Sometimes you are in the card aisle to find a card that makes you smile, shed a tear or get some sentimental value out of it. And other times you are looking at Hallmark’s new Buzzworthy cards – full of wit, snark and just plain sassy pants galore.
Buzzyworthy cards are the newest cards in the greeting card aisle at Walmart. They have got a great big sign showing that they are the latest card on the shelf – but grab them while they are hot because they are for a limited time. Not only are they in the main card section, I also found them on the end-cap display which makes them so easy to spot!
So when you didn’t think greeting cards could get more original think again. These cards are actually totally different from the sea of typical greeting cards! That is because they follow a meme-like persona. They have snarky, edgy, and very current topics and phrases. But beware! These cards might not be appropriate for everyone – and that’s exactly why I like them!
They border on inappropriate, like this card:
The very cool part about these cards is that they are constantly being changed out. They are current to the times, news-events, season and holidays, so they are fresh every few weeks. They are always relevant, which makes them timely and fun.
For instance, some examples of cards this Summer:
Front: “I get my summer glow from a bottle.” Inside: “It’s called “Chardonnay”.
Front: “Waffle patterns on your butt from lawn chairs fade.” Inside: “Friendship lasts forever.”
Front: “Public pools are great if you like to relax in dead bugs and strangers’ pee.” Inside: “Hap-pee pool season.”
Front: “July is National Hot Dog Month. Time to get your wieners out!” Inside: “Your buns too!”
Front: “With deepest sympathy on the passing of your lawn.” Inside: “I’ll always remember it as young and green.’’”
And some example of cards for September:
I can’t wait to see what card come out for October and then the upcoming holidays! I am sure they are going to be a hoot!
These Buzzworthy cards are great to give to friends and family anytime! They are unexpected and can cheer someone up as a total surprise! Since they often have no relevant related event (birthday, wedding, etc.) they are just-because cards that you give well, just-because!
I love the idea of these cards. They are just so sporadic and random. They get me to buy them and then send them in a timely manner, due to their timely nature. I get to brighten a friend, neighbor or relatives day – on any non-special, ordinary, not-important day!
