Any ideas?
I'm sure this must have been thought of before, but there must be an incredible amount of expense and waste on those bits of cardboard called greeting cards. It's nice to receive and send them all the same.
How much does it cost to manufacture these things? The specialized ones for relatives birthdays are the biggest rip off.
What if a card could be designed in which you could rub off your personalized greeting and write afresh so you could recycle your cards back? Presumably not the same person you got it from though!
Merry Christmas
