I really love browsing and picking out the perfect cards to send out to those I hold near and dear.  And with that being said I tend to favor photos cards. Photo Christmas Card for me personally are much more special. My family lives all over the USA and I don’t’ get to see them as much as I would like and just receiving a card with their loving faces warms my heart. These sorts of cards take residence on my fridge year round.

Pear Tree Greetings offers a wonderful selection of greeting cards for 2010  to send to family and friends during the Holiday season.  I really love that they are offer many stylish options of Christmas Cards from Photo Christmas Cards, Christmas Party Invitations, & Christmas Thank You Cards to suit the needs and taste of everyone!

I received several samples of Pear Tree Greetings cards to review and I must say these cards are top notch.  Envelopes are even included into the price of the cards so no having to make separate orders or doing the math!  Their cards are made with the best heavy  100 lb Matte Card Stock, which is also 100% post-consumer recycled!

My Thoughts…

I was able to review a couple of products of my own choice from PaperSpring and choose to go stationary since my stash is getting low. I also went with their address labels since we moved not too long ago and I know I’ll be needing them with Christmas just around the corner. Christmas is by far the time of the year where I send out more snail mail than ever!

I was very intrigued by a product they offer called Sticky Stock . It is an innovative and fun paper that lets you affix your card or stationary anywhere like a post-it! I loved that I choose to have my stationary paper sent to me in this way. I can easily write an I love you note to my husband  and put it anywhere like on his computer screen without any worry of looking for tape or leaving a sticky residue! Truly awesome, if you ask me… you just peel and stick! There’s even a video on their website if you’d like to see how it works!

I am also thrilled with the quality of the address labels I received…they are going to look great on the envelopes I send out this year with my Christmas cards! I really like the selection of products and designed over at Paperspring. And I also love that they offer Free ground shipping on all orders no matter how big or small! Check them out for yourself as they just might be your one stop for all stationary and card needs!

Do you remember a special Thank You card you received? It could have been from a friend, a family member, or from someone you may have impacted but had never personally met. I recall a thank you card I received several months ago from a dear friend. I was very touched that she had thought of me and personally gave me a card that I  hold near and dear during the struggles and hard times in my life.

A card as little as is holds the power to truly impact someones life in ways that may never be personally seen. A simple thank you to someone can bring a smile to their face and truly be remembered during those certain dark days in our life. It’s nice to appreciated. Honestly I think a lot more thank you card should be given to those you care about. Everyone deserves a thank you!

If you are looking for a place to purchase some great looking thank you cards, I would highly recommend you check out Pear Tree.
