Clinton Cards

This store is a great size with plenty of cards for all different occasions. The cards are always great quality, but quite expensive.
Also what anoys me is the cards dont have the price on them, you have to check the code on the back of the card then try to find a code display that tells you the prices.
They do have some lovely teddy’s and small gifts, which are also a little pricey too.

A nice big shop but far too expensive. I often go into Clintons to look at cards but very rarely buy any!

Clinton cards must be one of the biggest names in cards, the Chelmsford store is a big shop with a good position on the high street, it is often busy with long queues.
Today they had got out a few Christmas card already and were making way for more so some of the displays were empty.
I find their prices very expensive especially for wrapping paper and big cards (I would much rather buy a smaller card but they seem to be making less and less of those).
There are no steps in the shop so access is easy but the counter is really high, being a bit on the short side I find this annoying but it must be very hard if you are in a wheel chair.
The staff are not the most helpful or polite people and do not look after the stock very well. I often find too many cards shoved into the display and ruined.
The shop seems a bit drab and old fashioned.
I never to seem to find cards I like in it, I tried again today but came away empty handed.
They did have lots of cute soft toys and also sell gift boxes and bows.
