Carlton Cards Marketplace, Scarborough Reviews (1)
The truth is, I love greeting cards. I love to give them, I love to receive them. There was a time that I would spend an hour in a card shop, lovingly picking cards for friends and family. But the card shops have really changed. For one thing, at a time when the greeting card is not as popular the prices have become outrageous. One card can cost you $5-6, or more. It has to be a pretty special card and an extra special loved one to be getting that card. Add the price of wrap to that and well....you might as well say goodbye to a gift.
This store in particular was one of my favourites. Lots to look at. Now it seems, well, empty. Lack of selection. The sale items were also a draw, but no more. At Christmas the average cost of a box of cards was over $20. I might have paid that if I could find something I liked. So, I am afraid my trips to this store are few and far between. And much to the family's surprise, so are the greeting cards.
