Listen up people. Physical, real life, handheld cards are more personal and thoughtful than posting on Facebook or sending an e-card.

Make Your Own Card
Obviously, if you are a talented graphic designer, you may want to make your own card which is very thoughtful and requires more time than selecting a card. Places like Printkeg, Zazzle, Cafepress or Uprinting are all great places to print a high quality flat or folded card.
Conclusion

I discovered many of these destinations and cards by using Pinterest’s search features rather than using the websites themselves. Hopefully, this gallery has inspired you enough to find that special card for the geek in your life.
