The Christmas Chic Boutique


December is just days away, so it's time to start thinking about Christmas cards.  Money is tight for everyone this year and Secret Santa and present buying budgets are what it's all about - we all need to make our money go further.  So although we are not giving gifts to all our friends, I think it's important to write and send cards to our nearest and dearest.  

Now, I love social networking and technology - but sometimes a tweet, poke, text or e-card just doesn't cut the mustard.  There's nothing quite as nice as receiving a handwritten card through the letter box (and none of your Moon Pig nonsense either; a card with an actual handwritten message inside please).
 
This year make a pact with yourself to set a side an evening and put pen to paper and write Christmas cards to the special people in your life.

I have discovered some gorgeous handmade cards that would stand out amongst all the generic robin and santa cards scattered across the supermarket shelves at the moment.

The Christmas Chic Boutique has a range of beautifully handcrafted quirky cards at very reasonable prices, all  handmade by the talented young lady Laura Crothers.

Reindeers - Christmas Puddings - Baubles - Mittens - Bows
(Free Personalistion)
£1.50 for 1
£6 for 5
£10 for £10

On receiving my delivery I opened the packet to discover each item individually wrapped in gold tissue paper with black snowflake stickers - love the attention to detail (and if you open them carefully you could re use the paper - check me out with my save the environment tips hey!!)

It's not just cards; they also make notice boards and wooden hanging signs. 
My personal favourite item (that shall be hanging on our hall wall with pride from next weekend!) is the wooden sign saying - "There's No Place Like Home...At Christmas"
