Hallmark All Occasion Handmade Boxed Set of Assorted Greeting Cards with Card Organizer (Pack of 24)—Birthday, Baby, Wedding, Sympathy, Thinking of You, Thank You, Blank
$ 0.45
This box set of cards is amazing, I’m so pleased with the quality of paper, the beautiful and fun designs on each card and the variety of cards included. All of the cards are made with high quality paper and include a plastic sleeve to protect the embellishments on the front. The set is primarily made up of birthday cards with messages but several other occasions are included too like wedding, anniversary, baby and sympathy as well as a couple that are blank inside.This would make a great gift for *anyone* but specifically the elderly or any person with mobility issues. My mother in law is getting older and has started using a walker. She frequently asks me to stop and pick up cards for her for different occasions and she doesn’t always like the cards I pick! Recently we had our wedding anniversary and she shyly gave us a blank card with a sailboat stating she was embarrassed she couldn’t give us a “more beautiful card” but she didn’t want to ask us to buy our own card and she hadn’t been able to get out and purchase one herself. That’s when I decided to put something together for her so she’d have a ready supply.I had no idea they made sets like this outside of bulk holiday or thank you card sets. What a great idea for just about anyone to keep on hand! If you’re looking to make a gift set too, I decided to add to this set to make it a bit more useful for her. I added a pack of Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday cards, a set of thank you cards and a set of any occasion blank cards.. all Hallmark sets found on Amazon (and excellent quality.) I also added a fancy stationary pen, pretty envelope stickers and a book of stamps. I think she’ll be very pleased and I plan to occasionally reorder the different styles of these sets to keep her in stock. The prices of $25-$30 for 24 high quality cards just can’t be beat.. last time I bought a card at the drugstore it was $8. Thanks Hallmark!!(Update: She did like the set but asked me to buy a few birthday cards that were “less cuties” and “more appropriate for men.” There is also only one anniversary card and she needed a few. I hand picked about a dozen cards to add to the set and then she was very pleased with everything. The only other issue we had is with the envelope count. The set comes with exactly 24. She had made an error when addressing one and needed a new envelope. She was worried she would run out of envelopes before her cards and I figured more mistakes were bound to be made. They sell really affordable greeting card envelopes in 12 and 24 packs on Amazon so it was an easy fix to add to her set. And the additional cards and envelopes fit into the box, it’s pretty much full now but you can definitely add to this set probably another dozen cards and still have room to comfortably thumb through them.
