Three Card Options For Even Unusual Birthday Gifts

It is no secret that gifts are very personal things

, since they are given by a specific person and given to an equally specific person. When a card is presented along with it, then the transaction becomes even more personalised. Even unusual birthday gifts need to be presented with a card. The range of items that can be given as gifts is extensive. From the latest literature, to gift certificates to a modern electronic gadget, gifts can be anything. However, there is no doubting the more unusual or unique a gift is, the more personal it is. Not everyone, for example, thinks of a bound leather journal when asked what they would prefer, but for many discerning travellers, this is ideal. The addition of a handwritten message increases the personal value. The three most common methods of providing this is through a regular birthday greeting card, a stylishly designed gift tag, and a high quality correspondence card, such as those from the highly regarded Medioevalis range. Greeting Cards This is easily the most common and widely available form of card. When they are given with a birthday gift, they are simply placed in an envelope and presented with the package, though sometimes that are placed beneath wrapping paper to ensure they are not lost in transit. They are usually large and colourful, and also rather cheap in price, with themes ranging from the funny to the sincere. However, there are also high quality cards available that do not specify any particular occasion, leaving it open for the writer to make the image on the card front relevant. For example, a sailing enthusiast can be given a card with a famous sailing boat on the front, but it is only the message within that makes it relevant to a birthday. It could also easily be given at Christmas, as a form of congratulations after the recipient won a sailing race, perhaps, or a graduation card. The only negative aspect to these greetings cards is their general size, making them more obvious than some gift givers would prefer. Gift Tags These are far smaller than regular greeting cards, and are often chosen for two specific reasons. Firstly, they can provide a way to clearly identify who the desired recipient is, and secondly, they are small enough to write a short and direct message to the recipient. These cards are usually only around 6 inches long and 4 inches wide and can be tied, glued or taped to the wrapping on a birthday gift. And while tags are typically one flat piece of card, some are also miniature cards, with a message within the fold. Generally, the message is short and sweet, with a phrase or comment written to express the personal nature of the gift sufficiently. What is more, they can be highly decorated by a vast range of images. The choice of gift tags, or cards, depends on the tastes of either the recipient or the sender. Cavallini gift tags are amongst the most highly regarded examples, adding a distinctive quality to the tag despite its small size. Correspondence Cards The third type of card that can be used when presenting a gift is a correspondence card. Strictly speaking, these are cards that are used to send simple messages to individuals, like notifying someone that the sender will call on them or that they were invited to a party. However, their quality and size make them perfect accompaniments to a parcel. These cards are only 6 or 8 inches in length but differ from gift tags in that they are ideally delivered in an envelope, making them more like miniature letters or greeting cards. They are available on the highest quality card and paper, such as the medioevalis range of correspondence cards, which is an Italian brand capable of accommodating engraving and letterpress printing and so can have the most personal touches applied. And regardless of what the gift in question is, whether leather journal of the highest quality or one from a large pool of more unusual birthday gifts, like an antique atlas, a carved owl whistle, or a Morse code kit, the correspondence card can provide a personal message to make the gift all the most special.
