Cards Plus

**UPDATE**
They are currently holding a ‘closing’ sale with everything at half price. Some amazing bargains and the good news is apparently they are not actually closing permanently, but just refurbishing

Though this shop does a lot of cards (as the name suggests) I tend to go in for the stationery side of things. This is quite a large shop, and as a result the range is greater than you’d find in the average card and stationery shop. Of course they have all the basics: pads, pens, tape etc. But they go a little further, with a larger range of the basics than you’d usually get, and sometimes something unusual.
I’ve got some lovely pads with metallic covers for a very reasonable price here. Single unusual (e.g. padded, boarded) envelopes are also a good price. They also sometimes do bulk bargains, such as one I got for card folders. If you are buying in bulk you might do better in a big chain, but for small amounts, and if you are in the area, this is definitely a place to sniff out a few bargains.
