LMAO my mom actually just let my sister and I know she has a special box with all of our cards from when were kids put together. My sister is newly married and sends cards for any and ever occasion, abandoning the internet for an even less sincere approach, but I just am going to throw my box downstairs with the rest of the stuff I "plan on keeping when I own a home" and forgetting about it.
I see 0 value in cards. A call would be more sincere, meeting in person would be most. Why drop $3 when you can go see the person and wish them a happy birthday in person? You want me to write down what I could say to you in 5 seconds? It's like people don't give enough credit to personal interactions. I got you flowers for your birthday, something living that you can take care of, and you wanted me to get a card to say "Enjoy the fucking flowers" next to it so you can remember it? I dont and wont do it.
