Birthday: Another year means more birthdays – do you have enough birthday cards at home? I always like having plenty of these on hand because you never know when someone's birthday is going to sneak up on you. Having a few extra cards stowed away in your drawers means that you'll always be prepared to send your well wishes.

Sympathy: Losing a loved one is never easy, but sending a sympathy card is a simple way to show that you care. Always be sure to add a handwritten note to make your gesture even more meaningful. Your words, however brief, could be much more comforting than you realize.

Thank you: Thank you cards aren't just for showing your appreciation for a gift, they are a way to offer your gratitude for everyday life. Thank your letter carrier for always delivering your mail on time, or send a thank you note to your co-worker for being a dependable friend at the office.
