In fact, our customers love the \u003cb\u003e“Men Who Love Life”\u003c\/b\u003e collection more than I ever expected and the range of \u003cb\u003ebirthday cards for young children\u003c\/b\u003e has proven to be popular as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eNow, as we enter our seventh year of running White Orchard, we are proud that our number one selling line of greeting cards comes from Berni Parker Designs.
