Dear Val,
You commented recently on how hard it is to get Christmas cards in France. How true! And when you do find some the prices are sky high.
We had the same thought earlier this year and, when cards arrrived in the UK wholesalers, we asked our son and daughter to go shopping for us at trade prices. In fact they got a bit carried away and bought enough cards for us, our friends and more!
As a result, we have a good, broad range of cards, all colourful and attractive; some traditional, some more modern. Many were designed and printed for Marks & Spencer, WH Smiths, Boots etc. so all are good quality but below retail prices. Most packs contain 4-10 cards and cost between €1,50 and €4,00 per pack. A good proportion are charity cards, where the makers already donated to a number of good causes.
We are going to bring a selection of our Christmas cards to the Book Swap on Monday 2nd September at the Gazpacho in St Antonin at 10h30. So if TAG readers would like to stock up ahead of Christmas 2013, and save money at the same time, do please come and seek us out.
Alternatively, drop us an email at oberland@voila.fr and we'll arrange for you to see the cards separately, if possible.
xx Chris & Karen
Val says Karen and Chris are also kindly going to make a contribution to our charities, many thanks both.
