Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a card for a friend for no reason?

One quote and one specific memory. 'Thinking of you' is fine, but naming the thing you were thinking about is what people keep.

Are friendship quotes too cheesy for a card?

Only if you stop at the quote. Add a line about something that actually happened and the whole card reads as sincere.
