I went to our local hallmark store today to pick up a gift that was on one of my friends wish list for her 40th birthday. I went ahead and picked out a card, some gift wrap, bows. The gift was a little expensive but it's for a good friend so I didn't mind. But when I added up the cost of the card and gift wrap oh my gosh the prices were insane. I just kept saying to myself it's all for a good friend lol. Usually I get cards and gift wrap at other places so much cheaper. I just can't believe how expensive Hallmark has gotten. Does anyone shop their local hallmark store.

Abby, no...I don't shop there. It is a little expensive, but I think your friend will love what you got her.

All of our Hallmark shops closed . We have several Papyrus stores and they are much more expensive.

I used to love Hallmark. They are mostly all closed here. I suspect they will be no longer in existence as a standalone store in not too many years.

Our local store closed last week. One day they were there, and the next day they were gone. I understand that they were not given any warning. I agree that they sold nice things, and I'm sure your friend will enjoy her gift.
