THINKING OF YOU WEEK - 16-22 SEPTEMBER 2024
15 AUGUST 2024
Thinking of You Week is a special week that harnesses the emotional power of greeting cards to create a wave of love, caring and happiness.
Sending handwritten cards generates positive feelings and wellbeing, creating an emotional response; take a look at our post on the psychology of card sending.
The fact that you have spent the time to make or choose a card, write it, and send it makes the person receiving it feel far more special and cared for than receiving instant texts, emails or other social media messages.
Cards are displayed in the home and many are kept for years, providing a reminder of the person that has sent it and of your relationship with them. Greeting cards are also great social history as design and messaging changes with each generation.
Everyone is welcome to get involved in Thinking of You Week, writing and sending cards whether handcrafted or bought, and helping to promote sending cards as the best way to show how much we care about others.
There will be Thinking of You Events up and down the country, in schools, communities and local shops. Why not organise a card-writing event in your local area? We have a free toolkit to help you get involved.
