Usually, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.

But when you created the mess yourself (cheating, spreading a contagious illness), you prefer to avoid the situation entirely.

And for those times when you think, I wish I could send a card instead of deal with this head on, there’s Life’s Lemons.

The cute collection of greeting cards has all your unfortunate events covered. Faced with a general bummer? Send Bad Things Happen to Good People. Sister getting a divorce? Good Luck in Court will put a smile on her face. Know someone going under the knife? The Twins Look Great will convey your support without your ever having to say it face to face.

Which, in this case, is the whole point.
