Birthdays Card Shops

At the moment Birthdays have five cards for £1.00 - has been like it for just over a week. On quizzing the assistant today (who turned out to be the manager) they have lots of stock to shift as they are having new stock - something to do with Clintons buying them out and not wanting to stock 79p and 99p cards.

Worth a look as most people I know throw their cards away!

    I got 10 today - a really nice selection of cards :D

    Ideal to keep at work 'cos i'm ever so good at forgetting birthdays :rolleyes:
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    the works always has cards 4 for £1 and more posh ones 2 for £1 - very nice & usually a decent selection - don't buy mine anywhere else now unless they're reduced!
  • Card Factory have 7 cards for £1. Quite nice cute types of card but fairly good quality. Suit male and female
  • I make all of my cards with the free postcards you get in bars, gyms etc. some are really nice illustrations or photos. All you need is some pre-folded coloured card from paperchase or suchlike, some glue and if your're feeling flash some sticky gold stars! Cost less than a pound and much more personal.
