Dear old mumsie

My dear old mother has an obsession with buying greetings cards, and more often than not they are to keep for herself, or she might buy one to send on, but then she can’t bear to give it away so sends a boring blank card instead of the funny one she bought. It has literally reached the point of obsession now, where she has st​arted to hoard cards in her handbag, car and house.

Cute Animals + nonsensical human sayings = The Finest Cards Known to Man (and cat)

Birthday cards, anniversary cards, Christmas cards, Hanukkah cards… even Hurray, it’s your Wedding! and Happy Having a Baby cards… Now, this may be controversial but I’m going to posit a theory.

All of these genres of card could be improved with LOL cats.

I know. True controversy.

And let’s get this straight, I’m not advocating the use of the meerkats off the telly, or anything like that. But, let’s face it, what event couldn’t be improved with the presence of a cute kitten with a demonic expression above a tag-line provided by the genius of the internet?

None, that’s what. I mean, sure, the one I chose above might not have been the best example. But in truth I was a little stunned by the wealth of birthday LOLcats out there.

I mean, go ahead.

Google it. Google any word followed by LOLcats. There is no subject too dark or too… well, too odd, for someone not to have created a LOLcat for (or LOLdog, hamster, budgie- there’s no discrimination in LOLcat world)

And imagine the world of possibilities that lies ahead. Instead of giving you Aunty Mabel a lack-lustre card picturing a garden in watercolours, designed in the 80’s, you could be giving her a card depicting a budgie examining a tiny boat whilst musing on its design flaws in a squeaky mis-spelt voice! And they’re (largely) family friendly- something for Mabel (she doesn’t like to look up in the newsagent, because you never know, do you?) and your sixteen year old brother (he only ever looks up in the newsagents…) and all your friends.

They could be in 3D! (sort of…) We could incorporate fake fur fabrics! And a tiny motion activated recording that plays the card’s catchphrase in an unbearably cute voice!

IMAGINE THAT WORLD!

A strokable, practically interactive (well, if everyone you interacted with just said “om nom nom” in a high pitched voice on repeat) family friendly and hilarious greetings card?

Bring on the revolution!

PVC banner: a giant card

Everyone loves a really funny card. If you’re like me, you keep a collection of old cards underneath your bed. I have cards from as far back as my fourth birthday. Of course, while some are meant to be funny, others are just funny because of the terrible or hilarious things that people have written in them.
I still find cards a source of hilarity today. In part because of the different appearances of cards these days. Cards are no More

Story Of A Guy Desperate For Popularity

I find it impossible to suppress my giggles whenever I hear the name Peter Smith. Well, it is a commonly used name and there is nothing funny about the name as such. However, the moment I hear this name, I end up remembering the funniest incident of my life. I went to my university computer library and discovered that the previous user had not locked out of his account. What is more, he had not even shut down the More

Who better than to insult someone than legendary down-in-the-dumps-genius Jane Austen? Head on over to Zazzle for all kinds of awesome insults which you can feel free to sling at people you hate.

Greetings cards ideas – printing

Some of the best cards I have ever received have come from my friend Debs. Debs is quite the artist, you know, and each and every card she sends me is original, funny, and quite brilliant.

Here are three of Debs’s outstanding card ideas for you.

1) Her Rooster: using a potato sculpted into one of her crazy Rooster shapes, Debs is quite the chicken expert. With a huge beak and terrifying plumage, this red-ink on white card card is More

Create your own gifts

I always think how nice it would be to make my own greetings cards for a change. I know it would make my Mum cry – even if I am now 33 years old! However, I always leave it too late and end up popping out to the corner shop in a panic and picking up some horrendous effort with a cartoon bunny rabbit for female relatives or a painting of a steam train for males. You know the kind More

Look on the Far Side

I went through a period a while ago of only buying friends and family Far Side greetings cards when it was their birthday. Or even using them for somewhat inappropriate situations, like the card about domestic violence in plants that I bought for my friend’s wedding day! I didn’t really care what message I was sending with the cartoon that featured on the front, as long as it made me laugh. It could have been a picture of a carte More

A Super Vacation In The Villas of Florida

There’s no better place to be for vacation than Florida. It’s a fun in the sun location that has beautiful beaches and lots of beautiful landscape.

The villas in Florida come at great prices because Florida is a destination area. I have stay in other villas, but I must say that the one that I frequent in Florida is the best. I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that the state is known as a More

Fancy A Bit Of Stupid?

Are you Mr or Miss sarcastic? Are you the person at the office party who can’t stop telling awful jokes that make everyone cringe and fall about with shock and embarrassment? Do you love receiving and sending really stupid greetings cards that you know your warped friend with his twisted sense of humour will appreciate? Then it would seem you’re about to have your socks blown-off (unless you’ve already beaten me to it). Have a look at the following web-site More
