Merry-go-round reusable gift cards

How they work

Merry-go-round cards simply have slits cut inside the card allowing it to hold your message on a separate slip of paper.

The person who you send the card to then has the option of replacing this slip of paper with their own and sending the card on with a new message.

Each card starts its life holding x2 message slips with instructions on the back showing how future senders can re-use the card.

The benefits

Environmental - by reusing a resource it becomes instantly twice as good for the environment, as all the energy it would take to create a new product has been saved. In addition to this, Merry-go-round cards are made from 100% post consumer recycled stock. The cards are created using environmentally friendly printing processes and soy based inks. Merry-go-round cards are recyclable when finally finished.

Value - Each collection or 'series' of Merry-go-round cards are printed as a limited number. So the longer a card is in circulation, the rarer it will become. And in sending, you are not just giving someone a card, you are also giving them the gift of the card as they can use it again.

 

Love - each time someone sends a Merry-go-round card they can fill in one of the little trees on the back of the card to record how many greetings, well wishes or messages of love it has carried.

Individual - how you choose to include your personal message is up to you. A letter, photos or a few slips of paper can be inserted allowing flexibility and individualisation.
