With the exception of turning in wanted bandits and participating in transparent credit-card programs, the act of giving is the most rewarding act on Earth. Gift yourself the power of gifting with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of custom cards from Jack Cards, an online shop for custom and personalized card creation.

Jack Cards, which has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and on the Today Show, is stocked with cards ($3.50–$5, plus $.98 shipping) for a range of occasions, including birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. To ensure that no holiday or recipient is forgotten, the site allows customers to organize important dates and automate deliveries in a user-friendly, online planner. When a key date rolls around, Jack Cards sends the "sender" a stamped and addressed card, which can then be signed, smooched, or perfume-infused before being dropped in the mail. If desired or required, Jack Cards can also hand write a card of your choice and then mail it directly to the recipient.
