Where are the greeting cards?

On several occasions there are barely any cards to say how you feel. For example, merry Christmas is a general greeting. If you wish to make it more personal like merry Christmas to my dear sister or to my lovely fiancee have a peaceful holiday then perhaps you have to make the card yourself. There should be more personal greeting cards on the market that relate to every day situation and to every individual. Mother´s day does not consist of just children giving their moms a card. What about a sister, friend, co-worker, cousin, aunt or in laws that also has children? It would mean more to them to have a card that says "For a loving sister on Mother´s day" or "For my cousin on mother´s day" these things help to give the occasion something more special about it. It seem as if companies are running out of ideas but it can be a good thing to start personalizing more greeting cards. How about you did something wrong and wanted to apologize but wanted to express your feelings through a card? How about asking your best friend to be your bridesmaid or best man? Its a typical situation to be admiring someone secretly but just never have the guts to actually say it. How about a card that says it all? What about asking someone out to the movies or telling your spouse thanks for something s/he did? It would be a great deal to find a card that fits when you really need one. So next time you are in search of a good card that says exactly what you want and dont seem to find one, make a suggestion to the sales person or the manager of the shop to get more cards that reflects every day situations.
