Personalizing this further

These cards are best when they're for no reason. Reference a recent moment together, or a quality you appreciate about them. "Thinking of you" is a complete card if it's true. Friends rarely expect a card and almost always remember getting one.

A heartfelt card to cousin rarely fails when you anchor it to one specific moment between you. Skip the universal lines; reach for the one only you could write.

What to avoid

Don't use a friendship card to settle a score, raise a grievance, or fish for an apology. Don't get heavier than the relationship can hold — a card is not a place to confess long-buried feelings if doing so would change the friendship.
