The humble greeting card is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. I love to haul out my cards every year, just the same as I would Christmas ornaments or icicle lights. And there are so many reasons to give them: Maybe you’ve finally picked the perfectpresent, but now you’re looking for that extra little something to amp it up a notch. Maybe you’re spending the holidays away from family and want to let them know you’re thinking of them. And a nice-looking holiday card iscrucialwhen gifting something like cash, an “experiential gift” like printed-out concert tickets, or agift card. Since I consider myself a bit of a holiday-card connoisseur, I’ve found 15 well-designed options for Christmas, Hanukkah, and the New Year. I’ve included my own personal favorites as well as some options recommended by my fellow Strategist writers.
