Greeting Card Universe (Review)

Holiday Gift Guide

I would like to share a company called Greeting Card Universe who was kind enough to let me choose greeting Cards in exchange for a review my family will be creating.

I’ve always been someone who loves purchasing Greeting Cards for the people I love and since we live on a budget and Art isn’t something I can afford my family has also used Greeting Cards pictures to decorate our home with. The pictures or sayings on the greeting cards can be unique and you might not be able to find the pictures or sayings anywhere else. When I was looking on Greeting Cards Universe, this is what I noticed about the cards they sell.

I finished looking at all the cards and picking out cards that had pictures om them which would be perfect for our home. I went back to Greeting Card Universe to pick out a Valentines Card for Charlie. I found more cards on there website that I could purchase at the moment but it’s become my go-to place when I need Greeting Cards for any occasion and I will be sharing this new company with our friends and family.

‘m going to share the greeting cards I picked out when I was shopping. Once I show you the cards I chose, I would like to know what you think of the greeting cards I picked out. Before I share the card with you I have a question for you. Have you shopped at Greeting Card Universe? If so what did you like about the greeting cards and was there anything you didn’t care for and why?

The first greeting card I would like to share with you is a Mothers Day card. I know Mother’s Day isn’t until May but as soon as I saw this greeting card I knew Mother’s Day for Daughter pink tulip bouquet with polka dot bow card would have been perfect for my daughter Suzzane if she were still alive.

The card I picked out had pink Tulips, on the front of the card which were Suzzane’s favorite flowers. This greeting card would be so pretty in a frame and hung on my wall. The message inside fits Suzzane  to a T.

I liked being able to add personal messages to the card and to pick out the color of ink I would like the font I wanted. I can’t wait to hang this greeting card up in my office because it will bring Suzzane closer to me every day.

I miss her so much that when I  look at the card, it reminds me of her and causes me to smile. If you would like to take a look at this Mothers Day card you can find it here  and I hope you like this greeting card as much as I did.

The next greeting card I chose was one with a Horse on the front of the card. The Comanche Card is a Brown and White paint horse that both my sister and daughter loved. One of my favorite features is the card is blank inside. I can give Comanche to my sister.

I can hang Comanche on the wall above our Fireplace to remind me my daughter is always around. David and Charlie liked the Comanche Card a lot. David says he would want to give Comanche Card to his Uncle for his Birthday.

I’m going to let David know Comanche Card is mine all mine.  I am keeping it for myself. If you would like this greeting card, you would need to order it for yourself. If you check out Comanche, let me know what you think of this card and who you would purchase the greeting card for and why.

The next greeting card I picked out Stars, Stripes & Spots Forever II on the card are 2 Dalmations Sleeping, inside the card is blank. I plan on using this card as a Valentines Day card for Charlie.

I would like to share a tidbit with you about my mom and also my nephew David. Dalmatians or Bird Dogs as we call them were both moms and Nephews favorite dogs.

We aren’t able to see my Nephew as much as I would like, and my mom has passed away so this card will be something Charlie can keep to remind him of both of them.

Charlie can hang this greeting card on the wall as there is no writing on the front. I would be able to give this card to anyone who likes dogs. Or anyone who is looking for pictures of pets to hang up inside there homes like we will be doing.

The next greeting card I picked out was ENGLISH BULLDOG GUNNER, Happy Birthday card.  When Charlie was smaller he had asked Santa to bring him a Bull Dog. We can’t afford a real Bull dog but having this card, Charlie would still have his favorite dog.

I told Charlie Santa doesn’t bring dogs because they scare the Reindeer. I hope this will make up for the Bulldog Charlie didn’t get.

The second greeting card I picked out for Charlie was the BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITATION – PIRATES – PERSONALIZE NAME for Charlies Birthday in December.

Charlies Birthday gets sometimes lost with the hustle and bustle of Christmas. I always try and make Charlie’s Birthday stand out and be different and unique.

No,  one we know has ever had a Pirate invitation and I knew these would be a hit with Charlie’s friends. Along with David and Charlie who would like these invitations a lot.

Once the invitations arrived, I gave them to Charlie. Charlie e wanted to fill them out and to send them out as soon as possible so people wouldn’t forget his Birthday.

Charlie also wants us to start planning a Pirate party for next year. If your children like Pirates, I hope you take the time to check out this fun and unique Birthday invitation.

Here is a fun tidbit about me: I always like to be prepared and not wait until the last minute. I picked out this Christmas Card for Charlie. The card was is the Christmas, Son- Cool Snowman in Sunglasses with the Present.

If something happens and I am not here at Christmas Charlie will have a card from me . The card will tell Charlie how much I love him and how proud I’m to be his mom and that he will always be my best friend.

Its only fitting that the Snowman would have sunglasses on. Charlie and I never have enough sunglasses. The front of the card says “Christmas Wishes to a very cool Son” . Which is what Charlie is and will always be. If you have boys, I hope you check out this cool greeting card as I am sure you will like it as much as my family did.

The next greeting card I picked out was also for Charlie, and its  Son Valentine’s Day Monkey on Swinging Vine Valentine card. Valentines is next month. With Suzzane loving Monkeys, if she were still here, she would have picked this greeting card out for Charlie. Suzzie’s nickname was Monkey Sue, this card will remind Charlie of his sister, and he can hang the card up in his bedroom to remind him of Suzzane.

I chose a card for myself as well because this will make a cute decoration for my office . The Monkeys reminded me of Charlie as he likes to climb trees and swing upside down just like the Monkeys. If you have little boys, I think you should take the time to check out this fun greeting card to give to them.

I’m your thinking that the only people I ever think of are either Charlie or myself which isn’t true. I found a greeting card for David and for our Anniversary. It’s Humorous Our Anniversary Card Man Fishing and Sign card. This new greeting card is perfect for any FISHERMAN who LOVES FISHING!!

Not that David ever gets a card for me but since two wrongs don’t make a right I went ahead and picked out a card for David. Which I thought I would share the card I picked out for David with you. Because you might need an Anniversary card for the one you love.

I chose this new card because the Humorous Our Anniversary Card Man Fishing and Sign Card  fits David to a T as it says “Do you remember its our Anniversary?” Only the gentleman is fishing which is something David would do no, matter what day it might be

On I have a question for you. If your married does your significant other remember your anniversary?

Does that person purchase a card for you? If not how does it make you feel? If they do Please let them know about Greeting Card University as they have so many fun and unique anniversary cards. I know you would find the perfect card for your loved ones.

The next greeting card I picked out was one with for my Dad’s Birthday. The card is  “Dad Birthday Card-Red Classic Car card. I knew David would like the picture on this greeting card and Charlie would also love the car because Charlie loves Antique Cars.

I also thought this card would be perfect for either my dad or David’s dad for there Birthday. Or I could be prepared for David’s Birthday which is in July.

Because things can happen to the people we love I have already gotten the card signed with Charlie and the dog’s signature. Now all I have to do is wait until David’s Birthday to give it to him.

As fast as this year is going, it will not be long until David’s Birthday, and I will not be surprised once David gets the card that he doesn’t order one for his dad.

If he does it will be nice to see if he puts a message inside the card. Usually all David does is sign a card. When I spend day’s laboring over what I want the message to say.

Or what I would like to put on the gifts and gift cards I purchase. I want the message to fit the person I am giving the presents to including my family. Are you the same way?

This week I was thinking about Easter and what we can get Charlie.  I do not like waiting until the last minute. As I was on Greeting Card University, I picked out this Easter card for Charlie it was “For Son Easter Greeting Card-Dog with Easter Eggs-Customizable Text card.”

I might just slip some money in the card although I will wait till we get closer to Easter before I decide for sure. The Easter Card I picked out has a dog on it with Easter Eggs can see a pattern here? It also has a dog on it.

You say you can’t see a pattern will let me tell you we love our animals and I knew this greeting card would be a hit. It has colored Eggs on the map which Charlie and I enjoy doing during Easter. I am sure if we let our dogs they would help us color and hide the eggs.

Then eat them, and if we weren’t careful, they might not wait we peel the eggs and dogs don’t go well together because if they “TOOT” it will cause you to leave home. Their toots smell so horrible if you do not believe me just ask David or Charlie as they can testify to that as Thor has gotten into our Boiled Eggs before. I have a question for you do you have dogs and has this happened to you before? If so what did you do about it?

You all know we are now Homeschooling Charlie and because I want to make this a year to remember I picked out a Greeting card for Charlie that I can give him on the last day of school. If you would like to see which card I picked out you can find it in the category called  Schools Out for when Summer vacation begins. The card has a School’s Out sign, with a Desk and Blackboard with Chalkboard. If you would like to pick up a map for your children, you can find them on Greeting Card University as they have quite a collection for when school is out.

School's Out, with Desk and Blackboard with Chalk Writing card

Each year I will be going back and getting a new card for Charlie as I can leave messages inside the cards I get showcasing the end of the year and school being out. When Charlie grows up, he can share them with his children.

If Charlie were sweet, he could go to Greeting Card University and pick out a card for me. I am a fantastic teacher and deserve to be spoiled If you teach your children, you do as well. Remind your family to check out Greeting Card University and to get a card for you.

The last card I picked out was a greeting card with a bunch of Tulips on the cover. It’s the Easter Bright And Beautiful Spring Tulip Bouquet card for Easter which reminded me of Suzzane. I thought this card would look lovely in my office because the Tulips are pink, yellow and purple and my office is a lavender color.

These three colors were Suzzane’s grandmother’s favorite colors. Suzzane and my grandmother have gone on to Heaven this greeting card would keep them close to me especially on the days I am missing Suzzane.

I used to have a Grief Journal where I would write letters to Suzzane since I don’t know what happened to it, I can use this card from Greeting Card University to write letters to her.

I can have  put messages inside the Cards for me and use the colors of ink Suzzane would have liked. Along with the font (style) of writing Suzzane would have liked.

I can bring the Easter Card  with me when I take Suzzane flowers. Once, I take it to show her I can bring the card home as a reminder of what I was thinking this year on Easter and how much I missed Suzzane and what things I would have told her if she was here.

I like Greeting Card University and the variety of cards they carry so much and I will be sharing there the website with everyone. I know I am thinking about joining their affiliate program. It’s a excellent way to make extra money. Which might be something you want to check into as well.

I would like to ask you to, please take the time to stop by and say Thank you to our Greeting Card Universe and let them know how much you enjoyed learning about them and which cards you liked the most.
