| American Made Greeting Cards and Gifts |
American Made Greeting Cards are listed here for you, with a really nice range from fantastic photography of the world we live in, such as the Lisa Densmore's Mount Sopris greeting card, to romantic painting, to whimsical drawing, and affectionate renditions of small town America from Garry Walters. And to help the environment, we have Cards by Bo, greeting cards using recycled paper. In addition, if it's a birthday or anniversary, we have a few suggestions below for gifts-beautiful hand carved pen and pencil sets or the delicately crafted charms from Microsculptures. Or to introduce a child to the world of music, there are the hand carved flutes from Rick Heller. For more gift suggestions, please see jewelry. And did you know that the greeting card concept can be traced back to the ancient Chinese and Egyptians? The Egyptians used papyrus scrolls. It was in the 1850's that the handmade individual cards were gradually replaced with affordable printed cards. The first Christmas card appeared in the UK in 1843.
