Doees anyone else have trouble buying nice birthday cards close to xmas ??

[nutcracker]

Every year i have the same prob. All of my kids birthdays are in the next few weeks and yet again I can't find any nice birthday cards for them.

Do the shops think that nobody has birthdays in november and december or what

My DS1 is a Dec birthday and I found that I could never get him a decent card. Now I buy one when I see one whatever time of year and put it in my pressie box. I also stock up for friends with Dec birthdays. Took a while, but I learnt the hard way lol.

Yes thats what i need to do i think

Hope you find some good ones soon.

Agree it is totally hard to find one for dh also in Dec.

we can still get nice birthday cards at this time of the year - you just have to go to the furthest, darkest corner of the shop to find them

So maybe I should have thought about DS (1st birthday on 22nd November) a bit sooner?

Will have to go and hunt out all the dark corners of card shops I think

What about craft fairs for homemade ones? I've just made a load for Church and decided against doing chrimbo ones, I did birthday and other occasions instead.

Have you tried Moonpig? Very good imo

yes - must remeber to get one for dd soon or wil be limited in choice and teh poor lady in teh card shop will be down in the storerrom looking for suitable cards again
