Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: None

...Greeting Card Maker. With my Wife not being too well at the moment she was given this CD package by her sister. (Picked it up in the pound shop) ?!? Simply put the first CD into your computer and follow the 'Install' instructions. There will be a shortcut on your desktop, click it and away you go. There is a choice of 'Tutoring' or 'Skip it'. Which is self explanatory, Tutor takes you through all the instructions on the CD, Skip it takes you to either 'create new' or 'Saved'.

Card Factory

Advantages: Great products at low prices
Disadvantages: Long queues and some products a little tacky

...Card buying can be an expensive thing, especially at this time of year and as much as I love the quality of the cards in stores such as Clintons, with my large family I just cannot afford to buy all my family cards from stores such as these at Christmas. So I was pretty impressed with Card Factory opened up a store in my local town recently. For me this store offers good quality products, but at really cost effective prices. Obviously their main market is the card market. They offer cards for all occasions including birthdays, anniversaries, moving, sorry, thank you and general cards too. Their cards are priced at 59p for a small card, 89p for a medium card and 99p for a large card, which for me is excellent value for money. They do extra large cards which do cost a bit more and they also do a couple of cards in each range for just...

Nectar Card

Advantages: Lots of retailers to collect with
Disadvantages: Online points may not equal amount of cashback available elsewhere

...The nectar card is the loyalty card associated with Sainsbury's, however it has since branched out and is affiliated with many companies which allows for maximum point collecting! Let's start with the basics, you get 2 points per pound spent at Sainsburys or 1 point per litre of petrol bought at the Sainsbury's petrol garage. Each point accumulated is worth half a penny, so you need 2 points to equal 1 pence. If you redeem your points in store at Sainbury's then you will need minimum 500 points for £2.50 off o your shopping. Points need to be redeemed in increments of 500. Points can also be collected in other stores, for example Dolland and Aitchinson also give 2 points per pound, as do Homebase. As far as I am aware however, you cannot redeem your points against your total bills in these stores. Points can also be collected...

Greetings Cards that send a Message of Hope

Advantages: Send hope to those in danger or unjustly imprisoned
Disadvantages: Postage could be expensive

...The tradition of sending greetings cards for Christmas and the New Year started back in 1840, and for me the best thing about it is sending cards to people I see very seldom during year, and receiving a card and some news from them. I usually try to buy charity Christmas cards in the hope that a few pennies will go to third-world countries or other deserving causes, although we are told that the percentage that is given is very small. A couple of years ago I found out about Amnesty International's greetings card campaign, which seemed a way of doing something more constructive than simply buying charity cards. Amnesty provides details of people all over the world who are at risk, for example prisoners of conscience, people under sentence of death, and human rights defenders under threat. We can offer hope and encouragement to these...

Moonpig Gives That Special Touch To Greetings Cards

Advantages: Different and good quality
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Everybody knows the Moonpig advert which really says something about their clever advertising campaigns. Yes, they are expensive, but using the service is so easy and the cards are very special. I have used them for a couple of special birthdays recently and I certainly would use them again. The Moonpig website is very easy to use and when you land on the homepage you see immediately which categories are available. You do need an account but that is easy to do and you can store addresses there it you want to. Once you have done that you can start designing your own card. Click on the category you want and off you go. It is very simple and you do get the option to change your mind should you want to. There is a huge range of choice here from conventional greetings cards to funny ones with spoof adverts on them. It is sometimes a bit...

Oyster Card

Advantages: Convenient
Disadvantages: You could lose it!

...We Londoners are insistent people. We want cheap travel to anywhere in one of the biggest cities in the world. We want it regularly, without delays and seven days a week?if possible. Not too much to ask then?oh and we want a convenient travel card rather than paying with cash for each individual journey. Of course. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the Oyster card then. For those who don?t live in London or perhaps have never even stepped foot in the capital, the following paragraphs may read like absolute gobbledegook, but trust me, I think I know what I?m talking about and I think it makes sense. The Oyster card is basically a form of electronic ticketing used on public transport ? buses, some National Rail trains, trams, underground and the Docklands Light Railway system within Greater London. The blue card, which costs just a £3...

Make a Bee Line for the Nectar Card !!

Advantages: A good way to save for the extras at no extra cost
Disadvantages: None at all.

...THE PURPLE CARD IN MY PURSE THE NECTARCARD I have owned a Nectar card for many years now - in fact my card is the old design and I keep forgetting to upgrade it!! "WHAT IS A NECTAR CARD ??" The Nectar card is a Loyalty or Reward card. It is NOT a credit or debit card and is free to join. Nectar is owned by Groupe Aeroplan Inc., and it is estimated that more than 50 per cent of UK households collect Nectar points when shopping for groceries, booking a holiday, paying household bills, buying petrol and even eating and earn Nectar points every time they shop online via Nectar eStores at over 220 leading online retailers. The scheme was started in September 2002. It is not actually a Sainsbury's Loyalty Card as the Tesco Clubcard is for Tesco, although Sainsburys and BP are the key members in the scheme...

Moonpig.com for all your greeting card needs

Advantages: Easy ordering, good customer services
Disadvantages: Made a mistake, although they made up for it

...I?m not normally one for spending a fortune on greetings cards, I don?t really see the point of paying a fortune for something that ends up in the recycling a couple of days later. However, my niece is getting married, and as people regularly keep wedding cards until they have something to tear up when the divorce comes through, I thought I?d splash out. I decided to go for a personalised card from Moonpig, so tottered off to their website at moonpig.com. The first impressions of the website are good, they have pictorial displays of the major card types, birthdays, personalised, Me to You, etc and they had a large box for Father?s Day at the top, so presumably this changes depending on the next special occasion. Down the left had side there is a complete list of card types, which for ease I?ve copied and pasted for you here, rather...

Review of moonpig.com

Moonpig.com - reasonably priced, personalised greeting cards.

Advantages: good value and innovative ideas for that special occassion
Disadvantages: none

...I first discovered Moonpig.com after reading a review on Ciao no less! If I am honest I have previously heard the advertising jingle in the background on TV, but the tune irritated me and so I just ignored it, thinking it was an advertisement for car insurance. Yes, I am aware that that is a bit dense - but I am exceptionally good at selective hearing. **What is Moonpig?** Moonpig is an online company which sells personalised greeting cards. The company has a range of cards for all occassions - whether you are searching for Wedding or anniversary cards, birthday and Christmas Cards, good luck cards or Father's day cards, you can pretty much find a card to suit your needs here. **What is meant by 'personalised cards?'** Basically, you can choose from a range of card designs and add your own personal touch. For instance...
