Advantages: Gives you something to read over your toast Disadvantages: Not good quality, over priced, useless customer services
...This morning I received a studio cards catalogue through my letterbox after quite some time without one. The reason being I was so fed up with the service and poor quality goods, I never bothered with them again. What is Studio cards? It's not a shop. It's the same as "Ace" cards and gifts and runs on the same principle. It used to be just mail order only but now they have gone online. You can obtain a copy by scanning through the Sunday paper magazine ... ...form, an envelope addressed to Studio and a "Back to School" leaflet selling lots of pencils, ruck sacks etc.
The catalogue itself is 451 pages long, not too taxing on the brain and certainly no where near as large as the Next catalogue or as heavy. The pages are quite flimsy so any heavy hands beware; this includes my 8 year old.
The first 100 pages or so is dedicated to Christmas. With items such as cards, wrapping, bows, tree's, lights, calendars, ...

...been a regular shopper with Studio Cards and Gifts for many years now and because of the extensive range of goods offered throughout each season, the excellent service provided and the reasonable prices, including discounts (details listed at read of catalogue), I will continue to use them for many years to come.

...have been a customer with Studio for just over two years now and until recently have been really impressed with them. The quality of the products has been high, and the customer service phone number has always been answered promptly.
Studios bring out a number of catalogues and brochures throughout the year, but are probably best known for their Christmas Book which was the first one that I got. They now have Spring, Summer and Autumn Living as ... ...Prices are reasonable and recently Studio have started to Price Match with Argos to ensure that their Prices stay reasonable.

...Basically I've been a studio catalogue customer for at least 5 years - and can honestly say that until now I've had no real complaints, ordering mainly at Christmas and maybe once or twice during the year.
My problems began when I called and placed an order about 3 weeks ago. Fine the orderline was helpful enough - all the goods were in stock and I should receive my order as soon as possible. Having waited 3 weeks I assumed that they were just busy ... ...be writing to them - for which I expect no apology or explaination and I shall also write to Equifax with a begrudging £2!!

Studio cards & gifts is an ideal catalogue to have floating around the house. Especially if you are busy Mum trying to jugle everything plus find time to do birthday, christmas shopping. I came across Studio when I was reading HEAT and their insert was in there. I thought ok I'll send away for the catalogue and see what they have to offer. Their catalogue offers great deals but be aware that not all of their products are as good as a deal as it may ... ...properly! Studio offer a introduce your friends scheme in which you recommend studio to a friend and when they place their first order you recieve a £10 gift voucher. The most you can recieve is £50.

Studio catalogue. Your one stop Spring Shop! (Their words, not mine)
Firstly If you haven't heard of Studio before read on, if you have you may want to skip the what? sections.
What is it?
~~~~~~~~
Basically it is a catalogue like all others. You order, you receive goods. You receive statement, you pay.
What do they sell?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Initially Studio just sold cards and gifts but these days they have really widened the range. In the HOME ... ...This is the original bits Studio sold. There is quite a mixture here, pens, pet bits, wedding invites to name but a few, but they can all be personalised. The section continues with all the quirky little gifts you buy on special occasions and all the cards and gift wrap you could possibly ever need.
Finally comes the CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR section which is basically that. A few cheap bits with some designer labels chucked in.
What makes them different?

Advantages: Convenient. Shop from the comfort of home Disadvantages: Poor online ordering service, don't rely on getting the goods
...was first an agent for Studio cards about 10 or 12 years ago, when I used to earn some commission on products I sold to others. Consequently, everyone was forced to use the Studio catalogue to order their Christmas cards etc. I did that for about three Christmasses in a row and then forgot all about them, what with a new job, new house etc. Then in November a shortened version of the catalogue dropped through my door, tempting me with everything ... ...in the pouring rain. Fortunately Studio seal everything inside their boxes with plastic, so nothing was ruined. But then there was a flat rate postage of £3.50, I wasn't expecting Fedex. However, it didn't take long for us to realise this box was a little small for the number of items we'd ordered. That would be because about half the items we ordered were out of stock. Not a great problem, since some of the items were "additional" little gifts for ...
