    Hi Jammie -

    Depends how many you need, but if you have a M&S store card - in the current M&S magazine they have printed a £1 voucher to be used when you spend at least £1.50 on a card, so you could get it for 50p. OK if you know several people with a M&S storecard!

    Clintons £1 'value' cards are actually very nice and excellent quality. I think most are plain for your own message but a very good selection for male and females.

    Clintons currently have a decent selection of cards for 79p. They include some handcrafted ones, I picked a few up last weekend.

    i'll second that, i work there at the weekends. the 5 for £1 are hand finished and are really nice + can get a card for just about anyone in that range :D
    ;)
  • A poster on paidtoshop forum said Tesco have some 40p each or 5 for £1.
    They may be on seperate stand not in the card aisle, one to look out for.

    I wish we had one of these near us, their website doesn't seem to offer locations but checking on yell.com/bt online phonebook they are too far to travel to from here.
  • Phoenix-trading.co.uk have just put prices up to 1.20 per card but still excellent value for quality especially if buying 10 or more they're 1.00 each. You even get a brochure to flick through and choose the ones you want instead of trawling through the shops. Perfect lol

    Have to second the cheaper clintons range also. They're nice quality for the price.
