American Greetings
With over 150 million cards exchanged each Mother’s Day, put a little creative thought into the one you send your mother, aunt, grandmother, sister and friends. American Greetings has introduced a fun, hip line of cards for moms with inscriptions where the cover reads, “Day planner in hand, cell phone at your ear, meetings on your mind, home and family in your heart”. The inside marvels, “Daughter, you do it all so well. Happy Mother’s Day.” There’s nothing wrong with the traditional Mother’s Day cards out there but these are quite nice too.
