The Card Factory

Really really really dislike.
The cards are cheap. In price yes, but also in quality.
Choose one of the desperately cliched cards and you’ll feel just how cheap they are: thin, flimsy, the envelope is probably the best part.
There is a small stock of gifts which are sadly equally as tacky but the range of badges, wrapping paper and gift bags is not quite so bad

Fluffy kittens
Energetic dogs
Animated cartoon figures
Rotating ballet dancers
Triumphant football players
Gregarious golfers
Tilted champagne flutes
Bouquets of roses
Kissing couples
Fast sport cars
& Lonesome landscapes
Looking around The Card Factory is like looking back in time. There’s no concession to modernity, graphic design, fashion or style. The cards seem exactly the same as they were decades ago with the majority of them walking the tightrope between Chintzy and Cheesy.
