No More Store Bought Cards For Me! Not Since I Found Greeting Card Universe!

I was first contacted by a lovely woman from Greeting Card Universe back in September. Before I visited their site I was skeptical, that didn't last long. After one visit, I was sold!

When I first agreed to do a review of their cards I was given the opportunity to select five free greeting cards. Four of these in this photo were what I selected. I chose the Holiday Card Category featuring Cats because whenever I would search in the stores for holiday cards that featured cats,  they were few and far between.

When the cards arrived I was so pleased that when it came time to order my Jewish New Year cards, rather than purchasing cards from the store, I chose to order my custom cards through Greeting Card Universe! Those were selected and purchased by me.



Also, when I first agreed to do a review of their cards I was not an affiliate for Greeting Card Universe. Guess what? As of Sunday, I am! I chose to become  an affiliate because I am more than satisfied with the selection of cards, the number of various card categories, the quality and the price. (If you wish to purchase any cards check out the widget on my side bar.)

I had become tired of purchasing cards at mainstream venues such as drug stores and grocery stores. My husband and I had a running joke of seeing how many cards we could purchase each year that were  duplicates of what we had given each other in the past!!
Thankfully those days are long gone!

You can "find any card imaginable!" on Greeting Card Universe. You can search or click through their categories. You can buy your cards "as is" or customize your cards with your own photos, verses, etc.

From Greeting Card Universe: "Producing high quality custom greeting cards has been Greeting Card Universe's goal from its inception in 2000. Greeting Card Universe is the world's largest online greeting card store. Personalize your own card and we'll ship it to you or directly to the recipient. Over 1000 new custom cards are added each day!"

  13. @Admiral Hestorb, I agree and I love the menorah too!

    @Kim, that is what I like about this site. Everything isn't the same "run of the mill" stuff. You can get hard to find things here and I just adore that. Let me know what you think once you check it out!

    @Brian so glad that you like them! They ARE first class! I LOVE to send cards and the cards on their site make me want to send more and more! You could even frame them if you wanted to!

  14. I send hand made photo cards. And I always wonder if I end up sending the same photo to the same person over and over. I should keep track!

  18. Hi Cathy! (and everyone who mentioned checking them out) I have a widget right below the PetFinder widget, you can check them out there if you would like to. I bet you could find a hilarious card for your Pop. I hope his surgery goes well! I love the Menorah card too!

  19. There is nothing like a personal greeting card rather than one of those generic ones from the store that you've seen/received a dozen times over. Plus my birthday is 3 days before christmas, so growing up my parents had terrible trouble trying to find me good cards as the stores were completely emptied out for xmas cards! At least buying online you get a good selection all year round!!

  20. Congratulations on your boob job cards? People actually send those? I have to go and look just to see that!

  21. @kitcaboodles I never thought about that with birthdays by Christmas, birthday cards being hard to find. That is a good point!

    @houndstooth, I know!! Do you believe it? I guess there is a card for everything!

  33. Hello Caren & Cody! What a wonderful blog by a fantastic tabby cat and their delight human companion! I'm a fan, having a silver tabby myself :-)
    I am one of Greeting Card Universe's artists and just wanted to stop by and give a cheer as I'm always happy when we manage to convert another cool cat over to our greeting card store! Thank you for sharing Cody with all of us!
