Old Cards
 

What do yall do with old birthday/anniversary etc cards? Was having a clear out yesterday in preparation to move house and found a load of old ones and chucked them in recycling, then wondered why I even kept them in the first place :laugh:

Do all your cards go in the bin or are there any you keep for personal reasons?

I'm quite a nostalgic person so my birthday cards go in a bag in my wardrobe. I'll never ever ever need them, but I can't get rid of them.

I kept my 16th and will keep my 21st ones

I think that’s the reason I kept them too, but now just having a 23rd birthday card from a friend seems a bit stupid :laugh: I’ve kept my 21st ones tho

Usually throw them out. I kept a birthday card from an ex once because he made it and it was really special (even though it probably sounds really lame :laugh: ) but I haven't kept any others.

I kept my cards off my ex actually but when I finished him i burnt them with my friend in the back garden :skull:

Yeah, I used to keep all cards but it gets ridiculous. To be honest, I always ask people NOT to get me cards now as I just think they're a waste of money. I have kept all cards from when my son was born in his memory box and sympathy cards from when my mum passed in a memory box but any others get recycled straight away

I think I have a few saved somewhere from my 18th and 21st but others I bin.

Bin them unless they mean something

I use em for roaches

Keep them if they've got a lot of writing inside them / have been personalised.

Just keep special ones and kept all my 16/18/21 etc ones the rest I bin

We have a big box of congratulations cards from when the kids were born.
I keep cards from hubby and the kids as well.
I saved the last birthday card and Xmas card from my dad as I knew he was near to death.

I've kept ones that are special. My 18th, 21st ones and other ones such as congratulations ones when I got my degree and stuff.

I think I've got most of mine at home in the wardrobes, we used to cut out the picture on the front and use them as present labels though

I keep home made ones and personilised ones or if they have something nice written in them

Bin em

bin them apart from home made ones from the children over the years, they go in a memory box

I use a wet sponge to dab out the handwriting, and then address them to people when it's their birthday

I keep special cards. Old Valentines, cards covered with xo's from my nieces when they were little. The rest go in the recycling.
