If there is a movement to rid our society of these things, sign me up.

Unless they have money or something in them, the recipient doesn't care about the card. Hallmark and companies like them have convinced "us" we need to give cards to others for almost any reason or holiday... but we don't.

They suck to pick out... are pricey unless you go to the dollar store - at which point, what IS the point?

They suck and have outlived their "usefulness".
 
Yea sure, I hate buying or receiving those things.. Nothing says I love you like an $8 peice of cardstock

We need cards. I mean, I don’t want to be out here buying people presents for their birthdays, Xmas, valentines, etc.

A card is the perfect way to say “Oh look, I thought about you so you can’t bitch that I didn’t do anything for you this holiday” without spending much money

Actually, what it says is... I don't really care about you that much. So here's some paper that says something that I marginally mean or wasn't as bad as the other options.
 
There was a good 5 year span where I literally kept rebuying my wife the SAME Valentine's Day card.

She got tired of it and said I dont have to keep wasting $8 on the same card every year...
 
Nice little trick if you're gonna keep with the cards. Read the card next to the one you pick and add the message to the card you buy..

Makes you look so thoughtful
 
I can never find a card that says what I would actually say... unless I buy a pricey one. Always end up getting one that "isn't the worst".

I broke away from those cursive lovey-dovey ones to my wife because that's not me, and she knows it.

Old people still like cards... but like I said, their usefulness is up.

Must be nice to own or run a company where you can halfass creation of product but KNOW it will be purchased because society thinks they have to.

This gives me an idea. Maybe from now on I'll just take an envelope and fill it with the $8 and write a short message on one of the bills...

If it was me I'd rather have the cash than the card

Unless you're from the older generation, yep.
 
cards are worthless. millenials will kill that industry once the old farts are gone

Exactly, everyone knows that. But cards are all about cya (cover your ass)

You are looking at this from the wrong perspective, the receiver. Of course no one cares about getting the cards, but cards aren’t sold to them ... cards are sold to the giver.

From the giver perspective, it’s just enough to ensure the receiver can’t bitch about you forgetting about their birthday or whatever. Even they don’t like it, they can’t say anything about it.

It’s like the trump card. You both know what it means, but they are forced to recognize that you remembered them, no matter how shitty they feel about it.

I do... but I have no idea what they said. Nor did I care unless it had cash or a gift card inside.

But you can’t be like “awe, Gma forgot my birthday”

Gma didn’t forget your birthday, and if you complain about only getting a card from Gma, you look like a chump.

GMa wins
