Hmm. bit too far from mid wales to northern ireland. Freecycle would be good or maybe a local school if they do a fete at some point to raise some funds.0

How about donating them to Social Services or NHS Trust to distribute to older people who might not be able to afford to buy as many as they'd like to send?

I would normally suggest charity shops but it sounds like quite a volume - might be worth asking all the same and seeing if the can put them in storage for next year.
I'm sure some frugal friends family members will take a few for next year though. Especially since it looks like a lot of people will be budgeting for a while.0 -
I think I might just put them up in the roofspace with the decorations for next year and that way I might not forget!"Well, we are a Christian country, it is an important part of our make-up and I don't see any reason to change." David Cameron0

Try taking some to your local Breast Care Clinic, I make Christmas cards and Birthday cards at craft classes, and any excess I always give to them at my local hospital and they are sold to other patients and Nursing staff and the funds help the clinic get extra things they need.Next Tuesday at my class we are all making them especially for Cancer research.Having gone through breast cancer I know how every penny is useful0
