It depends on the relationship you have with the recipient, and their personality. Heartfelt designs and personal photos suits close friends and family, like parents and grandparents. For example, including a photo of you together with the recipient always works. You can also choose from our favourite TouchNote card designs. If you're unsure, a warm and personal message is always a good option.

Photos are perfect for shared memories, for example - trips, family moments or occasions. They're a great way to make the card feel even more personal.
