I went to the Card Factory and cleared the shelves in their January sale – wrapping paper is being flogged for pennies
AN ORGANISED shopper has revealed how she stocked up on wrapping paper and gift tags for 20p in the Card Factory sale.
Caroline headed to her local high street store in search of some post-Christmas bargains, and hit the jackpot when she found two metres rolls of wrapping paper for just 20p each.
“I just thought the little bears were so cute,” she said in a video on her TikTok page.
She also got a pack of red gift bows for 20p.
Caroline was also on the hunt for some gifts for next year, and managed to get a cute wine glass with “Auntie” written on the front for just £1.25.
She also got a couple of little stocking filler type sets – including a hand cream set and a lip balm trio.
“They didn’t have very much little things like this left in stock but these were both 75p,” she said.
“So I got this hand cream set which is so cute, I’ll probably keep that for myself to be honest.
“And then this little Disney princess lip balm, which I’ll probably give to one of my cousins.”
Caroline also couldn’t resist a cute dachshund soft toy, which came complete with a Santa hat, as it was just 99p.
“I had to buy him,” she admitted.
“I’m going to gift him to one of my cousins next year. He’s just so cute and he’s the same colour as my dog.”
Also on the gift front, Caroline picked up four little gingerbread-themed bubble bath houses, for 32p each.
“I thought that would be so cute to add into hampers because I do like to make hampers and I hardly made any this year, so I’m definitely going to make some,” she said.
“Especially for November birthdays, because then it’s like they can use it throughout December and it will be so cute!”
She also got two boxes of sticky gift tags for next year’s Christmas presents, as they “come in so handy” and were just 20p each.
And she got “really excited” when she spotted boxes of luxury Christmas cards for just 24p each – as she’s planning to give them to her dog-walking clients next December.
Concluding her haul, Caroline picked up three big gift bags for 40 or 50p each.
“And yeah, that was everything I got from the Card Factory sale,” she said.
“75% off sales haul! best time of year for sales,” Caroline captioned the video.
“I wouldn’t be able to keep gifts for next Christmas,” one person admitted in the comments section.
“I’d be itching to give it them!”
To which Caroline replied: “A lot of the ones that aren’t xmas themed will go into birthday gifts / hampers!”
“The glasses were £0.62 online, they also had a daughter one,” another wrote.
“I got loads of bargains, thankfully I got on early!”
“Bargains,” a third agreed.
