It's Time to Send Your Christmas Cards, and We've Got The Perfect Ones For Ya Right Here
'Tis the season for sending and receiving Christmas cards! This may make me sound old, but in the days of near-constant digital communication, there is something really lovely about an IRL card, you know? It's a cute way to say hi to your fave people near and far and let them know you're thinking about them—especially during the holiday season. So, to help lessen your December to-do list, we've rounded up the best holiday cards that you still have time to order, because Christmas and New Year's will be here before ya know it.
And trust us, these won't be the kinds of holiday cards people leave in a messy mail pile for a few weeks before tossing. They're legitimately so pretty that everyone will want to display them! Also, there are tons of options for photo Christmas cards, but there are also plenty of options for photo-less cards if that's more your speed. And if you're trying to save $$$ for buying Christmas gifts, then you can always get a boxed set of pre-designed holiday cards and write your own message. It's still personal, but it costs a lot less money than, like, a Kardashian-level photoshoot and requires no graphic design skills.
From photo ornament cards to Christmas cards from your pet (yes, seriously), here are our picks for the best holiday cards to send before 2022 wraps up.
