    Anyone know of a shop that sells unusual funny cards. I've had luck in the past with designist on Georges st but seems anniversary / partner is not an occasion they cater for.

    Article or maybe Avoca if you're on that side of town. Yelp is handy for finding places that do stuff like that.

    SWALK in Hibernian Mall off Dawson a Street always has a great selection of all types of cards. Also moonpig online if you have time.

    I'm surprised designist didn't have something to suit.

    I didn't hear that and hope it's still there. I can't say for sure when I was last in it. I used to work close by and would pass it every few days, not so much now.

    Yes, that's a shame, it was a lovely card shop. :(

    Found the unit for rent on Daft:

    I was heartbroken when SWALK closed, I absolutely loved it!

    Article is a good spot for cards, Industry on Drury St is good, Carousel on Exchequer St, Folkster in Temple Bar, someone else mentioned Avoca, I think they've expanded their card range recently.

    I'm trying to think of where I was recently and saw a good selection - I love cards, especially blank photographic cards, SWALK were the best for them, if I think of any other places I'll post it.

    Definitely Paperchase in Arnotts or Dundrum. Have bought lots of lovely cards from here and myself and husband bought each other wedding day cards from here so they would have something suitable for partner/anniversary.
