Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a card for no reason?

Say why they came to mind, name one specific thing you appreciate, and keep it under four sentences. The lack of occasion is the point.

Are just because cards a bit much?

They are the most kept cards there are. Nobody bins the card that arrived on an ordinary Wednesday.
