This is a good card shop to come to when you have to send a card but really don’t want to spend that much money.
I’m not sure why we send cards to people we don’t like enough to pay more money for a prettier picture, but we all do it at some point. This is where you come for those cards.
The cards on this store aren’t Hallmark or any known brands with any famous characters on; they’re mostly your standard flowers and teddy bears kind of thing.
This is not to say that there aren’t some nice cards here. I picked up a lovely congratulations card here when I was struggling to find one that wasn’t specific to an achievement and didn’t have flowers on it or too much pink. It’s actually a pretty good stall for that kind of thing.
There’s a pretty good range, a lot of cards to choose from and they’re all very cheap. Cheap and cheerful; no more, no less.

Here are a couple of scenarios where you might need to send a card…
It is someone-you-know’s: birthday/​anniversary/​christening/​wedding day/​leaving party
Someone-​you-​know has or had: a baby/​an operation/​a divorce/​a university degree/​a bad photo on the frontpage of The Sun/​a prison sentence/​dandruff
You have run over your neighbour’s dog/​you drank all your housemate’s vintage booze while they were away for the weekend/​you forgot someone’s birthday or anniversary or wedding or name at a crucial moment, like in bed with them. In these cases you should opt for the Sorry Card or one of those tasteful blank verse kinds in which you can write a suitably grovelling bit of bad rhyme.
CJ Morgan is a market stall that sells a lot of cards — arty ones, cute ones, funny ones. And badges. And cuddly toys. They are quite cheap. That is all you need to know. Oh, and the fact that each card comes with a free envelope.
