An Open Letter to Hallmark
Dear Hallmark:
Thank you for your wide and creative selection of cards. As a man, it is most helpful that you provide me with cards that speak of love, commitment, passion and adoration between a husband and wife. At each season and holiday, when I reach to purchase a card – I am glad you have thought through these details for me.
I would like to make one request, however. Can you please not design these cards to appeal to me just in order to sell them? Yes, I like brown, tan and other earth tone colors. I am a bit uncomfortable holding flowery, glitter laden and sparkling cards that sing love songs. And yet, even at the risk of making me uncomfortable can you NOT design any cards that will result in my wife saying – “How nice. You picked this one because you like the colors – didn’t you?” I promise I will buy whatever you sell, just help me out will you?
Sincerely,
Theguythatlikesearthtones…

You can score big points with her if you make your own card, like kids do, try it!

Loving the billboard.
Write her one of your poems and scribe it onto a card yourself. Like the old story, "The journey is part of the present."
i totally get the 'do it yourself' card, David and Secretia. and it has been done... sometimes you have to go store bought just to keep it real. :)
