Want a unique and affordable gift that is certain to endear you to a friend or loved one?
Card showers have become a popular way to celebrate milestones or send an abundance of good wishes to someone who needs cheering up. A successful card shower makes a wonderful gift for a friend or relative. This may be the age of e-mails and text messages, but most people are still delighted to receive cards/letters in the regular mail. Imagine receiving 80 cards for your 80th birthday or 50 cards for your 50th wedding anniversary!
Unfortunately, the planning of such a big surprise is time-consuming and relies heavily on other people. You don’t have much control over whether they will actually mail the cards to the intended recipient.
Why not throw a mini card shower instead? Did a friend just start a new job or buy a new house? How about graduate from high school or college? Do you know someone who recently suffered a loss? What about someone recovering from surgery or going through treatment for an illness? All of these people would be surprised and pleased to receive five (or more) cards from you as you check on how they are adjusting after the recent change in their lives. You can decide if you want to send the cards on different days or one per week or all at once; it’s completely up to you.
