzz Bees Cards is a long-standing independent card, gift and party supplies retailer in the heart of Bedford. With over 25 years’ operation in the town centre, it has now relocated its retail space within the Howard Centre to a new store location (just three units down) teaming up with Harpurs71 & Kempston Footwear as an integrated department-style setting.
New Features & Services:
- A dedicated coffee bar for customers to sit, relax with tea or coffee while browsing.
- Party event services including balloon orders and glitter-tattoo artists for celebrations.
- Expanded product range: specialist greeting cards for all occasions, bespoke card service, and now added gifts, jewellery and home-ware items.
- Introduction of a new loyalty card scheme is in development, giving discounts in-store and across other areas of the department store.
Why Choose Them:
Because Buzz Bees maintains the same friendly experienced team, now with an improved environment and extra services beyond the traditional card shop, all in a central accessible shopping centre location.
Ideal For:
Anyone in or around Bedford looking for a thoughtful greeting card, balloon/party accessory or small gift, especially if you’d like to pause for a coffee while choosing.
Note:
Two entrances to the store: one through Kempston Footwear and another via Harpurs71. The store is in the middle of the three integrated units and marked by the signage for Buzz Bees Cards.
Additional Tip:
For balloon or party-event orders, it’s best to phone ahead to check availability of specialist items. Loyalty card roll-out is forthcoming, so ask in-store about how to register when you visit.
