Clouds opened in 2006 with the aim of providing a fully comprehensive gifts and party planning service to Southport and the Merseyside area. With a wide range of gifts from plush toys and balloons to cards and other accessories available, Clouds also offered a party planning service based on several years of experience in setting up events for private and corporate clients on both small and large scales.

Upon opening Clouds became the exclusive outlet for the Flying Bear gift range in England, which has swiftly become one of the most popular and unique personalised presents on offer instore.

A giant card and banner service was soon added to the gifts range on offer, which gave customers the opportunity to create a personalised gift for any occasion which could also be kept as a memento for any and every occasion.

In addition to gifts and party planning Clouds also drew on their years of experience of embroidering to add a comprehensive embroidery service to customers - a wedding invitation design service was also added to compliment the existing party planning services on offer enabling Clouds to offer an all round planning and decoration service for wedding days and receptions.

Later on in 2006 investment was made in garment printing equipment to give customers an even wider range of gifts and services at Clouds, this service was further expanded in early 2007 to offer greater choice, wider options and value on the printed gifts available in-store.
