Greeting Cards For Real People


Where are the greeting cards for real sentiments? Sure, it's easy to find FarSide cow humor birthday cards, double entendre anniversary cards and hearts and flowers for any occasion, but what do you do for those times when you have to give a card, but you don't want to share a laugh or profess false emotions?

You could send one of these cards, from youstupidbitch.com but the offerings are slim and really don't suit some relationships. I can't imagine sending my mom any of the gaping ass ones, for example (though I might be tempted).

No, I need cards that say just, "Happy Mother's Day" or "It's your birthday and I didn't forget."

Here are some other ideas for you card people -

"At least you never burned me with cigarettes.  Happy Father's Day."

"Thanks for not getting an abortion.  Happy Mother's Day."

"It's Christmas and I care enough to get you a card."

"You invited me to your wedding so I'd get you a gift.  This is it."

"Hope he doesn't cheat on you like he has all his other wives/girlfriends."  (This would be good for a bridal shower)

Or, you could just go simple.  How about cards that simply say, "Happy INSERT OCCASION HERE".  No pictures of smiling people or puppies.  No hearts or flowers or sparkles.  A nice, blank card with a simple sentiment.  Is that too much to ask for?
