[Offer] My 1st annual Christmas card extravaganza offer! [U.S. and limited to WW]

Okay so I think it's time for me to start my Christmas card offer. I love sending cards on Christmas, so joining this group and being able to send more cards is exciting for me.

What I am doing might be a little odd so bear with me and my long explanation. This past summer, I was visiting the store that I usually get my thrifted cards when I realized they had a lot of Christmas cards I could use to send out to you all. They are all mismatched and maybe two or three are alike, but that's really it. So I had a thought of doing a form where you give me three theme ideas and if one of those themes are among what you are looking for, that's the card you will get. I hope that makes sense. If not feel free to ask for some clarification. These cards range from a teddy bear with a French horn, Santa Claus, Dogs and cats in the snow, or just your standard Merry Christmas card with holly around it. There is maybe one or two with a little bit of glitter, but nothing too annoying and I didn't even grab any with the nativity scene on it. Not sure why I didn't grab any religious ones but there you go. There might be some religious wording in some, but that's really about it.
But then as time went on I thought to myself, maybe I can also make it easier for some and buy a pack of cards that some will enjoy as well. So I have two styles of cards that look like this:

https://imgur.com/a/qKy3tcw

The dragon one has 12 and the cat one has 8.

In order to get these cards here are my rules

  1. Please be flaired or at least written a thank you within the last month or two
  2. reply with your top three favorite Christmas movies: Mine are Muppet Christmas Carol, Christmas Vacation, and Klaus.

I am limited on international stamps so please bear that in mind.

Here is the form to fill out.

[Offer] Holiday Cards Repost! [US to WW]

I'm making progress on both my studies and holiday cards more efficiently than I anticipated, so I'm able to reopen the form again :) I also found even MORE cards in my holiday stash, which is somewhat alarming lol, so the more people who sign up the merrier! Well...at least until my study schedule says stop it lol. No form limit this go around, but I'll probably close after a day or two. Thanks for signing up!

[Repost] Hello all! Here's my holiday list if you'd like a card from me. I'm still chipping away at my life's collection, so if you got a card from me last year you *might* get the same...be forewarned haha. I'm aiming for cards to go out late November or early December!

I'm strategically planning my procrastination time while I wrap up my degree, so I'm going to limit the intake form. It will automatically close when I've reached capacity!

Form: Here!

[Exchange] Holiday or Non-Holiday Cards [US to US]

Hi all! This is my first time posting to this sub. I have been lurking for a few days, and today, I bought two packs of blank greeting cards that I'd like to send out! One pack is holiday related, and one is for fellow dog-lovers.

Some of my interests include movies, classic art, cozy gaming, writing, reading, coloring, the supernatural, vinyl records, tattoos, painting, medieval history, manga, anime, oddities and curiosities, coffee, cryptids, crafting, language learning, horror, fantasy, science fiction, cyberpunk, the Victorian era, mythology, tarot cards, Tudor history, journaling, and musicals.

Would anybody be interested in swapping cards? If so, please drop a comment and send me a chat with the following info:

•Your contact info

•Your card preference

•A few interests of yours or maybe a little bit about what's been going on in your life lately

•Stickers or no stickers? That is the question.

I'm looking for 5 buddies located in the US to start! 🖤

[Request] My partner and I just got engaged!! [USA]

Hello friends!!

Like the title suggests, I would love to receive some cards since my boyfriend of almost 4 years and I just got engaged this past Friday!!

If it's not too much to ask, if you are married and choose to send us a card, could you write in the card how long you've been married to your current spouse and provide some marital wisdom lol.

Thank you so much and have an amazing day!!

[Thank You] Cards for Gracie Part 3

Thank you for sending cards for the loss of our cat, Gracie. It helped so much to know that many other people empathized with, and understand, this specific kind of grief. It's been a little over a month now and we are coping ok, but still get hit with huge waves of sadness at unexpected times. She was a one-of-a-kind cat and she enriched our lives immensely. I hope to be able to send a little note about her, sometime in the future, back to everyone who sent us a card with a return address. Please know, every card was appreciated whether it shared stories about your own pets or contained a general messages of support and kindness.

[Request] sympathy card for a recent rainbow bridge crossing😿 [US]

https://imgur.com/a/HZ8Zdts

1 year and 8 month old sweet baby had to be put to rest last night after a quick decline in health. Long story short, he had feline leukemia virus and he only showed symptoms for a week before making this devastating decision to help him cross over.

He was my boyfriend’s cat, but I have seen him 1-3x every week for the last year, so he felt like mine too. My “step cat” if you will. Yesterday was extremely emotional and we are still very sad, to put it lightly.

I am asking for sympathy cards for my boyfriend. He is absolutely gutted. And to make matters worse, now we have to get his other cat tested as the virus is contagious! We are very scared. This cat saved my boyfriends life last year and his time on earth was TOO SHORT.

Please PM me and I’ll send you my info. Thank you in advance. 🖤🩶🤍

[Offer] Repost - Christmas/Winter BINGO Game Postcards [US to WW]

I have 6 BINGO cards left - Come Play with me!!

First let me thank  as they did something similar for Valentine’s once and I am sure others have done this as well!

I have 18 Christmas/Winter themed Bingo cards to send out. This is the first time I am attempting this so bear with me. Each card is filled with not numbers but with pictures of Christmas and Winter symbols. Starting December 1^(st) each day I receive a Christmas or Winter themed card I will pick something that is on the first card I open. I will post the symbol in my Thank You Post (so you will have to look for my posts to know what symbols has been called).

Prizes will be given to:

·         First person to get two straight BINGOS (may include free space or not)

·         First person to get a Round Robin (all the way around the outside)

·         First person to get a cover all

·         You must DM me if you have a BINGO with a pic of your card, with the winning symbols visible so I can verify you are a winner.

If you are interested in playing Please be:

1.      Flaired

2.      Willing to have fun and play along

3.      Comment with your favorite Holiday tradition, and what country you live in

4.      Post a thank you when you get your card so I know people are receiving them and are ready to play

I will mail out the cards not later than Tuesday so people have time to receive them prior to the start of HOLIDAY BINGO! I will only send a few Internationally so I know people will receive the card and can participate. I will reach out for your contact info if I haven’t sent something to you recently.

Good Luck to All
