I used to be a master of correspondence. Hand written thank you notes, birthday cards that arrived on time, letters on beautiful sheets of paper; I’m telling you…I did it ALL. But over time, thank you notes turned into thank you emails, birthday cards became posts on Facebook pages, letters became texts. And that’s if any of them even go out at all.

I think part of the issue is that electronic correspondence never felt as special. No stamps or stickers required when composing an email. There’s not even a pretty pen involved! And don’t even get me started on the lame selection of online cards I normally find. But I knew I needed to somehow find that same joy in the new school that I found in the old school. Especially when it comes to my “girls”.

That’s the four of us above that were inseparable in high school; Tyna, Tiffany, Allyson and me. Through the highs and lows of being a teenager, we were always there for each other. As we got older, and our lives went down different paths; college, marriage, kids; being there became harder to do while we were in different cities. Correspondence became vital to letting each other know we care. But if it’s not easy, and I’m not excited by my options, I won’t do it. So, what’s a girl to do? The answer is justWink!

justWink brings back that loving feeling of finding the perfect card. Whether you have the time to send them the classic way with their cards you can buy in store, buy them through the iPhone app (where they will print and mail a physical card for you) or send them for free via text, Facebook or email; they have a selection of cards for whatever you want to say. For me, I felt I was long overdue to let the girls know what they meant to me. So I downloaded the app and started browsing.

Delve into their categories and you’ll notice immediately that this isn’t the typical online card selection. Sure, you’ll find ones that are heartfelt. But more so, you’ll find hip designs and hilarious themes with an edge of snark. I found the perfect card for the girls very quickly.

It says “I don’t know what I’d do without a friend like you” and on the inside “seriously, I’d be bored sh*tless!” But more than just a chuckle, there’s some great things going on inside the card. You can add a photo, personalize it with a message and…

…sign your name! It may not be an actual pen, but it’s close. I was able to text the card to all three of them. And within 5 minutes, my girls knew I love them.

You can even create an automatic reminder list based on all of your Facebook friend’s birthdays. So really, no excuses for lousy correspondence skills anymore, for me or you!

  1. Looks cute! Keeping in touch with everyone I know is dependent on cards, email, etc. b/c the hubs and I live so far away from everyone we love. This looks like a new way that might need to be added to my rotation :)

  2. I miss the days of your hand written correspondence @Stef – she used to send me the best letters/packages back in our collage days! But I look forward to getting little notes to brighten my day with this app! My card (as you see above) from Stef was adorable – and I love how you can ‘sign’ them. Makes it even more personalized and special.

  3. I haven’t tried this app but I do have the “Cards” app for my iPhone where I can personalize and send fantastic photo cards. Everyone who has received one has loved it…it’s a “blast from the past” using current technology. Who doesn’t love this idea?

  4. Wow that sounds awesome. I have a ton of paper stationary and pretty pens that I used to use… but now no one does that anymore because snail mail is… well, slow! And I always struggle with finding the right greeting card. If these are cute and funny and snarky, they might be right up my alley. I like that there are so many ways to send them too. Downloading this ASAP :)

  5. I have so much stationary as well from back in the day. I’d love to write letters but 1) my handwriting has turned into a big mess and I’m not used to writing anymore and 2) I’m way too involved into modern technology to bother :( I’ll definitely check out this app!

    1. OMG @mandabear – my handwriting has become atrocious too! And I swear, sometimes I have to think for a second about how to even form letters.

  6. I saw a Just Wink card truck!!!! They were handing out free cards! And they were hilarious. My friend and I were cracking up. The app runs a little slow, but you can send them from the website too.
