A great value but needs a few tweaks
Overall, this a really good value for the money and will be handy to have on hand. The cards are mostly basic - a few foil and glitter varieties - but all are smaller than a standard greeting card and larger cards won’t fit into the box when I refill. There were less of some types of cards than expected (like sympathy cards, which are some I like to have on hand). And there were lots more of others than I didn’t expect or need (like Christmas cards, oddly). Because it’s handy to know what’s included when you buy it, here’s the breakdown of what’s in my box: 17 birthday 6 graduation 2 wedding 10 anniversary 10 thank you 2 get well soon 2 housewarming 4 babies/baby shower 8 blanks 5 thinking of you/just because 12 friendship/motivational 2 sympathy 12 Christmas 2 New Years 2 Thanksgiving 1 Father’s Day 1 Mother’s Day 1 Easter 1 Valentine’s Day So, there were exactly 100 cards. Now, the positives: - The box seems to be good quality and will hold up well. - there are a lot of cards included and they seem like nice quality. I would compare the cards to the quality of nice boxed thank-you cards from Target. - plenty of birthday cards, which is one of the types of cards I use a lot. - a good variety of personalized cards - like happy birthday mom and dad - which will be handy. - the foil and glitter cards were protected and seem to be good quality. - lots of kid-friendly cards, I think they’ll be nice for my kids when they go to birthday parties or to send to cousins and nieces/nephews. - cost per card is low. - the envelopes are kraft brown, which I think give them a higher perceived value. And here are a few of the downfalls or improvements that I think could make this an even better product : - the cards are SQUISHED into this box. It’s really too many cards and envelopes for this box to be useful at first. Especially because I have a few other cards I wanted to include but there’s no way to fit them. I had to pull out a dozen cards to really be able to get into it well. Was smaller than the size of a shoe box and half the box was filled with the envelopes. So space could be a little bigger. - the box will not fit larger greeting cards, which is a bummer if you want to buy more and restock. - the divider labels are missing some I think would be useful - specifically baby, new home, get well, wedding and sympathy. I turned some of them around and made my own labels. Which is fine but these are labels I think should have been included instead of ones like my favorites, inspiration, and any occasion. - 12 foil Christmas cards was over the top. This is probably personal preference but I have photo cards made every year for friends and family. It just seemed like a lot of cards for me. I took them out completely because I won’t use them and needed more space in the box. The Christmas cards are actually really nice quality but seemed a little overboard. - It’s light on a few types of cards - would have liked more get well soon, sympathy, and wedding cards instead of the blanks and general thinking of you cards. I’m not sure why I have such strong opinions on this. But i do. I love having so many cards on hand and think it’s a great deal overall (I got it for just under $30). But with a few tweaks; it could be close to perfect.
