A card and gift retailer is set to open in Westquay in the "early summer", the brand confirmed to the Echo.

Scribbler is set to open its 38th shop with its first outlet in Southampton, launching alongside a brand new loyalty scheme.

While the opening date for the new store is not yet confirmed, a spokesperson for the outlet told the Echo that shop would "kick off" with its "Father's Day and Pride collections".

The retailer is known for vibrant and humorous greeting cards that embody the British sense of humour, boasting unique designs that they believe cannot be found anywhere else on the high street.

Scribbler's own brand cards are produced entirely in the UK and are plastic-free, FSC-certified and recyclable.

The brand is also known for collaborations, working with Jellycat in one of its latest, and also sells socks, notepads and gift wrap among other products.

A spokesperson for Scribbler said: "Southampton will be store number 38 for us, and we’re very excited to be here!

"In 2025 we will be launching our rebrand, to bring Scribbler, which has been a beloved high street name for 40+ years, into the future.

"Known for our fun stores, and cheeky, and rebellious products, that offer something a bit different from the norm, the Westquay store will be the latest in our expansion!"
