Greeting Cards

I'm just wondering if you like to add something extra to your greeting cards? Sometimes I'll slip one of the following inside: a couple of dollars, a bookmark, a recipe, a stick of gum, a photo or a lottery ticket.

I don't, but all of the things you mentioned are great ideas. I'll have to remember them for the future!

I include a pic of the kids when I send cards to certain family members. But that is all I ever include.
I send out cards to 13 people/families on each of these occassions:New Years, Valentines, St. Patty's day, April Fools, Independance Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, each of their birthdays, anniversaries, and where appropriate Mom's Day, Dad's day, Grandparent's Day. Plus for Christmas time I send around 30 cards out.
For each event I do add a special sticker to the envelope and cute rubber stamps to them as well. Maybe once a year I could start including something like you mentioned in tyheir cards. What a nice surprise that would be!!

Depends on who the recipient is of the card. If it's a kid, I'll usually slip in a few bucks, or a bookmark for older family members. Scratch 'n Win tickets for adults who need a quick gift.

I put pictures in Christmas cards. If it's a birthday card for grandparents I include a drawing or art "project" from one of the girls. Otherwise, I don't usually add anything other than whatever I'm sending (checks for birthdays, etc.)

I print out coloring sheets and send them in the cards I send out to the kids in my Sunday School class. For birthdays, I'll include a gift card for a McDonalds Happy Meal.
