Hello,
Can someone help me understand the meaning of this sentence?
"The family abjured store-bought cards, deeming the cloying quips to be too mawkish to express proper sentiment in a tasteful manner."
I know the meanings of the words but I couldn't understand the sentence.

Here the scenario
He or SHe went to the store to buy a set of cards. Maybe a gift or else
However, his or her family rejected this set of cards - I.E they said was not good for the following reason
They showed figures or else (maybe the captions on them) too sugar-coated or oversentimental to be the right gift.
Therefore, those cards were not suitable for the purpose
I hope now is more clear
