I'm cheap, but you've got me beat.

My grandfather used to do something similar. He would save the cards we sent him and then give them back to us and say, “Here, you can give me the same one next year.” Ha! Good ol’ Depression generation. He and my grandmother had 10 kids and sent 9/10 to college (the oldest did not want to go). I miss you, Grandpa (and Grandma)! He lived from 1907-1991. :*)

I bought the kids and ourselves many boxes of personalized notecards during a minted sale and several boxes of various blank notecards that can be used from birthdays to graduation congrats to sympathy notes, etc. I also bought a few boxes of mini cards for classroom Valentine’s Day. Throughout two kids’ time in preschool-high school and a few hundred birthday parties, I never had to buy a birthday or thank you card. I also bought 3 rolls of colored kraft paper in 50lb weight and 1000’ length and I still have 2 of them left. They saved me so much money in wrapping paper.

Oops, make that 200’ not 1000’!

Homegoods has cheap ones! I sometimes get them at the grocery store - $7.99! And not even papyrus.

I make my own. How much would you be willing to pay for a beautiful card? I don’t do stamping - typically just collage mash up of vintage images and illustrations.

I’ve donated my cards just once at a school craft fair fundraiser. So much work and they were priced at $2 each.

I buy thank you cards in bulk from Amazon. I buy birthday cards in bulk from rifle paper.

One year on my birthday my mother gave me a beautifully wrapped little box, and inside it was a necklace that I already owned.

“This is my necklace,” I said.

“I know, I found it! Remember , you lost it? Happy birthday, my love!”

Then she gave me a birthday card still wrapped in the plastic “in case you want to reuse it.”

Then she collected the box and wrapping paper to reuse later.

Your post reminds me of this.
