What are All the Benefits of Greeting Cards?

Tricks & Tips - February 4, 2022February 1, 2022

There are so many benefits to sending greeting cards. They’re an opportunity to express feelings, stay connected and support a thriving industry in a digital era.

Cards show that you care

A benefit of greeting cards is that everybody loves receiving a hand addressed envelope. Knowing that somebody sat down and took the time to write and seal a letter specifically for you, is a nice reminder that you’re appreciated.

To illustrate the first benefit of greeting cards, image shows hands writing a letter or a greeting card on the left. On the right the image shows a man smiling as he takes a greeting card out of the envelope.

Greeting cards are tactile.

Sending a greeting card is a way to share our emotions with one another in a real and tangible way. Whether you’re sharing sorrow with somebody, or celebrating a huge milestone. Cards are something we can hold in our hands or display proudly in our home.

Having a stash of greeting cards is great for when you need to send a card at short notice. They are also a more personal way of reaching out instead of a digital message.

They aren’t instant.

Tapping out a text can take less than a minute. Spending a bit of time crafting the perfect message in a greeting card really shows that you care. Not only did you go through the effort of composing a heartfelt message, but you took the time to choose the perfect design, buy a stamp and take it to a post-box. This small bit of extra effort shows that you’re invested in nurturing your relationship.

To show another benefit of greeting cards, the left side of the image shows someone writing a greeting card. The right side of the image shows somebody putting a letter into a Royal Mail post box.

Cards make us happy!

Not only do cards make the receivers happy, but there are emotional benefits for the sender too! Taking the time to write out a thoughtful message is a great opportunity to reflect on how lucky you are to have your relationships. It also feels great to make other people happy with our messages.

There are many more benefits to sending greeting cards. They make us feel good and they are a great way to support independent businesses. The list of reasons to send someone a card is endless, so it’s great to always have a few on hand. Whilst it’s important to remember the big things, such as birthdays, new babies or anniversaries, there are also lots of benefits to celebrating the little things in life.

Why not check out our fabulous range of over 5,000 cards and start feeling the benefits? Grab your first Wuzci box from just £1 here!

What is Palentine’s Day?

Tricks & Tips - January 31, 2022January 31, 2022

You’ve definitely heard of Valentine’s day and you may have heard of Galentine’s day, but what is Palentine’s day?

An alternative to Valentine’s day

Whilst most people celebrate their significant others and romance on Valentine’s day, Palentine’s day was set up to celebrate a different kind of love! Commemorated on February 13th, this celebration encourages you to share some love with your friends. Whether it’s your childhood bestie, your uni flatmate, or your workplace pal… Palentine’s Day is the day to let them know you care about them!

Many can find the time around Valentine’s day, particularly those who are not in a romantic relationship, have recently got out of a romantic relationship, or identify as aromantic! Making February a time not just for romantic love but platonic too means everyone is included and everyone gets to feel the love of the most loving month!

Palentine’s Day vs Galentine’s Day

Made famous by Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation, Galentine’s Day was posed as an alternative to Valentine’s day that celebrated female friendships! The difference between Galentine’s and Palentine’s is that Palentine’s doesn’t have to be celebrated by exclusively female friendship groups, meaning you can share the love with your male and non-binary friends too!

What to do on Palentine’s Day

Considering it’s a celebration of friendship, what better way to spend the day than with your friends? Call up your besties and spend the day together! Go out for dinner, catch the latest release at the cinema, head for drinks at your favourite bar… whatever it is, spend the time with friends.

Valentine’s day is also about gifting the ones you love! Both Oliver Bonas and Next have curated some treats for you to pick out for your friends this Palentines.

But if it’s cards you’re after, we’ve got you sorted…

Small Business Saturday: How To Support Small Businesses

Community - December 2, 2021December 2, 2021

It’s #smallbusinesssaturday this weekend which means it’s the perfect time to support your favourite small businesses! Now that it’s December, it’s time to start buying Christmas presents so what better way to get your loved ones something meaningful thatn buying an independent alternative and supporting a local creative?

We know these last few years have been tough for everyone and you may not be able to support the businesses you love financially this Christmas. So, we’ve come up with a guide to help you show your support on small business Saturday that doesn’t always have to break the bank! We also have some ideas for gifts from some of our favourite small companies as well as some perfect Wuzci card pairings to go with them!

How to support small businesses

Buying products

Of course this one seems simple… but how many times have you bought something online without thinking about whether you could buy from a small/local business? When you shop from a small business, you are funding someone’s dream! Next time you think of a gift idea (or even a treat for yourself) see if a local or small online business has what you’re looking for!

Following on social media and interacting with their posts

Following and interacting with small businesses on social media is a great way to show your support! If you can’t afford to financially support the businesses you love but still want to support them, interacting with their socials can help boost their presence and puts their business out there for others to see and potentially buy from!

Sharing with friends

If you love a business and think your friends would too, why not share it? Whether that’s by sharing a post of theirs on your Facebook or Instagram stories, or through literal word of mouth, getting the word out about a small business you love can help them grow their following!

Leaving reviews

If you’ve purchased from a small business before, leaving a review on their site or on trustpilot will help them gain more customers and boost their sales! An added bonus is spreading a little positivity and letting a creator know how much you appreciate their work.

Buying giftcards

Don’t know what to get your friend or know you will want something later but you aren’t sure right now? Buy a giftcard! If a local or small business offers giftcards, they can be a great way to show your support for what they do AND share the business with friends and family.

Signing up to newsletters

If a business has a newsletter, sign up! Investing in a small business is investing in someone’s dream and what better way to keep up with a business’ progress than signing up to hear all about the shop’s updates and growth?!

Writing a Thoughtful Sympathy Card

Tricks & Tips - April 15, 2021April 15, 2021

Writing a sympathy card is a task that nobody wants to have to do. It’s not an enjoyable occasion and often something that we can’t plan for. But, it is an important gesture to show our support during a difficult time. It can also be a practical way to offer some much needed help.

Nobody wants to risk writing the wrong thing, so here are some tips help you relax and write a thoughtful message that shows you care.

After picking out the perfect card, these phrases can be a good place to start:

“We are so sorry for your loss”
“With deepest sympathy, as you remember ______”
“My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time”
“Thinking of you and wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you remember a loved one”
“I’m deeply sorry your family is experiencing the pain of a loss like this. My heart goes out to each of you.”
“It’s going to take time to get through the shock of this loss. Just want you to know we’ll be here for you all the way.”
“We were surprised and saddened to hear of _______ passing. We will miss them very much”

If you are writing to friends or family members of the deceased who may not know you, it might be thoughtful to mention how you knew their loved one. Sharing a little anecdote can help grieving family members or friends feel closer to those no longer with them. It can also be comforting to hear that others thought highly of their loved one, so be sure to let your recipients know.

“I feel so lucky to have known them. They lived an extraordinary life and I will never forget the time we ______”
“_____ touched so many lives for the good. I am grateful to have had such a wonderful colleague and friend. We will all miss her very much.”
“The funeral service was a great tribute to him and all that he has done for our community. ______ was a kind and generous man who will be missed greatly.”

If you’re in a position to help out your recipient in any way, be sure to let them know. People often don’t reach out when they are grieving because they don’t want to feel like a burden to their friends or family members. Offering something specific, such as taking over food or mowing their lawn, can be a great help during somebody’s grieving process and a good segue to check in on them.

“Thinking of you and your family. I’d like to help in any way I can. I’ll call later this week to see when would be a good time to bring over a meal for you.”
“I know that _______ used to take care of mowing the lawn. I’d love to come and help out with that.”
“You have so much on your mind right now, so let me give you one less thing to worry about and take care of ________”

The important thing about offering help is to follow through with it. After you’ve sent your card, give them a phone call after a couple of days to make plans.

So whether the card says it all for you, or you’ve written an extra message inside, sending a Sympathy card is an important, thoughtful touch that can help a person feel less alone during their grief.

If you don’t have time to write out your card by hand and post it, consider trying out our “Direct to recipient” feature.

Our unique fonts adapt to look like real handwriting and give your messages the perfect personal touch.
