Happy November! I hope everyone had an amazing time last night whether you were in costume or not. Today marks one of the initial benchmarks of the holiday season. I know we all send a million emails and we use Social Media but I feel that when it comes to Birthday Cards and Holiday Cards, you need to make it from you. This means that I go to my favorite card store Papyrus and I spend a bit finding the best cards possible! I love making sure that I write something personal to each one! My selection incorporates Christmas, Chanukah and Holiday cards. Above are some of my favorite selections and you can get them online if you don't have the option to go to one of the stores.

Start early by finding your perfect cards. During the summer/early fall I like to write out my entire list of people who will receive a card. This way I know how many people I need to get a card for and how many types of cards I need to get. As I continue to meet people once I have a list, I make sure to add it to my list. What I love about Papyrus (especially if you have one of the stores in your town), you can walk by their windows and see what sales they have. Many times, they have a "Buy 2 Boxed Cards and Get a Third Free". Deals like this will help you out. When possible, I deliver cards by hand; however, many times I start sending them at the end of Nov to ensure that the cards have been sent out - it's a process but one that will make you feel amazing and the added benefit - getting a card in return!
