Looking for a classy yet frugal way to send your holiday greetings? For the past several years, I’ve been using Jacquie Lawson holiday e-cards – Lawson always has a kick-ass selection of beautifully rendered animations AND you can personalize them.
eco-cred: there’s a lot of “waste” involved with traditional cards – even cards made of recycled paper & eco-friendly inks. By e-mailing greetings, there’s no need to: purchase stamps, or use paper and energy (including gasoline and transportation) in order to have traditional paper cards created and physically transported around the planet.
Bonus – for a small yearly fee, ($12/1 year or $18/2 years), you can send as many ecards as you like year round – for any occasion – birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Sign-up is easy, and it stores your “mailing list” so you know who you’ve sent cards to year after year. When the card is opened by the recipient, you receive an automatic notification. Another great way to be frugal, green and save time — give them a try & let me know what you think. find @ jacquielawson.com.

Joyously cool artist! My sister’s been sending me Jacquie’s amazing animated cards for years and they’re always great fun to open. A short sweet little vignette featuring smart sweet animals…perfect for men or women. They even have a family Holiday Newsletter that you can fill in and add photos. Great idea! :)
HA! Great to hear. Sending cards has always been one of my favorite parts of the holidays – these animations take the boring out of e-cards. The only printed cards I send now are to “older” folks who don’t have computers. have a happy, Nik!
