Christmas cards have now appeared in the shops in large quantities, and that reminded us this week that we need to review the cards we offer our customers.

At AFriendinNeed.co.uk we specialise in sending gifts to people in hospital on behalf of friends and family who unfortunately are not able to visit in person.  We despatch each gift with a greeting card, on which we write a message from the friend or family member.

We have a selection of cards that we display on the website.  Some are traditional “Get Well” cards; others have to be a little more subtle, as the patient may unfortunately not get better.  Some are designed primarily for women, some are for men, and some would suit anyone.

We try to select a range of cards that would appeal to most people, and we haven’t had any complaints so far.  However, we would always welcome any ideas on what makes an ideal card to send to someone in hospital.
