I recently came across Cardstore.com,where you can select and personalize a card and have it sent for you through the U.S. Mail.
Of course, they have more than just Mother's Day cards. There's birthday cards and other holiday cards, too.
I checked it out and found that:
- the cards are attractive, and there are many to choose from
- it is simple and quick
- the cards can be personalized with your own photos
- it is very reasonably priced
I think this is a great idea. Being able to select and send a card quickly and easily like this sure beats the old way (going to the store to get a card, preparing the envelope, and affixing the stamp - at least we don't have to lick them anymore) in my mind...
...not that I really send cards, anyways. But, now I have that much less of an excuse. What could be simpler?!
I wonder how many people currently use this service or would be interested in it. Or, which of you usually send Mother's Day cards, birthday cards, etc? And, what motivates card giving? I just added a couple related polls on the right side of my blog, so check them out. I'd be interested in the feedback. Or, leave a comment telling me what you think.
And, if you're thinking of sending a Mother's Day card, you'd better do it now before it's too late...

it's a good idea, but that doesn't make me like it anymore. there is something very beautiful about getting something in the mail, for precisely all the reasons you just listed (going to the store to get a card, preparing the envelope, and affixing the stamp) when you send someone a card, it's more than the paper- you get all the work that went into it. (i send a lot of cards, because i think it's important)
Meli, thanks for your comments. I'm honestly not a big card person (on either the sending or receiving end). However, I do appreciate written notes/letters and though time and thought behind them. So, I am thankful for people, such as yourself, who take the time and the effort to do just that. For me, though, I think maybe a service such as this might just make it easy enough for me to actually do, whereas I probably wouldn't otherwise.
