When is National Send A Card To A Friend Day?
Tuesday February 7thOn Feb. 7th, National Send A Card To A Friend Day reminds us to send friendly greetings through the mail. We do that by giving a note or a card to the people we hold dear. We often think about our friends throughout the year. We're curious how they are, miss them, and recall fond memories of times shared.
Sending a card to someone for a variety of reasons dates back to ancient times. The Chinese will print different types of paper, but not as well as the Egyptians. During the Rennaisance, greeting cards became a hit for specific holidays and events. Victorian times increased the use of the greeting card for Valentine's Day, Christmas, birthdays, and other occasions.
Despite the fact that the flowery words of greeting cards is being phased out by our more digital age, a surprising 80% of adults still buy them. They are purchasing, although they may only make these purchases for special occasions and are more likely to give them as a gift when attending an event. retailers are also beginning to minimize their presence in the greeting card aisle, according to that.
All the facts will lead to a more fading "Just Thinking of You" card. Well, it's nice to get sweet text, but wouldn't it be less of a chore to go to the mailbox if every day you received a notecard from a friend?
