    I keep a christmas box and stick all my old cards in there, i use them every year until they have run out. I am sure that nobody would really care if they were given a card that wasn't bought for that particular christmas, or would they???? Seems very odd to me!

    I do the same, any cards which I bought in Jan 2005 sales that I havent used for christmas 05 will go into my box in the loft along with the cards I got for 49p and all my leftover wrapping paper etc. and will be used this christmas, if people think I'm a cheapskate then that is their problem, I just see it as recycling on a grand scale !!!!!

    WHSmith Bluewater today only had Simpsons and Narnia wrapping paper left. Did get some cards but I reckons some of their packs wont even sell for 49p, they are SO HIDEOUS. Their buyer should be sacked.

    Yep i always buy my decs, cards and wrapping paper in january - saves me loads! i also try and go for some with non christmas stuff - like plain or strippey to use for birthdays (bhs had some half price 1.49p) which is fab for birthdays throughout the year.

    I managed to get a few bits in our whsmith at 49p but i was just a little to late!

    Despite the fact that we are a third of the way through the year, WHSmith still have Christmas stock on their website.

    Some of the gifts are very Christmassy so would only suit those people who want to get ahead but other gifts would be great any time of year.

    Some of the gems I have found in stock

    Football Gift Pack (Book and Alarm Clock) - 3.99
    Full size roll of Sellotape - 49p
    DVD+R 25 Spindle - 3.99
    Christmas Birdie Pen - 39p
    Simpson Christmas Circular Jigsaw - 99p
