We’ve all been there: You finally found the best birthday gift, but now you need an equally fitting greeting card to match it. It may not cost as much the actual gift, but it's still a crucial part of the gift-giving process. While many folks write it off as an afterthought, we don’t believe in minimizing the importance of a birthday card, especially when you're pairing it with a digital gift.
Birthday cards come in all sizes and can feature different greetings to set the tone for the year. You can go the sincere route and give your recipient a thoughtful card filled with a tear-jerking message, or wish them well with a short, but sweet birthday greeting.

From your mom to your best friend to every recipient in between, who doesn’t deserve a great chuckle on their special day?
