How comes in Clinton, even the simplest card is at least one and a half quid?

Somebody somewhere is laughing very, very hard...

Tel,

Wouldnt mind but I always try and buy 'humourous' cards, eiher my SOH is twisted or their cards are just $hit!!! They are a licence to print money for sure, I use www.moonpig.com great service and you can personalise the cards, not cheap but they seem to have better ones than in the high street shops.

Student Bloody Lamo.

I usually phone and say Happy birthday in person, but I am a bit skint tho.

Now you're onto something ID - the whole culture of sending cards. Birthdays, Christmas, Father's Day, Mother's Day, anniversaries, the list goes on.

I don't have any friends or family.

At least that's what BT told me in a letter the other day. I thought that was a bit personal really

Well, it shows that they are quite perceptive about their customers.

I used to work for one of the largest greeting card manufacturers in Europe and it is a license to print money, The most expensive card on our books which sold for about £10 cost 39.7p to produce.
I always buy the budget cards at Asda for 28-99p. Any more is a waste and I'd rather get them a better pressie. The thing that shocks me though is those gift boxes. £5+ just to wrap it up. Get stuffed. Make no wonder Clintons have a new store in the mall near me that's nearly as big as Debenhams.

I've never really thought about it before! Will be making my own now from pva glue and glitter

Clinton's are opening up big stores all the time.

how the hell do they do it?

I get my cards off the market, not coz im a stinge, but coz they only go in the bin, its the thought that counts, and gives me more to spend on a prezzie of some sort...
