What Do You Do With Old Greetings Cards?
Cards are not cheap, but I imagine most of them, like mine, end up in the dustbin meaning millions of pounds squandered each year which seems such a waste. What do you do with yours?

Most of the glitter ones I find are at Xmas so they get torched along with the glittery wrapping paper.
I must say, we got a lot fewer cards last year thank goodness and with postage getting rediculous hopefully that trend will stop.
Within the close family we all have 2 or 3 special cards that are our favourites previously received for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries etc and we hand them back so they can be given again and put up the next year. We don't always know which one we will be given each year and we can keep writing extra messages inside the cards to make it fun. So we never have to do the dreaded card shop looking for 'just the right verse' etc. Makes life much easier and saves a lot of money wasted on new cards each time.
