Common Deer — Local services in Burlington

I've been relying on Common Deer for years now to supply me with silly + sweet cards for all kinds of special occasions, with gifts for my family when holidays approach, and with goodies to treat myself when I find myself in need of a bit of indulgence! The staff are always keen to help, roaming about with a watchful eye to ensure I have all the sizes/scents/designs I might want for any given product and to rescue me if my hands are full as I browse.

I always leave with something special and a smile on my face. I highly recommend...

I've just seen they've signed the petition demanding volunteers stop feeding the homeless down the street, not surprising at all from these ilk. Disgusting and despicable.
