PEOPLE have exchanged illustrated greetings and sentimental tokens for centuries. As early as the fifteenth century, Europeans were making greeting cards.

The reason people send greeting cards has been to further and maintain relationships with the people who will receive them.

Receiving a personal and well-chosen greeting card can do a lot to someone’s self-esteem and self-worth. It helps people feel connected.

Peter Dunbabin, the owner of Focus Cards and Gifts in the Maude Street Mall said, “We have recently refreshed our range of cards with an extensively range of new titles to match the times. With a lot of family events being put on hold over the last year, sending a card has given people that opportunity to let the one receiving them know they are thinking of them on the day.”
