Following your birthday, and a decent interval, what do you do with your birthday cards?

Also, do you believe in re-gifting the presents that you don't really like?

affer a shelf life of 1 wk thats fair and then theyre binned- had ideas of collaging but never got round to it and dont like hoarding stuff. unwanted gifts,ive been q lucky on that score and havent had any as u get older all ur expecting is what u asked for and the buyers have been v careful eg vouchers so i choose what i want,my mum and sister are good too with 'surprises' to add to monetary gifts. if i got unwanted pressies then id charity them or sell on auction and maybe buy for that 'unwanted gift buyer' boy was that longwinded but answered well or maybe not-ciao!
Reply:After a few weeks, I shred all the cards and put them in the recycling bag. Having said that, I did keep my 21st birthday cards for over 20 years before I chucked them out. If I were to get a present that I didn't really like, I think I would probably keep it for a while and then maybe gift it to someone as long as it wasn't the person who gave it to me or anyone who knew the person who gave it to me!
Reply:I chuck the ugly birthday cards and keep the really nice ones with nice words for quite a while.


I have also re-gifted....lol
Reply:I save every card I get. I had a picnic basket I never used that became my card storage, lol.


I like the idea of maybe cutting the fronts off and using them in scrapbooks or make a collage.


One of my friends burns hers, and as each card burns they say a memory they enjoy about the person who sent it. kinda weird, but some people like that kind of thing.
Reply:I open them, read them, toss them (unless the giver is standing right there). I don't re-gift.
Reply:I toss them in the trash... you'll get more next year.





I don't regift because I rarely get birthday gifts. But I would if it wasn't something I could use.














g-day!
Reply:My wife cuts them up and recycles the designs on the front into handmade cards.
