In a world awash with digital communications, the tradition of sending AND receiving "Thinking of You" cards is a fun and easy way to express warm feelings to friends and family and let them know you have them in your thoughts.
Whenever the seasons are changing, as now we just about done with summer and heading into beautiful autumn, it’s a time to think about the change, transitions, and hopes for the near future. Some of us are going back to school, some are starting new jobs, some are already thinking ahead about the holidays. Why not also make it a time to let others know you are thinking of them today?
Benji's of Brooklyn can help as we offer a wide and unique selection of handmade greeting cards, that perfectly capture the essence of thoughtfulness and of new beginnings. We wanted to explore these ideas with you and show how the charm of well-crafted greeting cards can help you show others affection and care.
Thinking of You: The Power of Personal Touch
"Thinking of You" cards stand out in today’s digital age since unlike the more transient digital messages that we receive all the time (and dare we say, take for granted?), these cards are tangible, crafted keepsakes that one can hold onto for years. They can be lasting reminders of the thought and effort put into acknowledging someone's presence in your life. Benji's of Brooklyn specializes in such custom greeting cards so you can add a personal touch to every message you send, making friends or family recipients feel truly special.
Let’s take friendship and think about these important contributors to our lives. For many people it is the basis for happiness. Making and holding onto life-long buddies is truly one of the greatest gifts we have. So, at Benji’s of Brooklyn, we think about fun and original ways when designing our hand-crafted greeting cards to express our love to friends. Naturally, this also makes us think of the concept of “man’s best friend” (or woman’s…or everyone’s!) which means our furry little animals and pets in our lives.
At Benji’s, you can find a perfect card that celebrates life and friendship and which features charming cats, loyal dogs, and even lovely birds and graceful butterflies. This is a part of our collection that is sure to brighten anyone’s day. These heartfelt messages of love and friendship are easy to find and get on our website. By browsing you can choose your favorite design, write a warm message, and sign your name to create a truly special keepsake for friends.
Speaking of butterflies, did you know that we also offer a fabulous, interactive way to say I am thinking of you and want you to know it? We have fun, interactive butterfly e-greeting cards, which come with our official filter so you can send a loved one’s original artwork which comes to life. This special gift then reveals a message that you’re thinking of them! As an added bonus, they can turn their phone camera to selfie mode when the butterfly stops moving…for a surprise that will make them smile even more!
Celebrating Life by Living in the Moment
It’s hard to stay focused on the moment today when our phones are bombarding us with endless messages and info. But are these the types of “interactions” we are craving in life? There is something to be said about slowing down and making a conscious choice to “live in the moment.” It seems as we age, time speeds up and goes by in the blink of an eye. Obviously, time moves forward at the same rate it always has. But for some reason as we get older, it seems to go faster, and before you know it, summer is over and soon half of September too.
But there are ways to make life feel less harried. Stepping back and taking a moment to be thankful for all we have is key. Telling and showing others around us (or friends and family that are afar) that they are on your mind is a powerful way to celebrate and live in the moment. Benji’s "Thinking of You" cards are an invitation for celebrating life. Since each is thoughtfully designed, they are perfect for when words need to be felt just as much as they are read. We can even call these Life Celebration Ideas.
Crafting Connections
One of the most beautiful aspects of sending a "Thinking of You" card is the chance to create deeper bonds. Again, take a moment to pause, reflect, and connect to others even when we are busy in hectic lives. Despite physical separations, emotional connections can remain strong and heartfelt. Benji’s cards can convey deep and personal sentiments.
We like to think that it’s not just a physical piece of paper you are sharing, but memories and feelings. Benji's illustrated custom greeting cards, (and remember they are hand-crafted and made in New York City!), can help. For instance, let’s say you are visiting the Big Apple and want to let your friends know you are thinking about them. It’s the perfect moment to share special memories of your trip. Benji’s has so many cards that can do this, such as the Coney Island Wonder Wheel Greeting Card or the Statue of Liberty Car which delight your friends.
There’s so many amazing sights to see in NYC. How about unique ways to say "Hello" such as with the image of the Chrysler Building with its iconic style and glamor. How about a card with the Flatiron Building? Another beautiful and iconic architectural symbol of New York. It’s hand-painted, eye-catching design will stand out from the crowd.
A Focus on New Beginnings and Transitions
Life is full of transitions and new chapters. And we think that this is never more apparent than when time passes and seasons start to change. And change can be a bit stressful. We know that at this time of year many people start to think about getting back to work, or school, or making new plans and goals for the future.
So, again, a great way to honor these moments (and perhaps help yourself and others de-stress a bit) is to send warm, uplifting thoughts. “Thinking of You” messages can be particularly useful at these times. Whether it’s a friend moving to a new city, a relative starting a new job, or a loved one going through personal changes, these cards can signify support and excitement for whatever lies ahead. Benji’s offers a range of cards that beautifully capture themes of renewal and hope and make them ideal for conveying support during these transitional periods.
