I for one will not miss Clinton Cards. I thought the cards were overpriced, if not extortionate, and frankly I thought the selection and choice was limited and poor, in as much as I could never find anything that was either remotely original, funny or tasteful. The last card I shall buy from Clinton Cards is a “Deepest Sympathy” one for the 8,000 unfortunate staff and the misguided shareholders. The only card the greedy and avaricious directors and senior management will receive in the post, will be a P45!!

The truth of the matter is that these days much of our gift and greeting card purchases are conducted online, courtesy of companies like Amazon and moonpig.com. The great thing about moonpig.com is that the consumer is not restricted to the cheesey and cliched cards to be found at Clinton Cards and of course can personalise the message inside the greeting card. I have lost count of the number of times I have bought a card for a birthday, engagement or an anniversary, and had to cross out the sickly, corny printed message and replace with something that sounded like it had come from me and not an android or alien from outer space!!

So after you have ordered your bespoke and personalised greeting card from moonpig.com, what better than to use an online service that offers personalised, bespoke gifts and presents for every special occasion?!!
