CloudyBlue

An independent gift shop on Rosemount Place in Aberdeen, full of cards, prints and candles, many with a local theme and many designed by the owner.

Call

Welcome

CloudyBlue is a gift shop with a maker behind the counter.

It stands on Rosemount Place, the lively street of independent shops just west of the city centre, and it is run by its owner, Amy, who designs many of the cards and gifts herself.

Inside, the walls are lined floor to ceiling with greeting cards, and the shelves are full of prints, candles, homeware, books and little presents, many of them with a Scottish or Aberdeen theme, from local scenes to a guide to speaking Doric. Amy will happily personalise a card or a print while you wait, which makes it a good place to find a gift with a personal touch.

It opens from Tuesday to Saturday.
