I like Hallmark and fortunately we have three stores close enough to us and one in the mall that I go to.

Ours closed down, I do agree it was expensive, but it was worth it to not have to hunt for an envelope to go with the card like I have to at Wal-Mart.

last fall i looked at a clock for my sewing room - a metal and porcelain retro clock but it was way over $50 so i did not get it. afriend bought it for me for Christmas and I felt bad because I knew she had spent way too much on it, but she had stayed with us for a couple months and it was a combo Christmas and thank you gift. I agree that the stuff there has gotten much too pricey. however, i did buy some cute beach sandals there.

I don't go in to Hallmark.......the one here just does not have anything interesting......they used to but not now and the cards are so expensive. I don't know how they make it in the mall.

I used to love going into Hallmark until the last 10 years........

How nice of you to get your friend something she will love.

Which probably helps to explain why there aren't near as many of them as there used to be!

I haven't been in a hallmark store in years.

Specialty shops will gouge you every time.

Hallmark cards are terrible!!! I hate the sentiments they have chosen on 99% of their cards!!!! The people Hallmark employs to write cards has really taken a dive for the worse!!! They used to be much better written. No more

Papyrus has lovely cards and wrapping paper but it is also very expensive! Who wants to pay at least $5 for a card? And I hate that they put their cards in cellophane. As if these are Monets, Renoir, etc. Cards are read quickly & tossed.

Buying online is not going to be cheaper. You have S&H. Hard to buy cards today.

Hallmark has a line of cards that I really enjoy- the Sunrise collection. Some of the larger stores have them in their own section. And the Barnes and Noble by our house carries the Hallmark Sunrise cards. I love them.

I love Hallmark. Many of their cards are exquisite. I don't mind spending more for people I really treasure.
