No good card shops, sorry. I live about 15 miles south of SLC. Not much to do this time of year either, unless you are a skier/snowboarder, but there's not much snow yet this year because it's been so warm. In the summer there are some really good hiking trails and outdoorsy things to do, but this time of year things are just kind or brown and ugly. You can go downtown to temple square where they have lots of christmas lights and stuff, but the crowds are heavy. Most of the history in the city is mormon related so that may or may not interest you, if it does there are quite a few historical sites. If you go to temple square you can see the tabernacle which was built 150 years ago with no nails, it's amazing acoustically and there are always concerts this time of year. As an ex-mormon myself I have kind of a love/hate relationship with this state, one of the frustrating things is the wacky liquor laws and inability to get draft beer over 3.2% ABW.
Hmmm, let's see what else, Utah's capitol building is just north of downtown and is impressive considering the size of the state, it can be worth a half hour for a self guided tour. It's also up on a hill so you get good views of the city.
One thing about SLC, there are quite a few really good restaurants. Let me know what kind of food you like and I could definitely give you a few recommendations.
How long will you be here? Let me know if you want to get together for some watered down beer and a peek at my new Black Swamp Find Wagner!

Nothing like an 80's show, but pretty decent.

Which show is this? Maybe I should check it out.
