ever been in a bind where it’s your friend’s birthday and you don’t have a card yet? and then you have to go to cvs or target for a silly card that’s obviously last minute. what if instead you buy the perfect card once you see it?? $20 now is money saved later. or just keep the card for yourself. who cares!!!
I love buying a shit ton of cards at the thrift that way I have a card for every occasion! birthdays, congrats, get well soon, Christmas, thinking of you etc etc… I never have to go out and buy them and I get a lot for cheap! Running out of birthday cards tho… 😁🎉😇
I feel the struggle. I too am in college with a lot of friends birthdays coming up. 9/10 I let them know I have thought of what to get them but let them know that money is tight and say it might be late. And then i go out and buy kids cards, especially ones with like the numbers on them and just add on to it, so like say i have a friend turning 23, I'd get them either a card for a 2 year old and draw a three on there or a card for a 3 year old and tack a two to the front. Double the point if it comes with a cheep sticker, coloring pages, a plastic key chain, or deconstruct the card to make something out of the card. So far this method hasn't failed and has given plenty of laughs and impromptu phone calls when it arrives in the mail!
