Working in a busy office can be tough at times. I try to make life easier by having snacks and developing employee contests in order to keep stress at bay. I’m always looking for new ways to create a friendly working environment. Sending out birthday, holiday, and congratulation cards are a fabulous way to connect with employees and show appreciation. In addition, I feel great knowing that I have wonderful relationships with everyone in my office. In order to continuously give out cards (it seems that there’s at least one birthday every week), I found that buying bulk greeting cards really makes a difference. No longer do I have to continue a weekly run to the local drug store. I have all the cards I need right at my fingertips!
Assortment boxes are the absolute best. I can purchase a box that has cards for every single occasion. I love that greeting card companies choose the best of their selection and put a few of each design in a single box! I know I have a difficult time choosing; all of the cards are so intricately designed! The assortment boxes let me get the best of the best in conjunction with peace of mind. You definitely can’t beat that!

I didn’t know that there were assortment boxes, but after reading your blog I looked into them. What a great thing to have the cards I need at my fingertips. The mixed assortment with sympathy, anniversary and birthday cards is really a time saver and I find that they are less expensive than buying individual cards at the store.
I don’t know how my coworkers feel – if they even know I do this – but in my down time, I fill out birthday cards ahead of time and file them in a date file so when the birthday comes up, the card is all ready to go. I know it doesn’t seem very personable but it really makes my life much easier. And I leave it on their desk the night before so if for some reason I don’t come into the office they will still get their card.
I agree and get the assortment box also. I was surprised to find that they are reasonably priced compared to buying one at a time from the card store
WHat I like best about the assorted boxes is that I am not sending out the same card to everyone. If there’s more than one person having a birthday over the course of a few days then there are different cards on display. If I sent the same card to 2 or more people it would look a little silly, no?
