One More Time with Feeling

Card Savers

Some might call you cheap. Others, thoughtless and lazy.

But we think your meticulous cataloging of date, giver, and occasion is truly inspired. (How else would you ensure that you didn’t regift cousin Camille the chartreuse vest she knitted you last year?)

Which is why we’re sure you’ll appreciate Card Savers, adhesive sheets that fit inside already used greeting cards.

Each pack includes twelve blank sticky sheets in three standard sizes with matching white envelopes. So if the only thing on your fridge is a postcard from mom and dad’s trip to Asia, slap on the corresponding sheet and scribble away. (“I wouldn’t trade you for all the tea in China. Happy birthday!”)

A little icon at the bottom of each sheet indicates that “this card has been recycled.” Which means that when recipients clue in to your frugal ways, they give you credit for saving a tree.

And what could be more thoughtful than that?
