Shopping with cardfactory
Choosing between cards and gifts
The site is organised around who a card is for, such as Mum, Dad, daughter or a male friend, which makes it quicker to narrow down a greetings card. Birthday and occasion cards sit alongside boxed Christmas cards, and Seasonal Cards cover events like Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. If you need a card and a small present together, the Gifts section lists options by recipient, occasion and price bands such as under £5, £10 and £15.
Personalised and photo products
Personalised items are a strong part of the range. Cushions can be made with photo uploads, names or custom wording, and the Personalised Gifts area covers other made-to-order lines. Check the product page for exactly what you can change before you order, as options differ from item to item.
Balloons, party and Halloween
Balloons are split into foil, latex, number and bouquet styles, plus helium and accessories such as weights and ribbon. The Party section covers decorations, tableware, candles and fancy dress. Halloween has its own range of costumes, decorations and balloons, so it is worth comparing the Super Size foil balloons with standard sizes if you need height for a display.
Collecting in store
If you want balloons ready for an event, the Click, inflate and collect service lets you pre-order arrangements for pick-up in store. Use the store finder to check which branches are nearby before you choose this option over home delivery.
