I stick one right on the package. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322424 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 18:15:29 +0000 regberadaisy 2322424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not since my daughter started loving art. I have nice paper that I take out and ask her to make a card. Then I take her "art" and make it into a presentable card. She just finished making a "card" for Daddy's birthday tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322420 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 18:12:57 +0000 BSB 2322420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: @Meowkers: I save them, too. Probably still have my wedding cards from 6 years ago somewhere. I know I have read them at least once well after the wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322419 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 18:12:51 +0000 yin 2322419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I buy cards from Trader Joe's too! </p> <p>They'e affordable and feature artist like Hellobee's illustrator Oana Befort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322413 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 18:09:27 +0000 BSB 2322413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I do. They can be pricey but I think well worth it. At least that's what I think when someone sends me one because its such a nice surprise to get a card in the mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322406 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 18:02:23 +0000 Meowkers 2322406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: I don't throw them out either. I have a box that contains ever card I've received since I was like 11! On a few occasions, I've read through them and it's such a nice experience. I also have a separate box where DH and I keep the cards we write to each other (they are like love letters/notes). I've also started a box for my DD which started with all the baby shower cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322373 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 17:48:15 +0000 FannyMae 2322373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mostly buy them for kids birthdays, so the I buy the cheapy ones that are 5 for $2. I'll only buy the nice ones for special events. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322367 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 17:43:05 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2322367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: me too! I don't throw them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322306 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:47:48 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2322306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dollar store for sure! Or there's 20 packs of generic "birthday" cards that I rack up on for about $5. I can't stand wasting money on something that will be thrown away 😞 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322263 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:25:48 +0000 sunny 2322263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them from the dollar store. We go through a ton for kids birthdays. A few friends with preschooler kids have started hand making cards. I love that! Saving $ and they are super cute :) My LO can't form letters yet, but when she can, we will definitely be hand making cards for her friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322240 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 16:10:37 +0000 travellingbee 2322240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for kids birthdays. We have these kind of "calling cards" that we slip in the gift so they know who it's from. </p> [attach=3175/15/nwa5hp.390x216.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322217 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:59:56 +0000 Maysprout 2322217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely. I don't really like receiving them either. It feels weird to read something then trash it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322194 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:50:11 +0000 Mommy Finger 2322194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I have to, I buy the ones that are a $1. I think they're a waste of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322166 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:40:46 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2322166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Buy or make. I have tried to start making them more and will buy if I don't have time. I also like to look for ones not made in China which I have surprisingly found at the dollar store sometimes.</p> <p>The prices are sometimes pretty ridiculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322157 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:37:14 +0000 Synchronicity 2322157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, but 99% of the time I'll make a trip to the dollar store for one so I don't have to spend 7 bucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322136 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:31:27 +0000 PawPrints 2322136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort of consider them mandatory? Like for people's birthdays etc. But yeah they are expensive. You can buy big packs of them at Costco which helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322123 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:28:45 +0000 avivoca 2322123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I do. I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322094 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:18:20 +0000 Meowkers 2322094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I love them. I love finding just the right card. And I love receiving them as well (provided there is a heartfelt message inside and not just a name) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322044 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:00:31 +0000 looch 2322044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trader Joes had cards for 99 cents, that is acceptable to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2322034 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 14:56:56 +0000 sarac 2322034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Can't really stand them, I think they're a huge racket. I've never cared for them, and I especially don't care to pay a bunch of money for one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2321934 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 14:18:01 +0000 Alivoo01 2321934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I KNOW RIGHT?! I buy personalized ones that I can make on Cardstore so I can somewhat justify the heavier price tag. Otherwise, I just bite the bullet and buy the OTC ones for a baby shower or other occasions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2321879 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 14:01:50 +0000 Mamaof2 2321879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know - I hate how $$ they are but I LOVE them!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-greeting-cards#post-2321878 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 14:01:18 +0000 mediagirl 2321878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did a standard greeting card become $5??? Ugh. I just went through about 20 of them trying to find a decent one and the one I ended up with was $4.95. I guess that's better than the one I had looked at before that was $6.50? </p>
