When should I buy Christmas cards?


Although some people will tell you that the only time that you should buy Christmas cards is in the January sales, it’s a shame that you restrict yourself to what hasn’t sold. While the 50-75% reduction on cards is very tempting, do you really want to send your nearest and dearest last year’s left overs? For most of us the answer is a resounding no. 

In this case ensure you buy your cards when you have the greatest selection from which to choose from. This doesn’t mean buying up your cards when they first appear in some shops at the end of August, as you won’t be able to see the full range available – and who wants to think about Christmas so early anyway? Instead wait until early November to start looking for your cards; by now most stores will have their whole collection of cards available for purchase, but you will have bought them in sufficient time to have them written, addressed and sent without the whole exercise being one huge rush. Although there will be plenty of choice still available into December, by this point you won’t have the time to necessarily look around so many stores and mull over your options, forcing you to make a snap decision and perhaps buying the same cards to send to everyone.
