Lice, LIce Baby

Corrie on August 28, 2015

Head lice is every parent’s nightmare. Unfortunately, children are often exposed to head lice in classrooms across America. Every year, 6-12 million head lice cases are reported. Getting rid of the parasites is difficult – miss one egg while combing and a hatched female can lay her own brood of eggs, creating another generation.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association of School Nurses have recommended a new policy which is sweeping through schools across the nation – rather than send a child home immediately, the parents are notified by phone and the child may continue their school day.

Greeting Card Universe is itching to offer you Get Well/Feel Better – Head Lice cards to send to someone who has suffered an unwanted and unexpected infestation. Just order on-line, add your personal message and we’ll get your card in the mail the next business day. It’s easier and more convenient than getting rid of head lice, that’s for sure!

“High quality cards, exactly the same as you would find in a store – except you can’t find these in a store! Very happy with my purchase of cards for various family members (including myself) going to a gay wedding. Disappointed I couldn’t find anything locally but sooooo happy I found this site! It’s my new go-to for all my cards.” – Nancy – Cheektowaga, New York – August 26, 2015

Camping Out

Corrie on August 27, 2015

In 1978, newspapers reported Bigfoot sightings in Hartford County, Maryland according to Robert Chance, an environmental education teacher at a local high school who claimed to have circumstantial evidence and had actually met the crypto-creature. Chance believes Bigfoot is intelligent, fears humans and walks around the Appalachian mountain region, hidden in the thick forests. He faces a great deal of criticism, but has faith that one day, his belief in Bigfoot will be vindicated.

If you decide to have a camping party in the woods, you don’t need to worry about Bigfoot crashing the fun when you send unique Kids Birthday Party/Camping Out Invitations. Just order on-line, add the date and times and we’ll put your invites in the mail the next business day.

Take Your Best Shot

Corrie on August 24, 2015

In 1999, it was reported in Tokyo, Japan that 36 year old Akira Hareruya’s company had gone bankrupt. In an effort to save his business, he roamed the city streets renting boxing gloves for $9 a minute and allowed paying pedestrians to try to hit him as much as they liked. He gave his word to dodge only and not to return the blows. According to Hareruya, boxing is a great stress reliever. He also allows verbal abuse during the boxing session. How much does he earn? $200 a night.

Greeting Card Universe helps you offer encouragement to someone in need without donning boxing gloves by offering unique Get Well cards in so many sub-categories, you’re bound to find exactly the right card for the occasion. Just order on-line, add your personal message and we’ll mail your selection the next business day.

What Are Happy Customers Saying About Greeting Card Universe?
“I have this morning received my sons card for his Masters Degree. It was so easy to order and came so quickly. It is beautiful for which I thank you very much. I ordered on from Zazzle and when it came it was not what I ordered and disgraceful. I tried several times to get help but constantly had a set reply. I was disgusted, so thank you so much for the beautiful card. I will order from you again when the occasion may occur and recommend to my friend and family. Many thanks.” – Mrs Jean Craner – August 20, 2015
