Cynthia’s Hallmark Shops

I’m pretty sure this place doesn’t exist anymore. Or I’m an idiot and can’t find it at the mall.
4 stars based on previous pleasant experiences.

I still send greeting cards. Go ahead and judge.
Birthday cards, Congratulatory cards, Sympathy cards, Christmas cards. Multi-​ethnic holiday cards. Thank you cards
Money envelope cards. :)
I even use postage stamps. This store has them all and many more knick knacks.
Friendly and helpful staff.
We were just here recently, and purchased several happy birthday balloons, and a happy birthday card.
It was my Grandma’s birthday. We went to the cemetery to gather along wih family.
I remember Grandma would ALWAYS check the back of a card she received and would comment like:
«Ahh, eets ah Holmahrk! Djoo espent too mats, tree dallars!!!»
(Aha, it’s a Hallmark card, you spent too much, $ 3.00, ha)
In my card, I wrote
Grandma, I cooked pork adobo again yesterday, and I added a couple more bay leaves. Everyone who ate are still alive. But Kim told me that something was missing again.
I just wished you were here to slap me on the back of the head and tell me what ingredient I messed up on, hahaha.
I miss you.
Love,
your FAVORITE,
Marwin.

i have this tormenting disorder:
i *must* get all immediate family members birthday cards… and they *must* arrive on their actual bday (saturday if having a lame sunday bday). OCD? overly thoughtfulness? lil of both? do these people really care? id like to think so :) getting bday cards in the mail is one of the best parts of a birthday. countering the roughly 345 days of junk mail and bills.
problem is, the last few years I have completely forgotten to prep to perfectly time my mailing of said cards the day before :-| light bulb flashes at work the morning of, with a big ol’ «DOH» coming out of my mouth. people tell me, just mail it out tomorrow. no, no. getting this card out on time for my loved ones is such a small, hardly-​any-​effort gesture IMO, and i cant half-​ass it.
so…down to UTC on my lunch break I go.
I HAD been going to bookstar to get cards for a while. the selection sucks honestly but its right next to USPS so I can get it stamped and out.
WELL GUESS WHAT? I just found out hallmark started selling pre-​stamped envelope with some of their cards. for $ 3.99? sheesh, some cards alone dont even cost that.
now im thinkin im not the only person who forgets to mail out cards on time… ingenious concept for us forgetful, overly thoughtful people :)
(ps, UTC mall is a horrible mess right now, wow. wonder when the remodeling is done)

**Store closing 2÷26÷12
Hallmark is my go to card store. They have a pretty big card selection and various other products (gift wrap, frames, photo albums, plush items, flip flops, balloons, wine glasses, figurines, ornaments, etc.). They also usually have at least a shelf or two of products that are on sale.
The line here can be long, however, it goes by quickly as the people who work here are fast and friendly. Sign up for the Hallmark card and you can get coupons mailed to you.

I had to buy a card and decided to visit the hallmark shop to see about their selection.
To my amazement, they had a variety of cards to choose from. I found myself reading different cards for 30 mins. It became addicting. I finally decided on the perfect one and presented it to the cashier. She was very personable and rang me up quickly.
They also have other novelty items to choose from in case you need a last minute gift. Located next to Boudin and near the Nordy’s side.

There’s a friend of mine at work that got me into the Hoops & Yoyo characters from Hallmark. As the closest Hallmark store near my place closed over the summer (RIP, Elam’s Hallmark), I stopped by here while I was at Westfield UTC to look around.
While the Hoops and Yoyo merch was paltry, this Hallmark location has a lot of stuff to peruse. From the Christmas ornaments on sale, to the bountiful selection of Precious Moments figurines, to the myriad of cards available to purchase in different price ranges, Cynthia’s Hallmark has something for everyone.

This is one of the larger Hallmarks I’ve been to. Like any of the others, they have a large selection of various cards, along with various gifts. Reasonably priced, pretty much what you’d expect from any other Hallmark.

I like to make my own greeting cards on occasion, but this time I wasn’t in the mood and creative spirit. Thankfully, there’s a card shop located nearby. Cynthia’s may be another Hallmark store but it’s a little different from others, like Patti’s in Clairemont.
Most Hallmark stores have a typical array of card lines which includes Shoebox (humor), Fresh Ink (clean and simple) and music cards. Even Maya Angelou has her own collection of cards. In my quick browse through, I noticed that they’ve got a better collection of stationary, Disney and Thank you cards. In addition to the cards, they also have the requisite stuffed animals and other quick gifts.
