Around here, various charities send out blank Christmas cards, gift labels, envelopes, etc, in the mail, in hopes that you'll make a donation.
They used to tell you if you're not making a donation, to send the stuff back. But, I guess they've learned over the years that no one is actually going to send the stuff back, so now they just tell you that they're gifting you all these items, and hope that you'll make a donation.
But when I don't have free cards to use, I just take piece of wrapping paper and make a small card from it.
I don't really buy cards from the store. They're stupid expensive. Like, $15 for a card? No thanks, I'll just make my own and spend the $15 on the gift instead. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

Honestly, that's why I buy a box of like 50 cards for like £5. There's usually a variety in there and it's cheaper than buying individual cards when you've got a list of like 12+ people to send them to. And they come with envelopes. Yeah, that works Christmas. Doesn't work for Birthdays though.
Hmm. Marketing idea....
Sell boxes of Birthday cards for a person's life, starting from birth all the way to like, 100...
Happy 1st birthday!
Happy 2nd birthday!

Happy 99th birthday!
Happy 100th birthday!
There you go, million dollar idea.
Send me a gift basket or something from your new mansion if you use this idea, please. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

A selection box of cards for various occasions is a nice idea. I have a vague memory of getting one once
many
years ago. It had birthday cards and some for new home, new baby etc. Only problem with it was I was stuck with cards I didn't like and some I had no use for. I gave them to a charity shop, problem solved.
We send/give over 100 Christmas cards every year. That number is made up of extended family and friends. Each card I make is different and I'm sure the materials would mean they cost more than the mixed multi packs that are available but I enjoy making them. I had intended to take some of my surplus to give to a charity shop before Christmas but the lockdown stopped that. They'll keep until next Christmas and I'll have even more to donate.
