Spare Your Friends the Lame Cards This Year

When I go to pick out cards for the holidays, I just keep looking and looking at all those stacks of foil boxes, hoping something will jump out at me screaming, "Pick me! I am not sappy or cutesy, I promise!" Rarely does this happen however, and some years, I admit I find myself settling.

This year will be different, since I discovered the holiday cards at Amy Smyth Made It. These are the kinds of cards that say "I wish you a very lovely holiday oh and by the way I have excellent style and taste."

There's a great selection of funky yet sophisticated seasonal, Christmas, and Kwanzaa cards (check out the Baby's First Christmas card) and there are chic gift tags and holiday invites to boot.

I hate to hurt the feelings of those huge corporate peddlers of holiday schlock but I'm putting Amy Smyth in charge of all my holiday communications this year.  -Izzy
