Gifting Guide: Greeting Cards for Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving

Thanksgiving doesn't have its own greeting-card aisle the way birthdays and anniversaries do, so a card for a host or a Friendsgiving gift exchange usually ends up being whatever's closest on the shelf.

Pick for the Occasion, Not the Holiday Name

A celebratory pop-up card works fine for Thanksgiving if the message inside fits — the occasion printed on the front matters less than what you write.

Pair It With Something Small

A card alone can feel thin for a Friendsgiving gift exchange; pairing it with a small item like a bag of potpourri rounds it out without overspending.

Write Something Specific

A pop-up card's novelty wears off fast if the message inside is generic — a specific line about the year or the gathering makes it worth keeping.
