What card...?

[Vermilion]

Is there a greeting card that you would really like to find, but noone seems to make? Perhaps it's a particular design for an existing 'hallmark' event, or perhaps there's a whole event being missed out. Please can you let me know here....?

For example - I wish there were more 'new baby' cards that weren;t so pink and frilly. Maybe a cartoon or something funny.

hmmmm...
I see some potential here.
(probably potential to fritter away my time)

I wish there were cards that said something along the lines of: "I'm sorry you're stressed. Who should I kill?"

hee hee hee

how about 'Truce!' cards?

You mean "I'm sorry you're an idiot. Can I smack you around?" cards? Sure! We could use some of those!

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

You guys are creative! Do something with it!

How about Special Favor Certificates in lieu of gifts?

 

[Chantilyvamp]

How bout a 'Sorry to hear about the breakup, maybe now you'll fucking listen to me when I tell you to run!'

I love that one! Agreed, we desperately NEED cards like that.

Now as to how the recipient would take it one would never know but I am tempted to make it in a homemade card and send it just to test the theory

I often find myself hunting for a card that says less. Apparently, the good people at Hallmark are of the opinion that nothing expresses one's profound condolences like poorly written verse with the cadence of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Cards with attractive images and a few simple and straight forward words are surprisingly hard to find.

 

[THROBBS]

yep.
NEed some simple ones too.

"Bitch!"
"Idiot!"
"God, I Love you!"
"You are AMAZING!"
"wow"

and even some without "!"

"Words cannot express how you make me feel"
(inside)
"Unnnnnnnnnghhhhh!!!!"
or "Mmmmmmmmmmmm"

The masses love rhymed couplets. Anything beyond "Awww" and "Youre hot!" is too abstract and produces headaches.

On that note to tie in with it could they please not make everything such a flowery sayings *gags on the sweetness* Half the time they don't fit for members of my family. Less is better.

Me too! I have the worst time finding appropriate Mother's Day cards. They're all frilly and flowery and too wordy. A simple "Happy Mother's Day. I love you." would suffice. I could do without the rest of that saccharine-sweet goo.

 

[BlackShanglan]

I think we've found our market opening.

 

[THROBBS]

Can't a few of them have goo?
I like goo.

 

[Chantilyvamp]

I like goo.

goo ones are okay every now and again so yes you can have a few

 

[THROBBS]

YEESSsss!
I'll splatter a few with goo, then!

Maybe in the states... There's a pretty good range of non-poetry cards here.

How about 'It's the anniversary of the first time we fucked!' cards?

Now THAT's a card that'll sell. I think it needs to be submitted to the Shoebox devision of Hallmark.

It's definitely thoughtful and guys are more likely to remember that anniversary than their wedding anniversary. Maybe the nana could grace the front cover of the card?

I make my own.

I'm funny.

I wish Shereads had her own line of cards.

 

[Belegon]

I use the blank cards or ones with very little verse

How bout a 'Sorry to hear about the breakup, maybe now you'll fucking listen to me when I tell you to run!'

How about just a generic "I fucking told you so!"
