Lately, I have been trying to find some nice greeting cards for my Fiance... and I figured that there are hardly any nice cards that you get in US.
I am a big cards person and used to give cards for no reason (ask my best friend Priyanka). I realized that you get such nice cards in India of any occasion or just like that cards that I always got more than one card whenever I went to the card shop. Archies, Hallmark, and etc. say the right feelings whats on your mind. But here, I have been so many times and hardly get a good card. I end up buying a card just because I like it but dont end up giving it.
And when I was trying to find a reason why dont I like the cards here, I found that its culture difference. The way we think is a little different than the way people think here. The expression style is different. Plus, since arrange marriage is part of our culture we get cards for every phase of this period... here its not like that...
And, the cards are way more expensive.. starts from $2. I dont know what are the rates in India now, but I could have bought 5 cards in $2. And the nicer, little decorated cards are around $5. Now thats a lot!
Anyways, if you know of some better card shops in US, let me know! I need cards to express myself... :D :)
