Recently I was told that it's only people over 70 who still send cards in the post.
Really?
But thinking it over, the only cards I could recall receiving in recent years were from my Mum and a couple of aunts. (Yep. All over 70)
Are cards really going the same way as the printed road map? Cheque books? The Yellow Pages? Once essential, then quietly becoming unnecessary?
As it turns out, no. Definitely not.
The opposite is happening.
As digital fatigue increases, sending physical cards is quietly being revived.
It is becoming an intentional preferred choice for all ages.
To slow down, to be thoughtful, to stand out from the digital noise. This matters more now precisely because speed has become the default
When you send a handwritten message in a card, in the post, consider how it makes someone feel. Not because of what you say, but of how you chose to say it.

It signals that you paused your life, even briefly, to think about them in a way that couldn’t be automated or rushed.
Most people don’t receive handwritten notes often anymore.
So when they do, it stands out.
It also gives the recipient something they can keep.
That alone changes how it’s received.
Sending handwritten cards is not enduring despite the digital age.
It's on the up. Because of it.
