Do you know What I HATE....
« on: 16 December 2006, 10:51:54 »

....about Christmas.....lol its not a religious thread i`ve started.... :y

The PRICE of individual Christmas Cards ( or any other individual greetings cards)

I dont mind the fact ive spent close to 2 grand on my wifes birthday and christmas (8 days apart) and also our sons christmas.
I dont mind, in fact, i love all the traditions.

But how can it be justified....£3.99 for a bit of cardboard and some soppy words....

Guys you KNOW the score, you could spend a fortune on her but if you aint got a nice card....your in the doghouse.

Spent £15 yesterday on 4 cards  :'(

Merry Christmas though everyone :)

Tesco: £1.34 for a pack of 50 'Humorous Christmas Cards'. They were OK, though not really funny. Still good value….

If you REALLY wanted to get a nice card, you'd steal a design/caption from one in the shops, then go home, open up Publisher and recreate it as best you can, then print! Home made cards go down best as you put more effort in :D

Saying that, I bought all my cards from the shop this Christmas  :-X

Why not consider buying some cards from a Charity. This way, you know the money is doing some good. I got mine from people who paint with their mouths and feet, www.mfpa.co.uk. The cards are quite reasonable about £9.85 for 8, and the money helps disabled people :)
