Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a thinking of you card?

One line saying they are on your mind, one specific offer of help, and a clear note that no reply is needed.

Is it strange to send a card with no occasion?

The opposite. A card with no occasion is the clearest proof that you thought about someone for no reason at all.
