Humour: Alison’s Animals from Splimple

Humour: General funny cards from Country Cards

Humour: Ladies Who Love Life from Berni Parker
“These appeal to more mature ladies and their friends. They’re lovely cards that just sell.”

Traditional: Across the board from Cardigan Cards
“These are one of our best sellers, the quality cards have nice inserts and lots of heartfelt words. Customers feel like they’re getting good value.”
Traditional: General from IC&G
“The variety and prices are good and the service is great, but then so are all the publishers we deal with.”
Traditional: General from Words ‘n’ Wishes
“The designs and expressions of the words are lovely and there’s a great choice of occasions and relations captions.”
Traditional: Decoupage, All The Rage, Help For Heroes from Noel Tatt
“These sell really well. First-rate designs and good value. On the Help For Heroes range, customers like it that some of the money from the sale goes to the charity.”
Children’s: Jellybeans from Grass Roots
“From grandson, granddaughter to great grandson and great nieces (ages 1 to 10), there’s a fantastic offering of juvenile relations birthday designs.”
