While at Walmart, I read through MANY "funny" greeting cards to send to my nephew who will turn 18 in a few weeks. I cannot believe some of the content inside! Many of them embarrassed me so I thought they were quite inappropriate for him.

I left w/out buying one! I'll just look for some funny sayings on the web and make one for him.

Anyone else find the cards of today a tad bit "racy"?

Some can get pretty disgusting, but others are pretty funny. I must admit, I can laugh at a lot of that stuff. In fact, lately I've been finding cards that I think are hilarious and perfect for someone I know, but there's no way I'd ever send them the card.

Usually I just base my card-buying decisions on who it's for. I can usually find something appropriate.

That said, can you believe how much cards cost???

When needing an unusual card, something cute but not raunchy, I head to Hallmark, the store or on line. They always have something appropriate and unique...

I love the selection at the Hallmark stores. Something for everyone!

Browsing through card shops is one of my very favourite things to do. Every so often, I make up a long list of upcoming birthdays, anniversaries and people I just want to stay in touch with. Then I head off to various card shops and browse for a few hours. I love finding the right card for the right person, and will often pick up cards for people even though their birthdays are months away, just because the card suits them so well. Shopping for the perfect card for a loved one has long been one of my favourite passions in life. Weird but true. And when I can't find one that says what I want to say, I make my own.

Yes, cards are expensive, but some lines have introduced 99 cent cards. Have you seen them?

I also love reading cards. Some are raunchy, but so are some people, and they might appreciate them. LOL I'm definitely picky with verses.

My sister and her hubby took us to dinner Friday night and treated. It was a pleasant surprise so I wanted to thank them. I found a funny card at B&N.

"Thank you from the bottom of my butt." Then inside it said, "I was going to thank you from the bottom of my heart, but my butt's bigger."

I laughed so hard, I had to buy it. Plus, she has a crazy sense of humor so I couldn't resist. I know I'll get a call when she receives it and we'll laugh some more.

Does my butt look big in this card?

I totally agree. Some are raunchy, but some are just downright funny. I stay away from raunch.

Yeah, some of the 99c cards are cute, too.

I really like making my own...I just thought I'd go out there and find a good one quickly. But not for an 18 year old! That is an age I do not know much about.

Anyone??

Trader Joe's has some very nice cards for $1-2. I never thought to check them out until I got one from a friend.

Let's see...I lived through raising 4 kids past the age of 18. Mine were all girls, but at that point, they liked raunchy but they also liked a lot of different things too. Humor always worked for them (they love blonde jokes, boy/girl jokes). Sappy stuff doesn't work with them, but they're all still in their 20s and they all have a pretty outrageous sense of humor and like to laugh. I wouldn't give them the raunchy cards but I know they gave them or got them from friends. But still to this day, I have to really browse to find a good card for one of my kids. There are sooooo many out there, they even break them down by age groups now.
