Do you keep your Christmas and birthday cards or do you put them in the rubbish when you have read them, like I do?

  • Yes, but only favourite cards which seem memorable to me. Otherwise no.

    • If anyone has any to donate send me a message on fb please, and i will let you know where to send them please and thank you. The backs of the cards can be thrown away, just save the fronts with the pictures that is all they need to make the new cards.

      • We save every card of ours and from others who donate for making brand new cards for the local nursing home and senior citizens where we live. Please no one throw away old cards, please save them for our group. We have a people in Virginia that makes us new cards from them and we donate them, they even make new envelopes also for them, they stamp them and give to the elderly, and the elderly so look forward to getting those cards every year.

        • Hmmm

      • Put them in the recycle bin
        ·
        • There was a system in place for Xmas card recycling not sure if it still exists.Keep cards from those closets to you because when you are gone and someone needs to sort through your things those cards from the un known will be tossed but family get a loving rush to think that you kept their cards for a long time this is from personal experience .

          • We collect enough unnecessary things and they end up a burden. It is nice to have a collection of special things. Don't overdo it.

            • Keep them for a whole, then sort them out, chuck them when I think they are not necessary to be kept

                    • I keep them and make my own scrap book of memories. Some of the real old cards I cut some of the pictures and recycle by making posters or a Collage for decoration.

                      • I only keep the ones that are genuinely meaningful.

                          • I used to give cards out a long time ago, but not anymore. If someone gives me a card, I will give one in return. But i throw them out afterwards.
                            ·
                            • I don't buy cards of any kind. I would rather add the cost to the gift I am buying. Most people look at cards for 30 seconds and then bin them and at a cost of $7.99 it doesn't seem worthwhile.
                              ·
                              • I have kept cards from those passed away, but I the rest I throw

                                    • Your heading needs no apostrophe. I keep my cards unless they're truly mundane.
                                      ·
                                      • It depends on the card. I keep cards that have sentimental value or cards that are very artistic especially handmade onez

Recently I had the job of cleaning out a friends Mothers unit as she had gone into a home, I found a 21st birthday card to the lady from her parents which was lovely to read the lady now is 88 yrs old. It's a cherished memory for her.

                                                      • Organise them into keep and trash pile to throw them out.
