Ecards for Valentine's Day
I was curious to know if this would be appropriate? My hubby works alot and sometimes I barley get to see him before he goes to work. Would sending him an ecard be a nice jesture until he gets home? I found a few I liked at Hipstercards.com especially the vintage ones. Any suggestions?

That's adorable - -but I personally can't stand e-cards, they just lack the personal touch, and it give the appearance of no thought being put into the act.. like it was last minute (I know it's not the case, it's just the perception)
why not sneak a card or two into places that you know he will find them... His briefcase, the pocket of his coat, put one on the front seat of the car or on the dashboard... Be creative. Be sneaky.

It's cute - I find ecards to be handy for those people that I've met online, where we haven't shared as much personal information for me to be able to send a card to their house. The additional notes is a nice touch too. I used to love leaving little notes in my boyfriend's car, so that he saw them as he was going home. They ended up getting folded afterwards to prop the air vents up - both cute and practical!

why don't you print out this vintage card and put your own personal message inside? Then slip it in his briefcase or somewhere he'll see it

I think it is great, a nice pick me up in the middle of the day. It sounds like you have plans for the evening so the card is just to pique his interest. I say go for it.

I hate the "junk" that comes along with ecards. I won't even open them when people send them to me. I think maleficent has the right idea, slip notes into his briefcase, etc. He'll enjoy it just as much and not get the junk that comes along with ecards.

That's a good idea if you really like the e-cards you find. I love the duckie; well, I love duckies in general, so that's no surprise. lol
