Greeting cards were once a booming business around Holidays, and they were quite pricey too, especially the Hallmark cards.

With computer, internet, and eCards, I have stopped buying greeting cards for a long time now. If I buy, I usually buy the box or buying from special Organizations where I can contribute a bit to help the whatever causes that they run.

I was surprised to see that Meijer still have many isles of greeting cards in their huge store! It is @dswigle 's fault! Every time I go to a store, I thought "shoo..got to get some photos for #marketfriday" mindset!

I wonder how many people still purchasing greeting cards! As for my family, extended family, and friends, greeting cards seem like the thing of the past! We are now just sending eCard, or text! Fast, convenience and done!

Tell me, are you still buying greeting cards and send them using the post office?

I still buy greeting cards!

And I mail them out too.

Some people pay me to mail out birthday cards for them. It’s a token income for sure but lots of fun.

That does sound like fun! Thank you for stopping by!

I am sending you a card of happy weekend @icybc .thanks

Awww, that's very nice of you :-)

A lot of people spent time in this isle recently. :P

Believe it or not, I still have a pen pal that I write snail mail to. :D

That's wonderful! All I get in my mailbox is junkmail, and bills :-(

I don't buy anymore. I like the idea of purchasing and the percentage goes as a donation.

Churches and schools they have special clubs and sell greeting cards to support them!

Hi @icybc! Hmmm, I can't say that I buy a lot of cards. I do still give them tho. My husband @joechiappetta is an artist, so I usually have him draw a card for special people. I end up saying, "Can you draw me a baby, or birthday cake? " a lot 😉

Oh that's wonderful! My daughter when she is with me, and if the occasion rises up, she does the card making too! It's personal and special..You are lucky to have him doing that :-)

We still buy cards for birthdays, that's about it. A few Christmas cards too.

That is very nice...I haven't receive a real card in a long time..Thank you for visiting!
