While you might want to take the easy way out this Christmas and just buy a bunch of Christmascards for you to send out, you might want to hold that thought so you won't be labeled as the Grinch. Christmas cards are okay especially if you might want to take the time to write out your own personal note rather than just opt for those ready made messages from Hallmark. Anyways, here are just a few alternatives to Christmas cards.

Gift cards


I'm not talking about ordinary Gift cards though, I'm talking about Best Buy's tiny audio speaker gift card. It's actually pretty cool since you can use the gift card even when you've already used up all the amount on it. This just makes me wonder--if they can make an audio speaker gift card, why can't they make an audio speaker Christmas card? Or maybe they have I just don't know where to look. If anyone does find something similar like that (and I'm not talking about those musical Christmas cards), post a comment so that I can blog about it.

 Saw this one over at Brando.com.hk. It's not as cheap as your average Christmas card but it's much more fancy. You can write a short personal message with this gift.

Edible Christmas Cards


Perfect for those dog lovers. Rather than throw away old Christmas cards, these edible greeting cards can be chewed by dogs. So that's hitting two birds with one stone (one gift for two).

But if you're just the traditional type, you can always order your Christmas Cards from Gallerycollection.com and choose from their different designs. They're supporting the Texas Children’s Pediatric Associates Project Medical Home which means you're probably doing your share of charity work by just buying from them.
