The Best Gift Is A Laugh

If you’re like me, giant portions of your life, including social aspects, revolve around your computer and the Internet. Has it gotten to the point where you rely on Friendster or some other direct-to-inbox reminders that your friends’ birthdays are approaching? At this point, it’s already too late to rush out and buy a card. Besides, have you seen how much Hallmark and Memory Lane are charging for their cards nowadays?

When my friends have their big day rolling around, I like to send free, funny birthday ecards to them. I like ecards because they’re interactive. Normal paper cards don’t have Flash movies embedded in them. I’m not a sentimental sort of person, and it’d get awkward if I sent them maudlin cards with mushy lines. And I think it’s really important that they have a good time on their birthday, so I usually go for humorous cards.
I’ve sent quite a few ecards to my friends, and while they were cute, I couldn’t send them to my guy friends because, well, they were too cute. But Egreetings.com has created some rather naughty and risque cards that you can use to tease the birthday boy, such as Your Choice Of Dessert, which I like for its nudge-nudge-wink-wink factor. Or if you just want to make them laugh, try Birthday Chins for a visually entertaining card.

For a yearly subscription fee of US$13.99, you can have your pick of ecards, and schedule them in advance so you don’t miss the big day. Their cards cover all occasions, even oddball holidays. With the lovers’ celebration coming soon, now is a good time to send free, funny Valentine’s Day eCards. A 30-day trial membership is available, and you can send unlimited ecards during this period. And of course, all cards can be personalized with a message and even pictures, so it’s just as sincere as a traditional card. Only cheaper, and more convenient.
