A Friendly Reminder

Jack Cards

You admit it: You’re forgetful. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations — they all slip through your mental cracks.

Good thing Jack Cards has your back. Not only will the site remind you of a looming date, but it’ll send you a card — complete with prestamped envelope, so you can (at the very least) pop it in the mailbox yourself.

Start by creating a contact list, then pick the cards and dates you want them sent to you. Once the card arrives, scribble out a message and drop it in the post. (No more drugstore diving on your lunch break.)

All of the greetings are beyond cute and created by designers around the globe, which earns you (and them) serious bonus points.

Membership is free, and the cards start at $1.50, leaving plenty of time and money for something else.

Like, hmm, maybe a gift?
