So, how long has it been since you've received a tangible greeting card in the mail from a friend or family member? If it's been awhile, and you're not an ogre or living out in a cave somewhere (meaning that you DO get mail from other people -- i.e., billing statements, magazines, credit card offers and other USPS mail), then, it's totally possible you're like the rest of us and the greeting cards you get and receive are e-cards. I've received my share of a few in the past several years and have even sent some. No, they're not really all that special, as in the tangible card of days gone by, but an e-card has become an easier way to deliver a thank you, happy birthday, announcement, etc. Sad, but true.
I miss receiving cards in my snail mail though, don't you? I mean, real tangible cards that I can open and hold, love and save, for years to come. But, like most of you, I've succumbed to the ease of the online e-card. I guess it's because I don't really like going to the store with my preschooler and toddler in hand to find a greeting card because, after a few short minutes, my time is up. One of them always has a meltdown. If I haven't found the card that speaks to me by that time, I'm out the door with nothing, and my time is wasted. So, what's a mom to do? Well, your perfect solution is to shop online at Tiny Prints!
