Why do women love receiving greeting cards? What is the point of those bits of expensive paper anyway? Back in the day they used to be cheap . . . like a dollar a card.

Ideas
- Online greeting cards can work as well. However, we've found that the sites with the free cards are a bit…meh! Might be good to invest in a yearly subscription to one you like and then send all your greeting cards this way. They usually let you save special dates in your account and then send you reminders when something is coming up… mum's birthday, anniversary etc.
- Use a handwritten note instead . . . but it should be on nice paper, folded VERY neatly and in it's own envelope. Go to the dollar store and invest in a simple notepad with matching envelopes. They will be near the ‘Thank you' notes section (ask if unsure). It shouldn't cost you more than $5 all up and you'll have enough paper and envelopes for at least 10 personal notes.
- Cheat idea – Create one in Word or with similar software that you can print off at home or work. Easy and cheap!
