What kind of greeting cards do you prefer?

I would absolutely prefer a home made on regardless of how tack or silly. It's the thought that counts.

I like NO cards the best. Cards do nothing for me.

Hallmark and homemade if they do not look too tacky they are fine with me

no real preference, I'm basically indifferent toward greeting cards

I personally think greeting cards are a waste of trees, but I appreciate the thought.

My first preferance is homemade no matter how tacky or silly. My second is %any card that fits the occasion perfecty. My third is the rare ones, found in some remote corner of the owrld. I like to frame some of those.

I either send E-Cards or send twisted, warped or funny cards... No mushy crap for me...

I like funny cards, and art cards the best.

This is my favourite card ever:

It's one of the Edward Monkton ones.

I tend to like ones that aren't Hallmark and don't make me laugh, cry, or feel all fuzzy inside. I prefer ones that are blank inside and that have a cool picture or painting or something on the front. Homemade ones are great, as are many store-bought ones.

Any card - it's the thought that counts....

Yeah... I liked your card! It was a nice surprise! I do tend to go for those with no text so I can write my own... But I picked one up today for my nephew; it's one of those musical cards? It says "Be bad on your Birthday" and the tune is George Thorougood's "Bad to the Bone"! I love that card! It's actually the second time I buy it - both times was for musicians, so...

Nice!
I generally think that the things printed in cards are pretty cheesy, and I'd rather express the thoughts myself.

My mother-in-law must have spent hours in the shop reading them all because she always found the most appropriate text! I remember grocery shopping with Ben once and he slipped out to run an errand in the mall. He came back grinning from ear to ear. He held out an unsigned card that he had just bought for me - I don't remember what the card said but it made me cry right there in the store! Sometimes they can be real good...

I never have enough patience to sift through them all!

Actually I am not much into cards, I like picture card those serve two purposes, one update family photos and send a greeting, very practical.

Ones that say or mean what you really intend

I love Shoebox cards. I typically go for humor in any cards I get.

Humourous and weird.

Some people are just good at finding the perfect ones. I'm pretty great at it. They just jump out at me. I'm always making my mom cry with just the right greeting card. I should stop that... I really hate all that mushy crap. I think I'm going to switch to funny cards.

I dunno 'bout me - I always tend to go for the funny cards. I guess I don't like that mushy stuff myself but like I said; there are times when the right words are quite appropriate - even if they are mushy!
