In a world that’s almost abandoned letters, we hope holiday cards won’t go away too soon. However… Hallmark cards? Again? Honestly, I spend more time picking an e-card than some people do choosing paper cards. It’s the gesture that matters, yes, but when the card is out of the ordinary the gesture will be twice as appreciated.

Not that there’s anything wrong with traditional cards, especially if Auntie Mary has been collecting Santas for 20 years. However, special people deserve special treatment, and if you’ve got a relative or friend with a great (and slighly weird sense of humor), the Wondermark Greeting Cards are the best choice.

How could you resist the woes of Mapquest (the Wise Men who accidentaly end up in China), a materialistic little girl on Chanukkah or a shepard with a blog (pictured - “Oh, I am so blogging about this”)?

Each card features an reproduction of a 19th century engraving with an irreverent text and a matching holiday wish on the inside. Not for the humorously-challenged.

(P.S. If you look closely, you’ll see the website also offers cards for other occasions, so don’t forget about it after Christmas.)

How much under $29.99?
A lot: $6 for 3 cards on Wondermark.com.
