Now I'm someone that likes to be organised, especially when it comes to things like birthdays and Christmas, I like the personal touch, none of this eCard business. I tend to buy my cards in bulk, just incase an occasion happens to arise. However there are times when I have forgotten and I've been left panicking. CardNest have come to the rescue.
Their mission :
"We want to inspire people to reconnect with their loved ones and help them keep in touch with each other."
So what do CardNest do?
This clever bunch have set up a subscription service which enables them to send you three exclusive greetings cards each month, these are delivered straight to your door for the amazing price of £7.50 in th UK or £10 for subscribers outside of the UK.
They work directly with some of the world's best creative talent to bring a unique range of cards. Every design in their collection is exclusive to them which means you won't find them anywhere else online or in the shops.
These include artists from all over the world including the USA, Italy and right here in the UK.
"A few words can mean the world."
What I loved was that the cards sent weren't all for birthdays.
Throughout your subscription they will send you some cards which aren't occasion specific as well as those handy greetings cards.
This gives you the opportunity to just say hello to someone if you feel like it.
"Sending a handwritten card to those we care about really can make their day, particularly when they least expect it."
CardNest actually wrote a blog post about National Thinking Of You week and this inspired me to use the thinking of you card which I received in my pack to write a small letter to my Nana.
I really would recommend CardNest to everyone.
Beautifully made cards, which are guaranteed to put a smile on the recipients face!!
Not only a handy an helpful service but an inspiration to bring back paper and get in touch with people on a more personal level.
"Recognising a friend's handwriting on an envelope is far more personal than an email subject line."
With the option to add stamps to your order(extra £1.86 a month), you'll never miss an occasion again.
If you fancy giving CardNest's services a go, I have a 50% off code for you to use MAMA50 this will expire on the 30/11/14
