I almost never do. Got busted several times for it too. Twice during this current holiday season alone.
My usual go to is, "I thought of you as soon as I read it". Doesn't always work though.
Wait for the poll.

It doesn't matter because I usually write my own 200 word essay on the inside of the card anyway.

Yes, but I only buy cards with 5 words or less.

Of course I do. But that hasn't stopped me from accidentally sending the same card to my mom twice on two separate Mother's Days.

How and why would you bother to get someone a card and then not even know what it says?
I'm like Rainman if I'm buying a card, reading them all for an hour, obsessively. I feel like it's already impersonal as hell to be buying a shitty premanufactured card for someone, it might as well have some relevance.... If I have time and inspiration, I like to make up my own, personalize it....

My friend's wife sends out cards for everything. Xmas, New Year's, Valentine's, Easter, 4th of July, first day of Spring/Summer, every time their dog gets a healthy checkup at the vets, etc. Originally Posted by Vyb

I buy the one with the prettiest picture on the front. I'm visual. Originally Posted by HeinousMark

Yeah actually Mrs. Vyb does that for Xmas, too. At least she doesn't do that Xmas letter thing. Originally Posted by PullMyFinger
