Planning ahead with my son being invited to birthday parties during the year and I would like to know where I can get good value birthday cards. Web site links are welcome.


Thanks

    I can't find the kids pack I bought from them anymore, but the book people (cashback through quidco and free delivery codes often on this site) sell boxes of cards. They have some now, just search for cards, but they seem to be general collections rather than kids ones.

    this box contained some kids cards, I can't remember how many though http://www.thebookpeople.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10051_129681_100_500020__category_

    I always find offers in The Works or Clintons where they have so many cards for a few pounds then you can stock up.

    The Card Factory is fab - cards priced between 29p and 99p. The 29p are great, can get ages on, and they don't look cheap. I buy a stack every couple of months :) x x

    Tesco had 5 cards for £1 offer 2 weeks ago. And for once they were really nice cards, and had ones suited to all ages/sexes.

    Tesco (and I assume other places too) also do pack of 10 cards, 2 different designs, blank inside for £2. The packs are designed to certain age/sex though, but they definatly had kids ones.

    I'd second card factory too, especially good for when you need one for an occassion like wedding anniversary.

    Tesco are great for birthday cards - I always get cards from there for kids' birthdays, they're usually about 25p.

    Morrisons do 4 for £1 with a good selection, the card factory is also cheap - I absolutely refuse to spend a lot on cards that end up in the bin.

    The Card Factory do 10 for £1 although the envelopes never seem to stick down.

    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together
