Love And Romance Cards
|
There was a time when cards were available only in classy shops that had an exclusive and private area dedicated to hundreds and hundreds of cards.
These cards always fascinated lovers, much like books in a bookstall.
You go there not just to select one card for your sweetheart, but also to enjoy and relish the various flavors of romance.
It's like going to a delicatessen and eating a piece of every candy on the shelf. You need buy only the very best.
Today, searching for love and romance cards is not quite what it used to be.
For one...
...e-cards have successfully usurped a large chunk of the market share.
When you can sit at home and browse through such a humongous selection of e-cards, why go to a shop?
And when e-cards are free, why buy a paper card at all?
...But paper cards do have a special place in love.
If you really want to leave something tangible for your love to touch, see and feel - something that she or he can come back and see once again, you've simply got to get the real thing.
You can even keep all the love and romantic cards you get in a shoebox (a big one) and go through them from time to time - that particular trip down memory lane is bound to be filled with sweet memories.
That's where actual cards score over e-cards. While the one is easy and convenient, it is also impersonal. You cannot get a whiff of your love - no handwriting, no personal mark and nothing to touch.
But, there are times when e-cards seem better and more opportune.
When you have to rush to office before the stores open, and you barely make it home for the 10 o' clock news, buying a paper card is the last thing on your mind.
So, during that occasional lull in activity at the office search out some love and romancé cards from the umpteen e-card websites, and click away.
When you feel loved and cherished, it's only fair to let your sweetheart know that he or she is loved too.
Love and romance cards come in all shapes and sizes. So, it's easy to slip one into a suitcase or a purse.
...Remember those cute musical cards? You wound up the key and the card would sing while you went through the words inside.
When you love someone, there are times when it is hard to keep it inside. There are times when you feel like taking a deep breath, kissing your hand and blowing that kiss to some place far away.
Imagine seeing that kiss settling softly on the lips of your sweetheart, and those very lips curving in surprised pleasure.
That mysterious caress and those sweet words of love, so special to two people in love - that's what love and romance cards seek to convey.
Send a kiss or a hug, say it in prose or borrow a few lines of poetry - it's all yours when you step in to choose some love and romance cards.
E-cards or paper greeting cards, love and romance cards have become an integral part of romance.
While it may be useless to route an e-card to a person who is rarely on-line (which is itself a rarity now), paper cards are welcome anytime and anywhere.
There's a favorite one-liner I picked up from someone: 'When in doubt, COMMUNICATE'.
Relationships thrive on communication - words, gestures, gifts, cards and sometimes even a deep long look is enough.
Love and romance cards are yet another fascinating facet of communication. They may be touching, romantic, tender or even funny, but without cards, romance would seem a tad boring.
