So I’m walking through the store and need to get a card and this should be an easy process, but it honestly takes me like 15 minutes (I’m so indecisive). I sift through good cards, bad cards, really pretty but expensive cards- we’re talking $8.00 people… not on this budget!
I was recently introduced to Treat by Shutterfly, an online company who can customize greeting cards and other kinds of gifts. This is perfect if you’re like me and are obsessed with pictures (and let’s face it, most of us bloggers are) and want to add that personal touch to your greeting card.
When I received my cards I was in love! The pictures looked amazing and the quality of the paper was great. I wanted to hand address these myself, but Treat can address them for you and send the card straight to the recipient. Cards are around $3.50 each, but you can buy 6,18, or 24 packs making them as low as $2 per card. Not a bad deal, I’d say- just add a stamp and some pretty return address labels and you’re ready to go!
Obviously I had to make one for Ryan’s birthday but these super cute cards can be sent for any occasion. I also sent some words of encouragement to a new first year Campbell PA student because who doesn’t love getting some snail mail? Treat has cards for pretty much any occasion, as well as other fun personalized gifts.
I’m sure some of you have seen this cute little cartoon- I think it sums up how our communication has changed over the years. Apart from bills and annoying credit card offers, this girl absolutely loves getting cards and snail mail. My grandma & I have been writing letters back and forth ever since I moved away for college and it’s something that I look forward to and it always brightens my day. So next time you’re in need of a fun card with that extra something, look no further than Treat to add that personal touch to your snail mail!
I have so many little things coming up that these cards would be perfect for!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love this!! Today is Colin's birthday and I totally wish I knew about these beforehand!
I love snail mail! And that little cartoon is so spot on, ha! I'm with you on the side eye to the $8.50 cards! I mean WHO spends that on a CARD? I'm loving the personal touch of treat and the price point!
OMG how cute are these!?!? Love this idea! And you're right, regular cards are so expensive and so impersonal!
