Tips for writing your Christmas card
Start with the recipient's name – it makes the greeting personal straight away. Add one memory or thank-you from the past year, even a single sentence is enough. Sign by hand, and if the card is from a family, write everyone's names.

Post in good time: Posti announces the last day for Christmas mail every year so your card arrives before Christmas Eve. Cards going abroad should be sent even earlier.

A card they will remember
A good message deserves a card that delights the moment it is opened. A 3D pop-up Christmas card unfolds into a three-dimensional Christmas scene in the recipient's hands, and many people keep it as a decoration for years. Short on time?
