It’s that time of year again….

Have you written out your Christmas Cards yet?

I may be all done with my Christmas shopping  (said with an annoyingly smug face) but I haven’t even thought about my Christmas cards yet which is unusual for me.  I love writing my cards out, possibly because I always have a glass of mulled wine to drink and Christmas music playing when I write them.  Of course it could be because I always buy a nice new special sparkly pen to write them with or even because it gives me the chance to write a list!

I usually tend to buy a few packs of charity cards for people who I don’t know too well and they’re all sorted and ready to write out.  My team at work all contribute to a giant card that we each sign and donate what we would’ve spent on cards to charity so now it’s  just family and special friends cards that I need to sort.

I was really impressed by the Hallmark cards website, even though I love their cards I had no idea that they had a website but I’m so pleased I know now.  As well as their traditional cards, they also have the option to personalise your card and there are some fantastic ones on there to choose from.  This is one of my favourites, you just upload a photo of your children, which is really quick and easy and then you’re done – a personalised card in no time at all.

You can have the cards sent directly to the person they’re for or you can have them sent to you, which I’m doing, so that you can send them on yourself.

You can buy and personalise cards for practically any occasion on the Hallmark website – Birthday cards, Valentines cards, Good Luck and Congratulations cards, in fact I’m pretty sure that if it’s an occasion, it’s on there!
