I remember when I was a kid we would get all kinds of holiday cards in the mail. It seems, as I've gotten older, fewer and fewer people send out holiday cards. This is kind of disappointing to me. I love getting and sending out holiday cards. I find it more personal than an email holiday greeting and I think getting cards in the mail is a nice reminder that somebody is thinking of me and my family!
I will, of course, continue to send out holiday cards. Since we don't live in the same area as our family, I like to send out photo cards. That way family members and friends get updated pictures of the kids every year! Last year I ordered cards from Shutterfly.com and absolutely loved the cards. I've already started looking at the different styles of cards Shutterfly has to offer for the holidays this year! I'm having such a hard time choosing the one I like best! There are tons of styles to choose from and the quality of the cards is fantastic! It's great that the cards can be personalized, which saves me a bunch of time during this busy time of year.
Another great thing about Shutterfly is I can do a little gift shopping on the site. Last year, I ordered a photo book for my in-laws. It was easy and fun to make and the price was right!
This year I think the calendars might make a nice gift for my parents and in-laws. It will also be a great family project. I'll let the kids choose which photos they'd like to include for their grand-parents.
I can't wait to design my cards and gifts for this year. I hope others will be inspired by everything Shutterfly has to offer and send out holiday cards this year as well. I'll be watching for them in the mail.
