5.0 out of 5 stars High quality pop-up Xmas card, November 19, 2005

This review is from: Christmas Alphabet Cards (Cards)

I first saw these at a store and thought it was a beautiful collection. Each of the 26 cards are different, one for each letter of the alphabet (Y is for Yule log, etc.). So every recipient will get a unique card. The cards are rather petite, but they felt high quality, sturdy and well made. The pop-ups ranged from a static 3-D scene to some basic movements, like a smaller "To:" gift label that pops out of a scene, another card is of the nutcracker figure that closes its mouth. The messages inside each of the cards varied as well, some said Merry Christmas, others said Happy Holidays.

I love these cards and am purchasing a second set since the first set was so popular and wonderful to give away! A previous reviewer had given it only 1 star because they said the cards don't say "Merry Christmas" and has nothing about Christmas inside. The latter is not true. If anything, there is a slight Christian slant on a couple of the cards: one with baby Jesus, one with a lovely pop-up Bethlehem and star, and one stained-glass window one depicting the Virgin Mary and baby (and maybe a few more I can't think of right now). A large majority of the cards can be given away to anyone of any religion celebrating the holiday season.

Anyway, if you wanted cards that said "Merry Christmas" on them, there are plenty of other cards to choose from. Or you can write it in yourself; meanings of Christmas come from the personally written message, not the pre-printed greeting card!

But how many holiday greeting cards are POP-UPs, for goodness sakes? They're delightful to open, and if you have a ton of cards to send out but very little time to write a lot of text, the small space each card offers will take care of that for you. One thing I love best about these cards is that they offer so much variety of holiday symbols (though admittingly, no Hanukkah or Kwanzaa symbols) that somehow match up with the diverse set of recipients I send these out to.

I purchased these cards at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and wish I had bought at least 3 sets. Every card I put into an envelope I want to keep for myself. Each card is truly a little gift! Additionally, I am glad they say Happy Holidays because I have many friends celebrating different things this time of year. I am going to buy additional sets just to have (or give as gifts) for next year.
