I very rarely send greeting cards anymore. It tends to feel inconvenient to go to the store to buy them and then deal with getting stamps to mail them. However, a special holiday like Mother's Day is one the few times I still get greeting cards. And I don't just get any old greeting card that's cheap — I search for the perfect card for my mom. When I can't be there to spend the day with her, I'm relying on a card to get a message across that I can't do in person.
