If you don't know Jack. . .
I love receiving a birthday card in the mail, but when it's my time to send them out, I usually resort to a hastily typed email. Forgive me, but taking three kids anywhere near a rack of greeting cards is just asking for a headache.

I have fewer excuses now that Jack Cards has appeared on my radar. Started by Boston-based friends Katherine Santer and Kim Dowds, Jack Cards is like my own personal card store. From the comfort of home, I can brows cards from designers such as CMP faves Bumble Ink and Binth without worrying that the children are rearranging the Sympathy section. Then, I just choose one for each person I've entered into my free account, and Jack Cards will mail them to me a few weeks before the important date.
 
Get this: Jack Cards will also address and stamp the cards for me, so all I have to do is write a personal note, get them into the mailbox,  then sit back and marvel at how organized I now seem. -Christina
