Nothing is harder than to find the right birthday card for a relative one or a friend. With all the choices, it can be very complex to choose the good one. The text or the image don't always work and you get the risk of buying the same one as last year. People with talent to make their own card do their own ones and there it is, but for others, the nightmare comes back again every year.
With the technology of today, a photo camera and a good sense of organisation, it's possible to create your own personnalised card. First, write to your agenda all the birthdates of your close ones. Associate with each of them a theme that will fit with them: nature, animals, outdoors, sports, etc. After, think of a photo you can take to show the passion they have. Or again, take pictures of the person doing it's favorite hobby when you go out with them.
After that, you just need to go to your computer or a shop who devellops photos to create unique birthday cards. You can also put some text in your virtual cards. If you don't have any inspiration, just look at poems and transcribe one who makes you think of that person.
All your close one will then wait impatiently for their birthdays!
