Wallet Card - I’m Sending You a Hug Today

When you can’t be there in person, send the next best thing. This cheerful wallet card delivers an unexpected hug for no reason other than being loved, and invites the reader to treat every word as a squeeze straight from your heart to theirs. Distance, consider yourself outmaneuvered.

Hugs are more than sentiment. Researchers have linked a good embrace to the release of oxytocin, the so-called bonding hormone, and there’s even a National Hugging Day every January 21. This card is a hug that never wears off and never needs a plane ticket.
