He does not understand why I would go through so much trouble to give my friends, family members, and co-workers small gifts that are wrapped perfectly. I explain, every year, that it\u2019s my way of showing that I care. Last year, things were a bit different. I just didn\u2019t have the time! I looked at my Christmas lists, one for gifts and one for cards, and I had a light bulb moment. I realized I could wrap the small gifts in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/personalized-christmas-cards.htm\"><strong>personalized Christmas cards<\/strong><\/a>! My husband was obviously ecstatic about this plan, and he even \u201cwrapped\u201d his gifts for others all by himself.<\/p>\n<p>We themed the \u201csmall\u201d gifts around this idea and we ended up having so much fun picking out gifts in every price range. In the end, it turned out we had bought all our gifts to fit in cards. My co-workers received glass pendants, his co-workers received ornaments, and many on our list received gift cards. Since we always buy personalized holiday cards, with our names and a message printed inside, we used those beautiful cards to wrap everything. We sent our daughter a pair of handcrafted earrings and a gift card, and our son-in-law received tickets to a game. The most exciting part of our \u201csmall\u201d gift adventure was the challenge. It was like a game, trying to find gifts in every price range that we could fit inside our Christmas cards. My husband had such a good time; he\u2019s continuing the tradition this year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Each year, when I sit down with my Christmas list, which is inevitably long, my husband asks the&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1292,1301,28],"tags":[134,910],"class_list":{"0":"post-3263","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","7":"category-holiday-traditions","8":"category-holiday-cards-and-tidbits","9":"tag-personalized-holiday-cards","10":"tag-personalized-christmas-cards","11":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Making The Most Out Of Personalized Christmas Cards - Gallery Connection<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/holiday-cards-and-tidbits\/making-personalized-christmas-cards\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Making The Most Out Of Personalized Christmas Cards - Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Each year, when I sit down with my Christmas list, which is inevitably long, my husband asks the&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/holiday-cards-and-tidbits\/making-personalized-christmas-cards\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2011-10-14T16:52:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-11-27T03:12:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/holiday-cards-and-tidbits\/making-personalized-christmas-cards\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/holiday-cards-and-tidbits\/making-personalized-christmas-cards\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Henry L.\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/354a198a194eb6492cbacff6edb7440b\"},\"headline\":\"Making The Most Out Of Personalized Christmas Cards\",\"datePublished\":\"2011-10-14T16:52:16+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-11-27T03:12:04+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/holiday-cards-and-tidbits\/making-personalized-christmas-cards\/\"},\"wordCount\":311,\"commentCount\":8,\"keywords\":[\"personalized holiday cards\",\"Personalized Christmas Cards\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Occasions &amp;
