Have you ever opened a Christmas card and had a sense of deja vu? It might be that you've already had a couple just like this one (it's one of the more popular ones being sold by M&S this year...) or you recognise it as the design which a major charity sold ''last'' Christmas - and which they started selling off at half price in the Boxing Day Sale. Either way, you don't feel particularly ''special''. An embroidered card is lovely, but not everyone has the skills and if you buy them they're a frightening price. But I've just discovered a relaxing, satisfying way of producing individual cards at a reasonable price: ''The Colouring Book of Cards and Envelopes: Christmas''.
You get 24 cards, plus envelopes and stickers for a cover price of £9.99 - that's less than 42p for a unique card: you'd be hard pressed to pick up a decent card for that price in the after-Christmas charity sale and there would be hundreds just like it. These cards are unique - you get the outline, but it's going to be your choice of colours and the medium which you use. I've had a satisfying result with crayons and felt tips - but the choice is yours. The cards are of good quality and reasonable size - 13.5 cm square - and I didn't find that there was any bleed through onto the reverse which would have been a spoiler.
