Greeting cards are a great way to send holiday wishes and special sentiments to friends and family. Retail greeting cards come in dozens of categories that include holidays, birthdays, romance, congratulations, and more. Used widely for Christmas, Mother’s and Father’s Day, and Valentine’s Day greetings, many other holiday cards are manufactured as well. Other holiday greeting cards include Easter, New Year’s, Chanukah, Passover, Rosh Hashana, and St. Patrick’s Day.

Birthday greeting cards are extremely popular and come in age or gender specific categories, as well as serious, humorous, and belated varieties. It is possible to find birthday cards for most any family relationship, from cousin to grandparent, spouse, or child, and even for your stepchild or brother-in-law. Also popular are birthday cards that hint about old age.
