Should I keep birthday and Christmas cards?
It is okay to keep special cards. However, not all cards are meant to be kept forever or are equal in sentimental value. A hand-made creation with a heartfelt note is different than a generic store card with just a signature at the bottom. Too often people feel obligated to keep every card out of guilt or tradition.
How can we recycle old birthday and Christmas cards?
Most cards are paper based and can be recycled, along with their envelopes, either in your household recycling collection, at local recycling points such as household waste recycling centres or at collection banks in supermarket car parks and the like.
Is it rude to throw away Christmas cards?
It may sound heartless, but generally speaking, greeting cards are supposed to be a fleeting message from a loved one. Unless the card had something particularly sentimental and meaningful written inside, throw it away.
Does anyone collect old birthday cards?
There are people who do collect vintage greeting cards; however, they tend to specialize in, say, Christmas or Mother’s Day cards, or unusual cards such as pop-ups, die-cut cards and humorous cards. But once again, the biggest prize goes to the unused cards, without blemish.
Why do people save birthday cards?
Happy, joyful, excited, proud, loved, appreciated— these are feelings worth holding on to. Remorse, sadness, loss, guilt, anger or nothing really—these are feelings to acknowledge, thank and let go of. It can be hard to toss (and yes, I mean recycle) greeting cards from loved ones.
How long should you keep a thank you card?
