I am in need of Christmas cards. I have found a handful around me. I really like the Korean Christmas cards. Some are funny in a goofy/unintentional way. Some are really nice and tasteful. I want to get a whole bunch.

I will be bouncing around Seoul tomorrow for shopping and such. Could you suggest anywhere that has lots of Christmas cards? Any Christmas card bonanzas? Thanks

When I last checked, Alpha's in Namdaemun had a big selection of nice/goofy Christmas cards. It's in Namdaemun's stationery alley. The cards are actually stored outside of the store on the ground level, by the row of children's stickers.

Post Office.

HomePlus - the one near where I live has a huge selection. Every year I get a very nice Korean one for my mum and she likes it very much.

Also when I bought my christmas cards last week, I found that my HP had Hallmark cards, so I bought a few for friends within Korea, too... I am sure they don't want a Korean card.. Razz

I went today. I was able to find a handful to buy at Alpha in Namdaemun.

The jackpot was Bandi and Lundi's (Jongro). I now have way too many cards, and I was still holding myself back (everyone I got was unique). Looks like I'll be sending cards to everyone...

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

I 2nd Homeplus. The cards I bought from there were just lovely high works of art, but had an interesting unique oddness that just made them a hit back home. The post office holiday season cards are also high works of art and are extremely cheap cheap. Emart also sells them, but tend to not offer as much nor the quality that Homeplus offers.
