A Super Fun Valentine Solution

by Janice

This is so cool!

A reader told me about a fun site called Tabblo where you can custom design your own Valentine’s cards and then send them via email. But – they aren’t stuck in your friend’s inbox forever! All your recipient has to do is click “mail to me,” add their address and their Valentine magically ships to their door! Woohoo – and it only costs you a dollar a card.

(Now the only drawback is this is for US addresses only – which is a drag for me since I’m Canadian. When I first heard the idea, I started forming a list of people I never get organized enough to send pictures or Christmas cards to. But since they were mostly in Canada, I had to scratch that list.)

Here is the one I made for my husband. (We also have a US mailbox, so I can still send one to him.) It was super fast and easy – your kids could easily make them too. (Well your preschoolers will need a little help uploading pictures.) And I didn’t have to worry about stamps, finding addresses (your recipient can add their own mailing address) or even going to the store! Sounds just about perfect. Now if they would only ship to Canada…

What do you think – pretty cute eh?

What a great idea!! Much better than trying to make those cards yourself. You have to share that website!

please share the website address – I love the idea! My family is living overseas, but these would be great to send to family in the USA.
