    Cards are the biggest waste of money. Any time I get one in the mail, I’ll read it and it goes straight to the recycling.

        I kept the wedding invitation card from my step brother and my now step sister in law for several years.

        It was just a folded piece of regular cardboard with a picture of them and a standard invitation message and I see them once a year, if even that often 😄

    The only cards that are worth something to me are the ones with personal messages in them. If it’s just your signature, it’s going in the trash tomorrow.

      I buy the bulk pack of general purpose gift cards. Some have got flowers on the front. Others say Happy Birthday in gender neutral styling. They’re all blank on the inside. I write messages to people. The pack of 20 cards costs about the same as two of those shitty pre-written gift cards.

    That’s a great idea!

    Go to the flower shop with your wife and I give her the flowers and I get a hug. Then she puts the flowers back and we go home. Such an awesome idea!

    I gotta ask my wife. Is yours available? Oh my wife said no. But I’m sure someone will do it!
